Ho! Kindly note, as advised some months ago, that my bins are now lilac. This ensures that the villagers do not forget to doff their caps or touch their forelocks at my approach. Big Ron the Berserker and Hank have now moved over here, the latter bringing his Static (?) caravan with him. For those fruit lovers, the Lesbian Raspberry canes are in excellent health. I thank you.  109 |

HO! S`wave I am delighted to hear that Big Ron and Hank are now resident here. My warmest regards to both of them. If you speak to Les Canes very nicely, might they be prepared to make a few donations in aid of raspberry jam? Just a thought.  They would, of course, get full credit on the labels. Royalties might be a bit tricky....... |

Mort, In the front garden, all the Irises are up, and bizarrely the heads of some red tulips are popping out and showing their colour, even though they are only a couple of inches out of the ground. It does get admiring glances as people walk past.  In the back garden, a few croci and one little narcissus have made an appearance. But should be a burst of colour in the next 2 weeks, I reckon. And your patch? Tommo |

Tommo,
My patch? Hmmm, well the past year has seen me rather caught up with other stuff, so the back garden is looking a bit sad. Sob. But in the front one the hollyhocks, foxgloves and verbascum are holding their own. The crocosmia are elbowing their through the ground, as are the blue bells. Crocus and mini tulips are showing their heads as well. But I really must get to grips with Beyond the Kitchen Door!

Wow! Bin with a power bump. Is it turbocharged?
Re: bulbs we have mostly long life ones now, which take a few minutes to come up to full glow, making the place a bit spooky when night falls.
While I think of her, has anybody seen hide or hair of Carole what with the move and all?

I've been wondering about Carole too. I think she did reappear as 'Polly' (was it?) on the other boards at one point. If you are out there, Carole, I do hope you will find your way here too. Waffling isn't proper waffling without you!

Goodness George you're up late! Here I am at 5.30 a.m. having emerged from a deep comatose state with a horribly congested head. Busy popping Codis tablets and hot tea whilst trying to see straight. Our bin day is Friday. Green bin/green box/blue bag day to be exact this week. I don't have that nifty spoiler on top of my green bin. Bog-standard one here I'm afraid. I'm really tired. I think I'll try and grab another hour's kip. |

That tells you that an inspiration for a great work of art (say a poem or a small story) can come from unexpected quarters. If one can be inspired by a bin to write such a moving story one can only imagine what could be done with other topics. Could we write a small symphony on the subject of a humble brown bin and for important grey bin. A symphony in three movements with chorus and orchestrated with lots of wood winds and a big brass band to glorify purple bin and make all other bins happy too.  |
