A rainy day – there’s something new !

Our garden maintainer was outside pruning large lumps of shrub off the hedge opposite our house, which he then cut up and put in our black bin. Tomorrow is bin collection day, so later we went out to tie up the bin liner so that when the bin gets turned upside down by the refuse lorry the whole bag comes out. If we don’t do this the contents are liable to go into the wagon, but leave the now filthy liner still in the wheelie bin.

The Postie brought large A4 envelopes in the new all paper, glued together style. The best way to open these is to cut one end or edge right off with scissors and the extract the contents, some of which will be attached to the inside of the envelope by the aforesaid gluing process. Such is progress, all in the name of being green.

Clifford the Tesco man arrived on time at midday and delivered our weekly food supply. Getting it from his boxes into our bags and then into the kitchen and the fridge and cupboards is surprisingly exhausting for Oldies like us, so it merits and sit down and a snooze afterwards.
