FOOTNOTES: Occasionally, just occasionally, some of those who rule over us lesser mortals get something right. This was the thought going through my head as I lugged my over-flowing garden waste container up to the front gate to be collected that day. This service, introduced last year by the District Council, enables me to get rid of my grass cuttings etc., without the hassle of heaving leaking and split black sacks into Maud’s boot and then driving to the waste recycling depot. Maud’s boot being on the small size, usually meant two or three trips, especially at the height of summer. Yes the cost is seventy quid for the season, but I understand this can be paid via monthly instalments now, and as far as I am concerned worth every penny. Watching all of this effort was Chaplin, safely ensconced on the picnic table, viewing my efforts with that sneering disdain that cats manage to produce when watching humans working. Having completed all the gardening tasks for the day, I went into the kitchen, pulled the plug to empty the sink and was left staring at the chain, whilst the plug remained stubbornly in place. Quick repairs with a pair of pliers solved that problem and I turned my attention to vacuuming the carpets. Our eight year old cleaner, the pride and joy of a well known manufacturer, stuttered into life, then clunked and banged itself to a standstill, never to start again. At this point I decided to give up for the day. Chaplin obviously agreed and we both settled down. Me with a cup of coffee and a script I had been sent by an optimistic director, and Chaplin to sleep on my lap, his tail lazily slapping against the pages as I turned them. Go safely wherever your life takes you.
