Just some thoughts on cheekiness. Now normally I'm an anti-social bugger who likes to shun the company of humanity, but I've begun to realise that some contact with other sentient bipeds can be of use.
Yesterday, while wandering back from the pet shop with a heavy bag of dried cat food under one arm and an even heavier bag of litter under the other, I noticed a couple of hefty exterior doors leaning against a house. Our plot is in need of a door to make it secure so I asked the feller if we could take one and he seemed only too happy to agree. Cheeky, I know, but we've got to take advantage of these opportunities now. It's also good for the old carbon footprint to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as you can manage, so salvaging in this way is ethical too.
Of course, finding something else even heavier to carry was perhaps not the best thing for our arms, but, as the cliched mixed metaphor says, never let a gift horse pass you by.
