I don’t get the point. I’ll bet the person who delivered it did

More than once I'd say.

I think it is because if the tops are removed from the bottle, in the recycling/sorting process they fall through the grid and end up in landfill. All my recycling goes to an automated sorting centre.

Ah, thanks, I didn't know that.

It's the same reason as why they moved over to ring pulls being attached. It stops them ending up as litter all over the place.

Our plastic recycling bottles tops must be removed or left on the bottle must be squashed flat

Not around here they don’t. Paper, plastic and cans all go in the same bin. No staples or window envelopes tho’.

Day in the office broken by a walk to Asda, now what was I really needed....Only when back at the office did I remember a pair of MN21 batteries. It then poured with rain aroound 4 so I stayed later than planned and took the car to Asda to also do some frozen food shopping. Picked up enough salad leaves as the Met Office reckons four hot days coming.

Lovely sunny warm afternoon but now clouding over again.
Local farm shop advertised the freezers were full and ready for customers. I like their bacon even tho’ it cost more than supermarket stuff so off up I went.
Place was heaving just after lunch time and there was a queue for the cafe but I just bypass that and head for the shop.
No bacon and very little else so just got a pack of sausages. It seems the person doing the advertising had not checked the shop as they were waiting on stuff but it had not yet arrived.
Back home I found a neighbour struggling to put up new “Parking for Residents Only “ signs so got a bundle of cable ties and went to assist. Other neighbours arrived to see what we were doing so we ended up with an informal neighbourhood meeting.

A grey and drizzly day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, but still crampy and nauseous. Fortunately am over hump day when it comes to these things, so another couple of days and normal service will be resumed. Being stressy and having too much Adulting to do isn't helping, but hopefully by Thursday evening, the worst will be over.

Today's slug hunt yielded 29 slugs.

US Republican politics keep on giving. I wonder what kind of pills Trump's new running mate is popping...

Now sat with a and doing some writing. I shall pop the telly on for the footy in a moment.

Saw this on the Book of Faces and simply HAD to pinch it...

They need registering just in case the police don't notice one on the roof.

A second slug patrol has just yielded another 45.

Most of them were loitering with intent near my tomato plants.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Florida

There's a place that makes the rest of the USA, except LA, Hollywood and bits of New England, seem almost normal.
A regular was a guy who sat at the top of the off ramp with a sign saying "will be president for food”
