What little things have you done

Not climate change as such, but I picked up some dog shit which some dickhead had left on the path near my front door. It's on a primary route to two schools, so hopefully a less shit-filled path makes walking to school more enticing than getting taxi-ed.

I glowered at the driver of a parked car the other day, whose engine was still running. They then turned it off. The two incidents may not be related, but I can nonetheless claim the moral high ground.

Each of our 15 or so desks has its own overhead lights. Working nights, one of the first things I do is go round switching all those lights off. It could also help with sleeping.

Tumble dryers are quite heavy and difficult to peg on a washing line.

Tumble dryers are easier to be honest - shove everything in and its dry in no time.

In autumn I'm going to Dublin to hang out with my parents (who are there for some work stuff) and I will take the rail + ferry route. I wish rail was more affordable/accessible for trips from UK to Europe.

A crowded lift has to be one of the better places or a library.

Best place to follow through really. Plenty of garms and toiletries to shoplift to help you out and no guard will touch you

I wait until there's an old dear bending over to pick something up from the shelf in Lidl, not by choice but it's usually near the man cave section, then I'll let one rip and look at them in disgust.
