Did a bit of skip diving earlier today. Pulled 3 brand new 12” gravel boards from a skip down my road outside a house that builders have been renovating for the last 9 months. I will use them to fit along the 3 fence panels by our flower bed which have rotted at the bottom as we banked the soil up too high. I should be able to repair the panels to by trimming 12” off the bottom. Bloody heavy though, I’ll need a hand to slot them into place.
Went out for lunch with friends (1) of 50 years that we hadn’t seen since Christmas. Went to a restaurant about 20 miles from our house and we were telling our friends (1) that the last time we went there over 40 years ago we saw some mutual friends who arrived by chance who also lived 20+ miles away. As we were telling that story, we spotted ANOTHER couple of friends (2) that we knew who were also miles out of their usual manor! The friends we were with (1) knew them, as by chance, we were on holiday on a Caribbean cruise in 2011 with the friends (2) and the friends (1) we were with today turned up on the same ship. Confused? I am and I know what I’m talking about.![]()
It was actually pretty clear. I suppose you could have labelled the mutual friends as (2) and ANOTHER set of friends as (3).
Anyway, did you have a nice time?
