I think if we all did as Burnerman then it would encourage others and we could live in a nicer healthier place once ths sh¡t is over
Your stash of toilet paper?
Working in the garden with my lovely wife from 8.00am to 5.00pm with the occasional break for a coffee and a fag.
Just gently going round tidying up the flower beds, filling the hanging baskets with fresh compost ready for planting out, sowed about a dozen packets of flower seeds into trays, (somehow the granddaughter also picked a packet of tomato seeds so I've done them for her for when she is able to eventually come over), jet washed the patio and stepping stone paths. Jet washed the wicker table and chairs, (some big hairy spiders hiding in the chairs! but allowed them to run off into the grass). Fitted a new support post to one of the fence panels.
All in all a very productive day topped off with a lovely Sunday Roast cooked by my wife. Quite enjoying being furloughed.

Cleaned all my tool boxes out today. Threw all the rubbish and knackered / obsolete tools out. When I got to the bottom of them, didn't bother sifting through the assorted screws nails, dodgy looking drill bits so tipped them all into the recycling. (no doubt I've thrown out a few things I'll really need soon)

It is that time of year with vegetation is at its thinnest, nothing to hide the vast amounts of litter.
It seems to be more notable as a cyclist, pretty depressing. There is a certain distance outside of town where the fast food packaging peaks, I guess that is the distance it takes to eat it and at that point the window comes down and the rubbish is jettisoned. It just amazes me why people do it? what's going through their heads as they poke the stuff through the window, do they watch it in their mirrors? or do they not realise what is happening.
I always watch it in my mirror to make sure it’s not blown back into my car.
Just analysing (not too closely) the contents of my rubbish sack.....
Mostly plastic bottles, some well flattened, most empty but one or two containing urine (thankfully the picker I have can unscrew the tops)
6 very recent cans of Fosters
Several Greggs coffee cups (I’m 15 miles from Greggs)
Two Mars drinks (?) bottles
One serpentine drive belt
One sock
One condom
A pair of spectacles
A few glass bottles, contents unknown
A Citroen exhaust silencer including the heat shield above it (forgiveable I think)
A complete box of Mr. Kiplings cakes
Part of a girlie magazine.
Young ‘uns?

Occasionally at the main entrance road into our estate, some ****er dumps a complete box of about five hundred of those creamer gas cartridges that they use to blow up balloons and inhale. Obviously the remnant of a party. Everyone moans about it on the estate Facebook page and all say they are going to get the council to clear 'em up. I just get a broom, dustpan and brush and a carrier bag and sweep them up. Takes me just 5 minutes. Takes me longer to get there and back than it does to sweep them up.

Went for a run, pulled my calf, then knackered my second-born's wrist (football game gone wrong)
Little bugger won't go to hospital either.
We'll see if he feels any better, after a night's sleep

Forgot to say, replenished all the VCI's in said boxes.
On the litter front, I am not surprised but am surprised by both the amount and variety of the crap dumped on one of the roads I've taken to running along.
Apart from the expected bottles, cans, fag packets and receipts, there are traffic cones, road furniture, engine blocks........
....and yesterday, a fekkin' duvet.
Of all things, a fekkin' duvet.
