Check out ao.com @Fairygirl They do a collect and recycle service for less than our council charges, and will take stuff even if you haven’t bought anything from them. We’ve used them while we were revamping the kitchen. They were very good.
The trouble with being able to easily read upside down is when no entry signs or whatever are written on roads, I have to work out who they're meant for. Causes a bit of a dither.
Yes ... I have that problem too. I used to read my boss's handwriting from the other side of the desk ... he thought I was a witch .... I'm also a right handed Aquarian who can draw with both hands ... according to midwives and health visitors I carry babies with the 'wrong arm' (ie. my right) , and according to footballing ex I kick a ball with the wrong (i.e. right) foot.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
As a literacy tutor, it helped to be able to read from any angle. An essential skill when I did office work too. The only way to find out what's going on. Gemini here. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. My RTBC is that I did a bit of real gardening today - well ,to my standards anyway.
Organised the Ao one @Ergates - many thanks. Considerably cheaper than the council uplift. Saves me a lot of hassle. The girls could have helped me get it in the car, but our local tip is still a bit iffy due to Covid etc, and you need to book a slot, so it wouldn't be very easy. I'd have to hope the chaps there would help me with it too, if the girls couldn't come with me.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Seeing as you're a Pisces I'll tell you something really strange but I don't tell many people because they used to burn folks like me at the stake years ago. Well, apart from being left handed (that was a burning at the stake crime for a start) I can write backwards, mirror writing, just as easily as forward writing. As I say, keep it to yourself or I'm doomed.
I used to do mirror writing at school just to impress my mates. It was about the only thing I did which did impress them
My RTBC is that I've actually got some work done in the garden. Not a particularly nice day, quite cold and a strong wind but the sun was out. Best part was a blackbird in our crab apple tree singing its heart out all the time I was out there.
I was accompanied by robins. The back garden one is standoffish and observes from a several feet away offering vocal encouragement. The front garden one would sit on my shoulder if I kept still long enough. He flies within inches of my ear and frightens the wits out of me before quietly waiting a few inches away, just where I want to dig.
I have a robin like that @B3, flew down right beside me to inspect what I was doing with the agapanthus. Made me jump.
I've started planting up my new bed. Looking forward to buying some new alpines to go in it. Restricted for height because the whirligig is above it and don't want the sheets to decapitate anything!
