the clear out...

Ive got a skip on my front lawn...i wanted to get large one... but mike said 'No..a small one will do..We haven't got that much to put in it,' i am removing the vine that has crept over the rear of the house obstructing the daylight from entering the kitchen, on bright sunny days i quite like the dappled effect it has, and being a person who's not a fan of artificial lighting...i'd become quite used to minimal vision!..So the vine has gone, along with it the huge harvest spiders that have not only set up home, but had created a commune, a village their very own city of spider activity! i made sure that as i reached up to tug the stubborn, tangled tenticals that had strangulated the guttering my mouth was firmly shut tight, there was no way that i was going to digest one of those beasts...

i found that once the vine had been removed..the mallow that had been planted as a small shrub had grown also to vast dimensions and was also guilty of robbing me of the glorious light that would light my kitchen like a halo of goodness..so i found the saw that had been hiding in its rusty corner and chopped it down to the nub...i didnt stop there ..bushes, jasmin, old trellis, seeded plants were being thrown with late summer madness into the skip...whilst im doing this mike is emptying the two garages of our precious junk that we have accumilated over the past five years...the skip is over flowing...

"We should have got a bigger one," mike said......

i didnt respond :)

my kitchen is beaming with light....
