Grounds for Grounds

Just a short post tonight; the birds have been very busy on the works feeders today, and I noticed a long tailed tit gathering nesting material from the roof of an ugly little electrically related shed on our site.

It's been pretty mild today after a frosty start, but there haven't been any insects at work, at work. Lots of rabbits out to play however, some rather frisky looking ones at that.

Happy to report we have new environmental initiative on campus. The canteens are giving away their used coffee grounds to gardeners as fertiliser. Apparently at our business this would save 6.7 tons of landfill a year, and lock away greenhouse gases.

I grabbed a bag for my stepfather. Think I'll get some for the Polish lady next door who tends to a veritable jungle!

Meet my New Runabout

It may not be mine of course...it might be the pleasure bike of Bradley Wiggins or Laura Trott...

It's a strange thing, that every so often in this town you come across bicycles like this; I remember one outside the library that had a large desktop fan sat on a forward rack, and various bits of junk on the rear. Other bikes are used by the young local scrap collectors, who put their various fridges and other white goods on improvised trailers at the back, before removing the metal and fly tipping the carcass into a field.

None of these rivals the picture I saw today of a chap overseas cycling along with two sheep hanging onto him, however...
