I've got a pile of stuff to take to the tip, sorry, The Recycling Centre, tomorrow morning, including a dilapidated wooden shed that I've cut into manageable sized pieces.
I'll not load the car up until the morning so there's less chance of filling it up with spider's and other creepy-crawlies!

The chicken has been duly poached.

We normally used a trailer for collecting seaweed for the garden but for some reason I forget on one occasion just filled polypropylene bags and put them in the back of the car with the seats folded down. Took weeks to finally get rid of all the flies and other beasts which escaped from the bags.

No1 daughter has 5 old car tyres in her garden that she wants to get rid of. The Recycling Centre won't take them. The binmen won't take them. Them local council, who I emailed yesterday to ask, don't have any facilities to dispose of them...

I wonder why people dump them in lay-bys so the council end up clearing them away anyway!!!

Seaweed does attract bug life, doesn't it!! 😂

Aren't garages obliged to take old tyres and batteries?

They can be converted planters and I have used them in the past. Even spray painted them white to make them less like inside out tyres.

That was what she's been using them for but now doesn't want to.

Mmmmm, or maybe the local stock car track could have taken the tyres...

Had some spectacular rain showers this morning but by afternoon it was nice and sunny and up to 20C in the sunshine.
I put in about 15 runner beans but only one has germinated so put in some stakes for it to grow up. Not too bothered with not getting many beans but I never had this failure rate before and usually filled a 12 ft long fence. As a deer fence it is 7ft high so they climbed to the top and reasonably spaced out. Biggest problem was stopping convolvulus taking over as at a quick look they can appear similar in appearance.
