The Flat Earth Society
The Flat Earth Society is real with real people holding such views. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and let's just leave it at that shall we. I must admit that I was rather amused by this graffito which came upon during today's wanderings. Now with the way my brain is wired I can often see things from more than one point of view so I struggle to pick a side in an argument. Whilst I am confident of the correct answer in this particular scenario, would this make me middle earth rather than my usual middle ground if I was unsure one wonders😁 Me and my daft brain eh!!

A moving tale
"Why?" you might well be asking yourself is she showing us a picture of a microwave with a pile of stuff. TYM is moving from his shared house into a furnished flat in another town next month [still renting] and due to the insurance on the property there are a few mobile items with plugs that you have to provide yourself. That in itself really isn't news. He has decided to buy himself a microwave, a toaster and a vacuum cleaner. Although his salary has increased with his recent promotion so have his necessary outgoings so he has to be mindful when spending. Only a couple of weeks ago I found out that there's a local house clearance company who are trying to improve the reputation of the business by not just throwing everything they can't sell into landfill. Instead they offer items within a specified area for free which you can ask for on their FB page. If they select you they then drop it off on your doorstep for free when they're working or travelling en rout

Thank you. They were lovely to see. Arilx
DeleteI too would rather have flowers in my hair than diamonds around my neck!We have also been taking a walk around a local church yard.While admiring the lovely wild flowers,I was heartbroken to see that the council have taken any little windmills and teddys off the childrens graves.A notice was put up,saying that all the toys and little trickets were in a big rubber bin and could the parents collect them from there as they are not allowed.I cannot see what harm they were doing and it must be heart breaking for the parents to see the small toy they had bought for their babies grave just discarded like this.Now it is just barren land with small name plaques.I felt heartbroken for them,xx
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from. Sometimes the graveyards have rules that say you can only leave things that naturally biodegrade. It's a difficult one. Arilx
DeleteThere's a large, historic cemetery near me that has similar restrictions on what items can be placed on graves; however, during the weeks before and after Memorial Day, almost anything is allowed. There is a special section for infants in one corner, where the toys and trinkets remain undisturbed. This is also where a charity group periodically holds funerals for unclaimed stillborns. One thinks well of the current management -- and with relief, since friends and family are resting here.
