Apples on a pear tree in January?

I was out walking with Bertram the other day when I cam across this: apples on a pear tree in the middle of January.


I thought it would be a great idea for the community copse. I found three bruised apples in Mr Smith's rubbish bin this morning so I brought them home with me and poked each one onto a branch of an old hawthorn bush near where I live.

I looked out of the window of my workshop a few times and saw lots of birds pecking away at them. Withing half an hour they had all gone.

I'm going to check Mr Smith's bin again next week just in case. Please don't tell him!

Yolanda is Cross

Yolanda was out walking by the river and she came across this. She was not amused as you can imagine.

Apart from the senseless pollution of the environment, she was appalled by the fact that most of what she saw there could have been taken home and recycled with virtually no effort.

Yolanda was keen to take some of this stuff to the Recycling Bank, but you know, cats don't like to get their paws dirty.

Fortunately dogs are not so precious about getting dirty or wet or both. So I went in a fished out the goodies and Yolanda took it all off to be recycled.

Hello Cyber Surfers

Hi there! I'm Gizmo. Yeheee! I've got a blog.

You've probably heard of 'Reduce, reuse, recycle.' Well that's what I do. I like to give rubbish a reprieve. I like to jollify junk. That is, I try to do something useful with it.

I thought this blog would be a good way of sharing my ideas with you, telling you about cool stuff I've found on the Net and, I hope, learn about cool stuff from the peeps out there.

See ya
