Just back from a walk around the block. Didn't meet a soul, but someone had chalked a hopscotch game with many inventive stages along most of the route. Lights on curtains open, there were certainly more OMGs than WOWs.
That being said, I can't imagine a circumstance under which I'd utter WOW. Even if the TV cameras were waiting for my reaction to my garden makeover. However, off camera, I'm not quite sure what I'd say as I delivered retribution to the simpering perpetrators despite their offer of something fizzy to celebrate their achievement.
A local person is playing an elaborate game of hide the dog poo bag. With lockdown now they seem to be walking their dog a lot more and the bags are piling up everywhere. My oldest boy has taken a shine to throwing stones down the rain water grates on the road to hear the splosh as it hits the water. He thinks this is the height of fun at the moment. We've quickly realised that the dog poo bag hider is now shoving the bags down into the grates to speed along the rate of pollution and every one has several floating in there. No more of that game
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I hope that person is extremely proud of themselves @wild edges
WTF is wrong with these people? If they don't want to clear up the mess, don't have a bl**dy dog to start with. An email to your council notifying them would be a good idea though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A friend who plays golf near Bristol has shown me their club post about dog walkers. As the course is closed they are allowing people to go and walk their dogs on it as there's space for social distancing. However, they may have to close it because whilst some people do bag their poo, many don't and many also leave the bagged poo behind for someone else to collect and dispose of. Just too stupid for words.
Been stupid myself today. Put the lovely fruity spicy hot cross buns in teh sun in the living room to finish proving and didn't spot Bonzo Labrador sneak in behind. There are only 2 left! He's eaten the rest raw. That'll be interesting later on!

Time for a petition for companies to be forced to remove the word 'biodegradable' from the dog poo bag packaging? And 'flushable' from wetwipes while we're at it.

Just when I think I'm on top of the vine weevils my sedum Atlantis falls to bits. One positive though is that the destoyed rootball revealed a plastic mesh root noose that must have been the original nursery plug trainer. Thanks Wyevale Luckily the cutting of it that the dog took last summer is showing now signs of trouble.

I continue to find teabag straight jackets around plants that have failed to thrive. I suppose it's a slight comfort to know it wasn't entirely my fault. They've started to hide them deep in pots so you can't have a little scratch to check before you buy Growing from seed seems to be the only way to avoid this abomination😠
Hottest day of the year so far, people are out enjoying their gardens, windows open in the houses to air them out, washing out on the line, wouldn't that be a great time to start burning rubbish in your garden? I can put up with barbeques and the odd bit of wood smoke but why burn a chimnea full of damp bits of your old painted fence for hours and then chuck plastic on and head off to bed? There's a respiratory virus pandemic happening at the moment so it's not like we all need an excuse to be coughing.
