In my quest to get better a reducing, reusing and recycling, I came across this quote by the environmentalist Edwin Datschefski:

We're not running out of resources - we are just turning them into rubbish we can't use again.

 
Its not that long ago that everyone was able to "make do and mend", but we seem to be losing those skills all time these days.  I ask myself, what will happen when there is no one skilled left?

This is what my SO keeps singing to me because he thinks we should get a cat even though I am allergic. (I am obviously not good enough company any more!!!!)

He keeps singing this to the tune of "Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow" in a really sad voice - I never know whether to laugh or to cry!

Got to had it to him though, he has now made up THREE full verses to go with it too!

Today I have spent a lovely day at my local cemetary!

Not quite as bad as it sounds actually, as the cemetary is a glorious oasis of calm in the middle of the city and actually hasn't been open to burials for many many years.

I actually was on a guided walk looking at the nature of the cemetary, which incidentally appears to have declined since the council actually started looking after the site again rather than leaving it to decay. However, I saw a few woodpeckers, and a large family of long tailed tits.

I must admit though, that there is something really fascinating about the victorian gothic memorials to the long gone with the angels standing guard.
