Not at all a NIMBY. It sounds like a great suggestion, and is really something they should already be doing. You might want to consider either sending it to your local councillor as well, or at least sending them a copy, as if they push the idea it will tend to get things happening much quicker. It's the sort of thing that should be fairly easy for them to implement and is also likely to be popular without upsetting anyone, so they might be happy to jump on board to push the idea forward. I'd suggest an opt-in email list that people could sign up to, which could be advertised to pet owners with the registration renewal notices.
A trio of tacos, please. And some sort of fancy cocktail, with a little umbrella in it.
Yeah, I had 5 out of 8 candidates that I wanted last. I just want the trumpets even more last.
I have now done Democracy. There really needs to be a way to put the Arse Trumpets lower than last place.
Hmm, contents insurance is due and the premium is up 20%. Ran it through their online calculator for the same details and it's only up 10%. Absolutely shameless.
Annoyingly my policy expires 4 days before my planned moving date.
Thanks.
I'd love to fix up the wood frame a bit too, but that is a project for another time.
I really love the fabric. I bought the roll at a discount fabric place many years (ok, decades) ago, initially intending to cover another couch which I ended up not doing for various reasons. I bought this set with the intention of recovering it, but kept being indecisive about whether I wanted to spend the money on new foam, wasn't sure how to deal with the springs etc. etc. I'm glad I fiinally got myself into gear to actually do it now.
Reasonable request. Here you go.
I have finally finished my sofa. I finished the cushions a while ago (although it took a long time, all those long edges take forever to sew) and today did the webbing to replace the springs. It took quite a long time and used a lot of staples. Sitting on the couch properly instead of sunken in with the old squashed cushions and stretched springs should be good for my back.
I expected Miss Meow to get freaked out by the noise of the staple gun but it didn't seem to bother her. She even came over and walked all over the webbing midway. Now that it is finished she has indulged in some zoomies, attacked the end of a roll of tape I haven't yet put away, and is now holding on to a small piece of tape she just captured with a dramatic pounce. Who would have thought she was into upholstery?
Packing continues today. I have "packed" my strawberries into new tubs, all divided up, topped up with soil and a new layer of mulch on top.
I've got 5 or 6 more big rectangular tubs (the old recycling tubs, for those who remember the pre-wheelie days) and a bunch of pots to put other things into. It's the perfect time of year to be moving plants, which is why I chose now to move. I just need to find somewhere to move to...
TIL I had the same cot style as Prince Phillip when I was a baby. I'm practically royalty ๐คฃ
I will very shortly be undertaking the exciting task of filling the van with petrol for the first time. Like the blinkers the fuel cap is on the opposite side of the car than I am used to. I have to break 19 years of habit and pull up to a different fuel pump.
