Thoughts
This is starting to get ridiculous.
I have cleared away the junk mail pile that seems to grow behind the front door. I've done it twice this week in fact. (For context I = Lazy, so this is only done when opening the door starts requiring a feat of superhuman strength. In the event of a zombie attack/natural disaster, I want to be able to get through the door in under ten seconds. Given my random habit of finding new and interesting ways to deadlock the door, that last is more aspiration than achievement.)
I did it last night, cleaning in the vague hope of welcoming
deannawol back to a semi-civilised home. There was nothing on the mat as of ten o'clock this morning when I came downstairs. The post came and was picked up (and then left on the radiator but it was off the floor).
I was emptying the dishwasher when I heard someone at the door. I came out to discover someone had dropped off the paper equivalent of a forest. Seriously. There are twelve leaflets for fast food, two 'plz donate' plastic bags of dubious authenticity, five gym/martial art leaflets and the local free newspaper.
For extra irony, there are two leaflets from City Council about the urgent need to recycle.
...I'm probably not allowed to electrify the letterbox and only warn the postman, am I?
