Managed to overcome the procrastination and fill up the green bin. Much of it was taken with next door's Yucca which appears to have deposited its entire foliage into our garden (either that or they chucked them over the fence but they're too nice for that). I found an old cast iron BBQ underneath the overgrown bushes but it had rusted beyond recognition so is now sitting on the driveway hoping someone will decide to retrieve it for scrap metal. There is now nearly a big enough clear space for a shed, but I don't really know how you go about getting a shed and getting the ground ready, so no doubt will procrastinate long enough for it all to get overgrown again.
Dinner was pie and chips from the chippy as I am suffering with a severe dose of CBA.
There was the usual US border stuff and New Zealand cops earlier today. And this evening, it turns out there's a NEW! season of 24 Hours in A&E that started last week, still coming from QMC Nottingham

Pretty sure CUK has a number of resident shed experts who can advise. It definitely has a number of pie and chips experts, though I don't expect you need any advice in that department

Weatherman Walking: the Elan Valley: last in the series.
NCIS S19 E21 "Birds of a feather". Season finale. And a cliffhanger. Oh fecking good.
Sunny with chunks of fluff. Currently 27 degrees ('feels like' 31) with a high of 31 expected.
Arrived late, due to a late departure. Met up with some of the people we'll be travelling with for dinner. The restaurant were very accommodating considering there were 5 of us on the same late arriving flight and we got to the restaurant an hour late. Lazy day today before we start the trip proper tomorrow evening.

I'm beginning to suspect that you're really an agent with the Impossible Mission Force and all these supposed holidays to foreign climes are cover for various improbable confrontations
