It’s all in the blend

Approximately two months ago I was afflicted with Bell’s Palsy. I’d never actually heard of it before. Basically something happens to cause damage and/or inflammation to the facial nerve, leading to paralysis on one side of the face.

It’s amazing how much you take your nervous system for granted; or at least, I did.

Intentionally Selfish

Today, and not for the first time, we have found somebody else’s waste outside our front door. We have a driveway. We have a front garden. This is not a case of somebody slinging things over our fence as they run past. They have made a deliberate effort to carry it up our drive and put it by our door. They can see our bins are full to overflowing already, as like so many others we didn’t have a refuse collection last week. They’ve made a decision that they are going to choose to exacerbate our problem rather than deal with their own.
