That's horrible to see. Good on you for stepping in, but yeah, people can be shite. 

I nearly mashed a young cyclist once, I had just dropped off my son at his montessori and was driving around the compound to the exit, a Ukrainian refugee girl comes barrelling around a sharp corner and down a hill... there's about 40 families housed in a disused maternity hospital on the same site... no brakes on the donated bike she's got... I managed to swerve off the single lane, one-way road so she hit the side of the car at a sloping angle and slide along it instead of straight into the bonnet at 90°, god knows how it would have ended up otherwise. I was only going about 8kph and had stopped before she impacted, but still.

Got out and picked her up, rubbed her grazed knee for a bit, tried my best to fix the f*cked up brakes on her bike. Poor thing was in bits at first but had put a brave face on it by the end. Not much point to this story other than only donate toys to refugees that are in good working order, I suppose.

 

Anyway, today I'm pulling all the bindweed out of my folks compost bins, fruit patch and apple trees, and we'll take it from there.

 

 

Have a good day everyone.

Those bread trays are a nuisance. There are a few in the weeds at my sub-allotment. You can't actually store anything in them and the grid is perfect for nettles to grow through and knit them to the ground. You could tether a satellite to the one I tried pulling up yesterday.

Morning all.

Due to be a sunny Sunday, we may even see 20c.

 

I'd rather be out kayaking with the girls to be honest, but I'm helping my mate log up some Ash we felled at the paddock with his electric splitter. He thinks it's great not having to hand split but being more used to a posch processor on a tractor it'll be a painfully frustrating day for me! At least we'll go for a breakfast first.

 

Have a good one folks.
