Re-reading the above, there's another thing I like. Finally, I have a little bit of spare cash. My own fault - over stretched myself & should have been more considered. However, I am now not panicking excessively about money.

I do need to buy a brush. And also a few nice things for people who looked out for me/spent time with me and were very considerate to me across the past 3 months. Everything they did for me will not be forgotten!

Used to work as a milkman (19 years old at the time) for Unigate just before Dairy Crest bought it out. I could literally have run a marathon back then with very little training I was as fit as a fiddle running around Bilston with bottles of milk etc - only did it for a year but could write a book on the things that happened - great job crap money

Corona was the pop my Uncle delivered.

Cream Soda was ace.

Cream Soda was ace!! so much so that i picked some up whilst on a rare shopping trip recently.
I was like a kid at christmas with parents who cared and then upon getting home....it tasted like utter shite...what the fuck has happened to it?

Onto Autumn....
I LOVE IT...
The leaves cover up all the dog shit and rubbish on the floor and when i walk the dog at night its dark so i dont have to fucking stop and make
inane chatter with someone just because they too have a fucking dog.

But the big question????
Are you going to waste your time sweeping them onto the pathway* where they will inevitably blow back on your drive or actually pick them up and stick them in the "green" bin.



*Cant fucking believe people do this.

You could put a brush in me hands and a rake up me arse and I still wouldn't get on top of all this leaf clearing. Hate it.

Ive seen people blow em (fnarr) with a big thing and other people catch em in a big net thing round my parts (fnarr)

People have been equating "leafy" with being posh and having an easy life. It's not, it's hell on earth. You trying getting your servants to sweep up the leaves without grumbling and threatening revolution - it's most trying!

I've got one ace, but it won't blow when wet (fnarr)

Only really works well when leaves are dry.

I have the same problem trying to get me husband to sweep up the leaves. It too is most trying.

Mind you he's got a bad shoulder so will let him off.


Otherwise I sound like a right heartless bastard.

Will get them up eventually. Dumping them into a composter to make leaf mold.

problem is, out back if i don't clear them, i'll end up with areas where the grass dies.

Same with us out the front, and after only just done a load re seeding I really don't want to take the risk.
