... or drink to recycling !

Had another lazy weekend and made the most of the sun, but didn't do too much in the garden. Caught one more red lily beetle, thought it was going well then spotted a lily plant that I had forgotten about and it was full of holes, so I sprayed the poor thing to death nearly.

So, with not much to report here are some 'eco-ish' things to note:

You can get a pack of three recycled pens made from old car parts, via the Natural Collection site. An application is being made to build 'a 16 home Earthship' at Brighton ~ The homes are made out of car tyres and empty beer cans that heats and cools itself. Also, it recycles its own water, uses solar and wind power, generates no CO2 and disposes of its own water, and they claim has no utility bills. However, they are expected to be on the market for around £400,000 (cough). Finally, for health reasons only Smokehead Islay single-malt scotch. Described as rich, seaweedy, peaty, fruity, with notes of sherry, iodine (told you it was for health reasons), toffee, smoke and sea salt. After all that, I'm not sure whether you eat or drink it.
