Rubbish skip - a new start (and a moan)
Comments (21)Suzy, Brilliant! Your family sounds as though they have stepped out of a really funny sitcom. Best of luck with the rubbish clearing. Baby hedgehogs, may not climb stairs, but adult ones certainly do. Many years ago, when I was living in an old railwayman's cottage in Surrey, we used to leave the back door open on hot summer nights. There was no access from the back, so it was completely secure. One night I was wakened by my DH. He was standing at the foot of the bed, stark b*****k naked except for a large pair of gauntlet gloves. You can imagine the wild thoughts that ran through my head as I sleepily came to. Was this a new sexual interest that I didn't know about? No. He was simply preparing to retrieve a large hedgehog from beside the bed. The hedgehog had climbed two flights of steep narrow stairs, and was happily snuffling around our bedroom. He was repatriated to the garden, but often used to come in after that. We left him alone when we realised that he could climb down the stairs just as easily as he could climb up them. I often lay in bed listening to him climbing down the stairs. Shuffle shuffle bonk! shuffle shuffle bonk! Daisy...See MoreMy new herald of spring - but not a rose (yikes)
Comments (34)$3.75 a gallon!!!! I s'pose it is just as well, living in such a big place but we cough up approx $18 a gallon here....in fact, it is so expensive, we only buy it in litres. Many of us have been trying out cooking oil experiments and there has been an outbreak of fuel stealing from farms, even though the pink gasoline is illegal for use in road vehicles. Propane and butane are also through the roof so we have been to recycling workshops to make our own rocket stoves (which will burn tiny amounts of fuel, unseasoned wood and even dry weeds). Knitting has soared in popularity as a nation attempts to keep warm the old fashioned way (extra cardies and woollies). Anyway, as a cyclist, I have been a bit immune to petrol costs (although we do have an old Ford pick-up for work, we never use it about town). Phoebe, you sound up on stuff like microbes and all - have you ever tried making your own mycchorhizae? Look up Sunseed, a desert garden and alternative tech centre in Spain for a recipe - I am in my second year of catch pots and mycchorhizal capture - truly fascinating stuff.Although at this point, I have to deviate from some of the wackier proposals of the biodynamic crew with their secret preparations involving animal horns dug at midnight under a full moon when Saturn is in the ascendant blah blah....See Morenew big list as of 10-30-12:05
