Mal and I went shopping. We planned to go to Tesco or Sainsbury but when we saw the queues outside we decided against it and just bought the essentials in Iceland where there were no queues. We then went to Range to buy Easter eggs and birthday cards. I tried for both of these online….Thorntons had stopped taking orders and Moonpig and Funky Pigeon had both stopped taking orders temporarily too!
In the afternoon we went to the allotment, having had another letter from the council saying a neighbouring home owner was complaining that we were causing rats in her garden!! This is the second time we have told them rats were there when Joe had the allotment. We are not stupid, we only take the regulation food waste down there and that is in closed bins. However, having bought a new compost bin and Rhys leaving his spare one down there for us this week, we set to moving the bins! No rats, as we knew, no sign of ever being rats but we now have some nice soil by her fence to grow runner beans.
We had just finished and I even put bricks at the gap at the base of her fence to ensure they wouldn’t get through there. Well, then she came out shouting at us to get the bricks away etc etc! Silly old lady (probably just a couple of years older than us!) Mal is the wrong person to have a go at! He has a mixture of determination and sarcasm. He suggested it was the communal pile of horse manure that encouraged them and nothing to do with us. He told her we had just spent two hours moving our compost, so she could now complain to her hearts content to the town council. They incidentally are passing on this complaint to us, very “tongue in cheek”. Chris on the neighbouring allotment said she is always complaining about something, is a miserable old woman and that there have been rats there for all the years he can remember! As he said we all go down there for a quiet afternoon and she starts!
In moving the compost heaps, we disturbed two slow worms, let’s hope they didn’t have eggs!
Whilst all this lockdown mayhem has been going on, the decision has been made to move our stroke services to Ashford, no demos nothing, because no one can! That was a very crafty one. Let’s hope we don’t have a stroke because we will be dead by the time we get to Ashford.
