Weird neighbour

That may have gone over the heads of some of our members Shiney

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

Worrying.

Erm, actually, I've been know to make little circles of rocks around the dog poo left outside my front gate. This not (just) because I'm weird but to save me and every passer-by from putting their foot right on it as we rush frantically through our busy lives. Of course, I could just clean it up and put it in the bin, but I wouldn't be making a point then, would I?

Haven't seen any there for quite a while so maybe it's worked.

 

My Mum has been known to take a more direct approach. She once ran up to a smartly dressed woman who had just allowed her yappy little poodle to carp in our front garden and announced that if she ever found poodle poo poo on her lawn again she would follow the pair of them home and post the offending substance through the letter box. Needless to say, she had no further problems.

 

I've heard of somebody in another (local) village who made 'warning dog poo' flags (kiddie sandcastle size) and stuck then in the offending deposits left on village paths.

P.S. Mrs Scrungee has often been known to pull a carrier bag out of her pocket (carried for when we dog walk) and provide it to a dog's owner that's pretended to have no means of clearing up the mess - and for some unknown reason they get really angry rather than being grateful.

 

Love that one Scrunge If you knew the culprits you could add "Left by........"

 

'This steaming, aromatic pile was kindly donated to the village by Fifi the poodle who lives with Mrs Bloggs at 48, Church Road ...'

 

Hmm. I'm back from holiday and we're talking about poo again.

 

Welcome back Clare Same Poo, different day.

Did you have a good time & did you take any naughty pictures?

 

Hello Zig. Yes, I had an absolutely brilliant time but no naughty pics, I'm afraid. Although I have just posted some nice, clean plant related ones. This time we decided to have a lazy holiday so we went for an all inclusive deal. This seemed completely wrong and sinful for the first five minutes but after the third gin and tonic it made perfect sense. After the first day I was starting to wonder when the next meal would arrive if I went more than half an hour before filling my face. I'm just having a last choccy bic for old time's sake and then it's dry ryvitas for the next eight weeks.

Nice to catch up with GC again.

 

Fair play, Willow & I checked into The Lazy Cow on the way back from Shineyland. Know what you mean

 

The neighbours are going to think I'm proper weird now.

I decided to mow the front lawn today when I got in. Its got a big patch of clover infesting it. I like clover, but it is a bit long.

I set the mower up, looked at the clover, and saw a bumblebee happily grafting away. Then I saw another one. I decided I didn't have the heart to steal their dinner, so I mowed round the clover instead.

 

Hey Clueless....you sound as weird as me
