GOOD NEWS

This afternoon I went to check if the Council had removed my bags, picture from yesterday. And they had, so I set to work to clean up the area. 
This is the mess that the birds make when they rip open the bags looking for food. I assume birds, but it could easily be rats or mice, or possibly squirrels. The Council does not tidy an area when they collect bags, so I suppose I will do it. 
After an hour of backbreaking work, clipping, chopping, and scooping up the debris with a spade, I am pleased with the result. 
Now I can deposit my bags in a tidy manner with plenty of space to add more. I have just been given twenty fresh clean red bags, so watch this space. 
Pleased to say that the two overflowing litter bins I posted about yesterday have been emptied. So it looks like a Tuesday is a regular collection day. 

GOOD NEWS from Dominic at 20 21 Arts Centre.

  3. Amazing cleanup, I know you don't do it for gratitude but from a social conscience, so may I say very well done Ilona. I must say I really respect your way of life and am sorry that some "trollers" feel they have to comment negatively. Keep up the good work. Also congratulations on your art work and in being picked for the show. Well done all round. Hugs from Ro (n.w.Italy). xx
