It's nice to be able to do my part time job whenever I feel like it, and wherever I want to do it. This afternoon there was sunshine. I thought about going back to Tesco and tackling the mess I saw last week behind the store. Then I decided not to go there. It's a Saturday, and last week it was super busy. I didn't want to get snarled up in traffic. There was also a possibility that Scunthorpe United might be playing at home, which would create more chaos on the roads around the football ground.
Instead, I drove for ten minutes to Flixborough Industrial Estate. I remembered Sixth Avenue was particularly messy with lots of litter on the grass verges. And so I enjoyed an hour or so on a very quiet road. The only vehicle I saw was a driving school car which went round the block several times.
My bag was filling up quite quickly. I turfed the rubbish out of the grass and onto the road for a photo.
A nitrous oxide cannister, a strap discarded by a lorry driver, a pair of trainers, and several bottles of pee.
I found one trainer first and wondered where the other one was. I searched through the grass and weeds, and then saw the second one a few yards away. It's strange how they have not both deteriorated at the same rate.
My red bag was full, and I didn't want to start another one, so I dumped the excess into a grey wheelie bin close by. There are three bags plus some glass in my collection now.
I have made a stir fry for dinner tonight. Quorn chunks, chopped broccoli and potato, and chopped brussels sprouts, in Teriyaki sauce. It's chuffin loverly. Plenty left for tomorrow.
Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip. ilona
