Well, had a massive clear out yesterday - this box room I use as an office was getting wayyyy too cluttered. Result was, a huge pile of paper to be recycled, and a couple of supermarket carrier bags of confidential papers - receipts, bank stuff etc.
Anyway, a few doors down, is this field which is green belt, and is pretty much used as a communal bit of overgrown countryside by this estate. Some neighbours plant trees on there, some just walk dogs, there is a huge mound there which is 30 years of dumped garden waste from the estate - the biggest compost heap ever you could say. It's on there, that I often go to have a private little bonfire of confidential waste (Yes, I do have a shredder, but I sorta wore it out  ).
So armed with an ancient garden hoe to prod the bonfire, I set out, got it lit.......baaaad move.
Suddenly (Should have realised being on top of a hill really) along came a gust of wind, and away went all sorts of receipts  I had no choice but to get the rest burnt as much as possible, then go to retreive them.
Off I slid down the side of the heap, scrabbled around in beds of nettles, stung my nether regions  paddled in mud, scrabbling for pieces of half burnt paper. An elderly neighbour came to check everything was ok, and I just meekly called up from the mud, assorted garden compost and nettles "Yes, it's fine, I do this all the time". No wonder he made a quick exit
Got back looking like Wurzel Gummedge's scruffier cousin, stripped off in the porch and went straight in the shower.
It was meant to be a break from studies, but hey - at least the good news is, I got the stuff burnt  | |
