Skip diving super star

Hello. Plenty to do today. Bailey poodle walk first thing. Then Crafty Club, it was very busy, full house, new members. This afternoon I went round the corner and had a coffee with my neighbours who have recently lost their elderly cat. They had a sort out and as they don't plan on getting another fur baby, they donated their cat paraphernalia to our cat rescue. There was wet and dry food, litter, carriers, litter box, scratching posts, and blankets and towels. I had to take my car round there to pick it up.

Opposite their house is some building work going on at a big house which has recently been sold. I could see that things were being thrown in the skip on the front drive. Had to go and have a look. This is what I rescued. 

A sink which will make a quirky planter for my garden. I will have to make a wooden stand for it because the bottom is not flat. 

A wooden plate and cup stand which has been painted in the shabby chic style. It looks a bit of a mess and is a bit wonky, so with some repairs and a coat of paint I will upcycle it into something else.

Three shelves, also shabby chic. These are really solid, very heavy wood, my friend thinks they are oak. It weighs a ton, he had to carry it from the car for me. There must be some fabulous pieces of wood underneath that scabby paint. It will stay in the garage awaiting my attention, until I get an idea for it.

A piece of new carpet 4 ft x 4.5 ft. Good for the summer house. Colour not very obvious on the photo, it's green.

Useful pieces of clean wood. Some flat pieces which are laminated on one side. You can't have too much useful wood.

So, a very satisfying day, stuff rescued from landfill, and a donation for our rescue cats. People are kind.

Just to remind you that it's the last day of the month on Saturday, the last few days for the Walking Group to up their miles. Sunday the 1st will be check in day, and I am getting very excited that such a lot of you are sticking with the challenge. I had a few days off last week after my long walk, but I am back on the three miles a day again.

Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.
