There is something very satisfying about hoying stuff into a skip - but Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! afterwards.

Yo-O Heave HO!

Reminds me a bit of the character Davis in The Riddle of the Sands who, although the writer does not labour the point, has an obvious addiction for throwing things overboard.

We need a bath big enough for two.

Ahhh, nothing better than a long soak in a tub to help with those achy muscles.

Okay dumb American here. What's a skip? Is that what we'd call a dumpster maybe?

A skip is a bit like a dumpster only with no lid and you pay the company to deliver the empty one and then take away and dispose - oh at these prices it had better be legally - of the crap you throw out. However should you be tempted do try and go for a company who deliver and take away the same day or else your half empty skip will transform mystically into an overflowing pile of mattresses and couches during the night, and under littering laws you are responsible for disposing of this mess. Joy! (There is something powerfully tempting about a half empty skip. Back in our old house we would often stalk the neighbourhood for such a thing when we had old bedding to get rid of - which is horribly bulky in a small domestic bin but squashes down quite well under builders' rubble and the like ( ... )

Spent 15 minutes this morning just gazing at the flat front yard. It seems possible to envisage a garden there now.

Enjoy your bath, you've deserved it. It's good to achieve something like this, but my muscles are going ouch in sympathy with yours.

Very, very nice. Still stiff this morning though. Seems like I was doing most of the lifting with my legs though as my back is fine. All the ow! is down the backs of my thighs. My physio would be proud ... if I had one.
