I spotted an under the counter freezer advertised for free on the facewreck marketplace yesterday. We went to pick it up today. It will give me a freezer near enough to the kitchen for everything you want to get hold of quickly when you're cooking, or ice for drinks etc... Lovely

Facewreck...appropriate name for that marketplace. The number of strange people or time wasters I've had contact me for my plant sales on there this year...

Yeah, I hear ya. I don't like to sell anything on there. But I have a love-hate relationship with it. It's great for bargains on the marketplace, so much gardening related stuff on there for sale over here.

A couple of weeks ago we got 20 plastic pallets off the local buy & sell fb group for free [attachment=8435]
Today my neighbour turned up with a brand new ninja 3 piece baking set. Apparently she brought one and 4 arrived. So she’s sharing them.

I thought it was giant Lego
. They'll be great for keeping pots off the ground.

. They’ll be very handy for lots of things, hopefully.

Since I've no idea what they're like "in the flesh" you'll have to make allowances for my ideas
They could be used as barriers/fences/screens, stood on their sides.
Four on their sides would make a square enclosure ? compost, leaves, a planter. Another one on top is a roof!.
Three on their sides make a triangular enclosure - perhaps round a tree to keep beasts away.
A path in a tunnel or across wet ground. Solid enough for a wheelbarrow?
I really, really want some now.
PS one would be great to put a hotbin on.

A leaf or grass holding enclosure is a good idea. Some where for it to go before it gets added to the compost.
Hotbin stand was my very first thought
.And when they are the right way up they have 9 built in plant pots.

All novel ideas, it's like a puzzle. Shame they're not green.

Collected a clearout of out of date food. Its all use by sometime in 2025 - I don't count that as "out of date".
Bonne Maman jams, honey, salsa and pasta sauces, baked beans, other tinned beans, several vegetarian meals in tins and jars, tinned fruit, sachets of rice and couscous, curry paste, gravy granules, chocolate syrup, mushy peas, jar of jalapenos, 3 jars of mint sauce and a litre of Sangria!!
Should be able to make something from that lot!
OUT went a copy of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", I've had the book for years and never read it so, when somebody local was looking for it, I read it yesterday and gave it away today. That's space gained for another little book on the shelf.
