What have you been doing today?

[Bodd]

Went for a run, pulled my calf, then knackered

After 20 years I call her a cow... Can't remember what I called her when first pulled her.
Them knackered days are over.

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.

I watched a bunch of kids inhaling those in their car at the end of last summer and dump them all over the ground in a pretty area that isn't looked after by the council. They got out, chucked their wine bottles, fag buts and then urinated before going to the pub. Stupidly they'd left their window open so I shoved it all back inside their car... apart from the urine, obvs!

Ah hippy crack or Nitrous Oxide hmm yes seen it about in carparks.

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 used to work with someone who would chuck his McD's wrappers out the window. He said it would put someone out of a job if he didn't......
I used to **** him off royally by getting out of the van and picking it all up.

Was woken up at 12.01 and 1.45 last night with some inconsiderate barstewards car alarm going off. At 1.47 I realised it was mine! Had to leave the car unlocked to keep the alarm off - I wasn’t about to start fiddling about on my drive at that time of the morning. I’ll apologise to any neighbours I see today.

Well done... That's something I would do.

Years back I was behind a Ford Escort convertible going down the A10. He chucked his rubbish out. Me drinking my McDonald's milk shake, I was determined that I was going to chuck it into the back of his car.... He got wind I was onto him so never got to him. It was funny as we were in stop start traffic but the bugger got away.

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.

1 odd household...Is that the recycling or the landfill,,,or you chuck it all in together?

 

[durhamplumber]

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.

same here,,,Verges covered in plastic bottles,fast food wrapping,etc etc,,,is it kids,,,or adults too,,no idea,,,I would like to think young people are becoming more environmentally aware,,maybe just a minority,,who knows,,but it lies there for years and years...If they cannot do a simple thing like take litter home,,,they will struggle with many bigger issues about consideration,saving the planet,etc etc..[/QUOTE]...

The stuff I'm collecting is of pretty dubious origin so most of it will be heading for landfill unfortunately - some of the cleaner cans and newer plastic is in my recycling bin though.
2 miles, both sides of the road = 2 black bin sacks full.
Heading in the opposite direction tomorrow.

Managed to get a good load of vegetables so batch cooking for some of the village elders and unfortunates today.
Lots of carrots, leeks, onions and celery and spuds plus some gammon stock from last night, some 1/2 hour boiled lentils and pearl barley with a good splosh of Lea and Perrins, dash of vinegar and a spoon of sugar.
Caution - may cause flatulence

Got up done dome Yoga with a head stand to finish.

6 mile bike ride. Then drove to the Range for seeds, plants WD40.. Picked up more Multi purpose compost from the whole sale. Now back onto the garden.

Just taken the dog out for our daily exercise. Done about an hour and a half. Went down some track with a creepy house at the end of it (actually, I looked it up and it is the end of Hornchurch High Street) and it was deserted.

Just to the left of this picture, there is a steep embankment. We went down there into a dense wood and I came across a car that must have one day been someone’s pride and joy but has been long since abandoned. I know what it is, can anybody else guess what car it is?

 

[Bodd]

Rover 2000 or 3.5

 

[Mottie]

Way out - it’s got a 4 cyl transverse engine for a start. I bet @Burnerman will know!
