Excellent idea! 💡 If I set it on 78rpm, my Horlicks will come out ready frothed..Ah ! What you need is the motor out of a record player put in .

A few days back the gardening peeps on here were writing about what to do with fallen leaves.
I have remembered where I got my compostable leaf sacks.
https://www.crocus.co.uk/product/_/compostable-leaf-sack-for-composting-leaves/classid.2000008631/
Adding too many leaves at once to a compost heap makes a mess, as they go into a soggy clump of clumpy sogginess. I know that that you can move them somewhere sensible without picking them up. But I use these to store the ones that have fallen on the lawn. Now that my very good lawn mowering man is not visiting every fortnight, the leaves are not getting picked up in his mower box.
I am very much against having black plastic bags anywhere in the garden. These can sit in a corner behind some shrubs until they are needed as a mulch. I know that some plastic bags are biodegradable, but do they mean in commercial composters which run at a higher temperature than a domestic one? On the subject of which, is that like the "new" compostable coffee plods, allegedly compostable, but not many places take them, and so in practice they are not compostable?
@mudsticks - You might know the answer to this conundrum. 🤔

Sorry for the late reply. I expect something similar is available elsewhere. For plants I use a local nursery, but sometimes she does not have/cannot order what I would like. I also use Sarah Raven for garden things on line. And of-course the local Hardware store, which closely resembles the one in the Fork Handles Two Ronnies sketch, allowing for some updating and modernisation.

It's another dull, damp, mild for the time of year day here today. I hate these type of days. Not only is the greyness depressing,but i get plagued my midges! As soon as i leave my front door they're on me,biting my head,my face,my legs....anywhere they can get at they bite! I've noticed over the years that if it's say 5 Celsius or below i'm ok,but anything above and wet or just damp as well,they're out in force!! I've heard that they have 30,000 razor sharp teeth.If i could capture one of the feckers i'd like to knock everyone of 'em out of its gob!!

Well, four years ago to the day I was in Resus. in Stepping Hill Hospital. Despite things being a bit touch and go, and intensive care brought to the Spinal Unit, I'm still here and can still walk and cycle. 
Looking forward to a quiet Christmas and no running around after anyone.

If you're making a hot drink in the microwave simply put the mug in with the handle facing the door, set the timer for multiples of 15 seconds (1 1/2 minutes for example) and the handle will still be facing the door for easy removal when it pings.
