A warm day but sad for some …….. in The odd entries from life …….

The time of selling has passed, things that were up for sale are going one way or an other, to the charity shop or the into the tip. Our garage is not quite tidy yet, but once the charity van has been I shall take up my brush and dusk-mask and sweep through.

I’ve been to the tip twice, waiting in line I watch people wondering between the cars still or setting of or even revisiting, out there I get neck ache trying to keep an eye on all five corners!

Paranoid is one name of safety, I’m surprised how many drive into the tips, thus they are walking round the car, I always back in but with labelled bins running across we all have to walk with heavy or awkward objects, it dose help if you are gorgeous and female or of any sex of a certain age; it is only recent I have been noticed! Having my young and fit son with me age didn’t matter.

One our first visit the ‘use this bin’ we needed to throw our waist up onto the pile, the second we were watching the bags drop into a near empty bin; people were giving space to get to the metal bin – I had an arm full of spades and forks – the gardening type pointy ends to the fore ……

Note to me. Should I live to a great age I must remember not to dress to young, their was a gent who could have been eighty, he wore long shorts that were also wide. He looked fit enough but he was pencil thin, as he passed me he didn’t touch the sides at all. But I’ll give him top points for his fitness …….

Today has been warm and humid and no wind or breeze, it was a perfect day for the ants to fly, and they did fly every where; but it was a good day for spiders; as the workers only fly once they don’t understand webs!
