22nd May 2014 - Blood, Sweat and More Boxes

Thought for the day : "I'm Supposed To respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now."

Rain again.. Oh well ...  Will at least be cool. Had a text this morning from the Welsh Blood service. They area bleeding people again today. Last time I went out they were shut. Never happened to me before, but went at 2pm - seemed a good time, to find that they take an hour and a half off for lunch now - at what seems to me to be the one time that many would be able to attend - the lunchtime break and immediately afterwards...

Need some boxes from Morrisons - was completely the wrong time yesterday - and need some more compost for the chicken run. Susie had a good idea. Put some compost down and grass seed and the chickens will have some grass to walk on when they are a little bigger ( thought they are growing so fast already!) And when they go for the chop, the grass will have matted into the compost and we can take it away as turf and re-lay the area that the laying chickens have killed all the grass over the winter.... Seems like a plan...

Well yesterday was a day down at the container. The trusty box trailer is working overtime - but it was a day for the sun and it was quite hot all things considered.

The task was quite daunting as the container had been full for quite a long time and sadly was not as dry as I had hoped. Every book needed to be taken out and wipes as it was transferred, though only one was so far gone that it needed to be thrown ... Meanwhile, Pooh and Tigger sat and watched...

 They say that moral support is as good as any other support...

It may not look tidy, but this is one trailer full heading for the Shoreline. It really needs better boxes. These ones are falling apart and should be replaced. However I think it is more important to get through the container first and then sort it out afterwards.....

Full trailer at the store - will be emptying it today....

Glass of diet coke to keep me going I think ... have to wait for this evening for the real stuff...
