Should toddle off to Screwfix, but I feel bleurgh. Does anyone want a herd of tap-dancing heffalumps?

Our tip the same, a 'hopper' for everything. TV/Monitors have their own bay, engine oil, building rubble, non-recyclable waste, binned waste. The only one I never use anymore is green waste - anything I can't compost goes in the 'green' bin. Most of the garden waste goes in the compost, and branches into my muncher for mulching.
Another good deed done, as I'd another small tin of paint left, I re-painted MIL's garage door surround and the 'storage cupboard door' - brush was still wet, and that's two tins of paint used up and out of my garage. Damn, knew I've missed something - my electrical/gas meter cover doors - thinks, hang on there may be enough left in the tin.... back in a minute.

Jobbed jobbed. Just enough left over paint for both my utility meter boxes and those of next doors (their meter faces our front garden).

Screwfix run done. Very friendly and efficient in there, I must say. 
Had a nice

Went up to visit my wildlife pal at midday to find him rushing out as somebody had called from the mainland and asked him to see to a sheep in trouble.
He has just stopped by on his way home with a ewe and twin lambs in the back of his pickup which he hopes will live till tomorrow. Difficult birth and ewe very weak but if he can get it to feed it may produce milk for the lambs he hopes.
We used to have sheep in the field opposite the house and one neighbour used to go over and assist where necessary. Tourists would gather round to watch till sworn at.
I have a hopeful ploy of making an A4 copy of my Blue Badge and laminating this before mounting on a board which I leave on the hedge to discourage tourists pinching my parking space. Last year when the car was away for an MOT I noticed some having a laugh and saying that it had no legal standing and parked there anyway. Lovely people.

I was just doing a bit of floor cleaning when I accidentally leant on a packet of baby wipes. There must have been air trapped inside because it did a little baby fart!
I absolutely love Internet radio. Whenever Mr Hebe is away for work me and the girl find Abba stations to listen to
I had a bit of a moment when I realised that she'll be old enough to get her own adult one when this one expires.

I walked down to a super market that begins with an M after tea for some groceries and got mugged by some yellow labelled croissant and other bakery items
