Finished the clearout yesterday, and we filled two 4m3 skips. The only consolation for having to order (and pay for) a second one is that if we had stuck with my original plan for a 6m3 skip, we'd still have needed a second one. Now I'm just waiting for the first time one of us wants something, can't find it, and the answer is "It went on the skip..." Bound to happen, and I give it no more than a week.
Haven't had a walk for days (with one small exception) but have regarded the clearout work as an adequate substitute. So of course tomorrow is forecast for an over 50% chance of rain through the day. Will have to hope the forecast is wrong.
Still pleased with the way I've coped with the work. I haven't had to stop for a break once, apart from the ones forced by lunch etc., and I haven't even collapsed much afterwards. I've felt tired, but not completely washed out. Under the circumstances that's not a bad record.
I did get a short walk in today because I heard that Gigaclear - our long-awaited superfast fibre-to-the-premises provider - had started work up at the Fountain Road junction. The rumour turned out to be true - conduit going in this week, fibre next. Even so it'll take a while for them to complete enough infrastructure to get us online at ultrafast speeds, but at least we now know that it's close and we won't be waiting until the end of 2021.
