It's the council dump and recycling centre, The full name is the Civic Amenity Centre, but we've always called it the tip.

Eveyone calls it the Tip in the UK. It’s where you take rubbish that the council won’t collect. They try to recycle most of it, so the actual rubbish section is pretty small in ours. You have to get things in the right container

Meant to tell you @Ben02 that Aldi are doing some salad bags with a good mix of leaves at the moment if you need any to bulk out your weeds.
One is a mixed leaf salad and the other is a crispy leaf salad - both pretty cheap too.

I can't get to my safe weed supply at the moment so still having to use some shop bought stuff to add to what I can get, so was pleased to see Aldi have better bags back in store.
Thank you Lyn, I never though I’d be so excited about salad!!!:D.It can be a bit difficult sometimes to find some nice weeds. I shall definitely get some this weekend and mix in some dandelions. :)

Yes I am. Now I've started emptying cupboards etc I've realised all the things I have put away to keep safe but not looked at them for years so I'm being as ruthless as possible - not easy for someone as sentimental about things as me.
I've actually been doing that too. The more you hold onto the less room you have for the things you actually use.

When I was signed off work following back surgery and had recovered enough to do things, but not enough to return to work... I ended up having a major sort out at home too. Unfortunately that was 15 years ago. We could do with another decluttering session!

I'm wondering if the Aldi's we have in our town might have some. Usually their products are international plus us. It's worth a look and see.

Well then do the decluttering but leave the surgery out!!

Here’s a quick pix of one of the rookeries that we paddled by. Thousands of birds (mostly gulls) with an army of pelicans standing guard.

Beautiful picture. I’ve always been wary of birds since that old film “The birds” came up accidentally when I was watching my Saturday morning cartoons. I was very young at the time and it’s scarred me for life:D

I think Tesco has stopped selling the Nightingale Farms crispy salad but the Aldi bags are similar

I really get scared and stick a hat on if they are flying over my head...and especially if they are a big bird.

Good morning or evening!
We have rain all week. It’s kinda slowing me down. I’m supposed to be clearing junk from the yard and around tortoise enclosure because the guy is coming Monday to grade the property and help me build the perimeter of the new tort yard.
My husband has been traveling so much and he doesn’t have time to do it because it has to be done in like two days. Plus, he has a pinched nerve and had outpatient surgery to hell relieve it so he can’t do too much hard labor.
I also want to preserve some plants that are in the enclosure. I guess the rain will help me loosen the soil.
Wait until Toretto is bigger. He will do the mowing work for you.:D
