Another post written considerably after the fact but backdated…

On Bank Holiday Monday, the chaps and I left our normal existence in front of computers in favour of a walk in Hawksworth Wood.

Hawksworth Wood is just off Kirkstall Road/New Road Side (A65) and runs the length of Hawksworth Road, and well, it’s pretty cool considering it’s still in the middle of the city.

While in the wood, we larked, as we tend to do, and I met some doggies. Gianni and John increased the entropy of the wood and Kev hated the prettiness. I, meanwhile, exposed my arse when John tried to take my photo thus lessening the prettiness that Kev had to hate.

Afterwards, we went to have some lunch at La Cafeteria in Hyde Park then to the Fenton where the guys played pool and Gianni repeatedly missed his train.

A good day.

Teenage boy, protesting an earlier accusation: I’m not sexist!

Teenage girl: Yes, you are. All men are sexist.

Recycle This has spawned a side project - Compost This.

It answers those difficult composting dilemmas like whether you can compost eggs shells (yes, breaking them up first though help), or wee (yes, just don’t over-wet the pile), or bricks (not so much).

John coded the system it uses and I created the content.

It’s got over a hundred entries in the database so far - all the usual stuff - but we’ll add more as time goes one, particularly more specific plants and whatnot in the garden waste category.
