Threatening letter.

Good evening. 
First job this morning was to record a video. Another letter has arrived from the TV licensing people. Each one becomes more threatening than the last one. They change the wording to give the impression that time is running out, and I have to contact them, or they will send a bogey man to my door. 
In big red letters they say, 'We are giving you a 10 day window to get correctly licensed'. But I am correctly licensed, ie, no licence needed, I have told them that many times. They say I only have until the 4th of March to act, before this window closes. If I do not get in touch my case will be escalated to the enforcement team, who will schedule a visit. Whooopeeee, can't wait. 
After lunch the weather was fine enough to go out litter picking. There is a section of road that I walk along when I am coming back from town. I see that the grass verges are always littered with plastic and glass bottles, and drinks cans. I wonder who is dumping their vodka bottles. A secret drinker perhaps. 
It's only a short stretch of road but looks a complete mess. It's also busy so a lot of traffic goes past, cars, vans, and lorries. 

I did my best and filled two bags, then it started raining. There is plenty more to pick up here so I will come back another day. This litter bin is on a road junction on a roundabout. The Council will come along and pick these up. Beyond the fence is a deep pond. People take their dogs to walk around it. I notice that there is a massive amount of rubbish where cars have parked in the layby, and people have chucked a lot of fly tipping over the fence. I shall investigate that. 

On the way home I stopped at the pink volunteer cabinet and picked up a good handful of clean new red bags. I think I am going to be needing them. 
Thanks for popping in. Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.   ilona
