About Bin Day Blues
What’s The Point?
My name is Rick Lockwood, a middle-aged bloke from the North of England. I started Bin Day Blues because, like many of us, I've immersed myself in countless books, videos, and podcasts on self-development and wisdom. My goal was to focus on what truly matters—family and loved ones—while cutting through the mountains of nonsense that clutter modern life.
As I sought a way to preserve all this information before my memory faded away, I thought, 'Hello,' there’s an opportunity here. Why not share these discoveries with the rest of planet Earth? - And on that day, just after tea time, Bin Day Blues was born.
Just for the record, I'm no expert in this field; many of the articles I’ve written might just be the bumbling rabblings of an idiot, but I hope you find something useful and after all, most of what the experts write is common sense re-packaged in a different form.
So I’ll just stand on the shoulders of giants, condense my learnings down, and help steer this bus as we navigate the crazy road of life.
There is a simple mission…
'Discover purpose and direction with a few laughs along the way.’
The Name
The name "Bin Day Blues" is inspired by the mundane yet universally relatable experience of dealing with rubbish collection days. As a fortunate chap living in a first-world country, the minor but exasperating ordeal of missing the bin collection or dashing after the bin lorry in my dressing gown is something many can identify with. My aim is to explore a variety of topics in a light-hearted and (where possible) humorous manner.
