Shit mate, I hope the Wheelie Bin was empty and you were due for a pickup the
next day.  It's a bugger when you've got to call them for a one-off pickup.

It could be worse.  You might not have made it to 58.
Seven years extra time, that's nothing to complain about.

BTW, since you are now officially an orphan, have they got some sort of pension
to help you out ?

Hmmm... If you've got to day-dream, why not make them good ?

Don't worry about today.  It's to late to do anything about today because it's
already here, so there's no sense being concerned about it.  Besides, everyone
knows that tomorrow always comes and there are lots of them.  Just wait until
tomorrow and you'll know what I mean, there will be another one right behind it.

Cheers, Brenton
