Outside the front door is a skip.
Next door, they have taken down an old brick outhouse and are building a conservatory.
The skip is only full of rubble.
Every single person who walks past can't help but take a look in though
UPDATE
By popular demand...
Personally I have no idea why Sarah, Kanani or anyone else would be desperate to see a photo of a skip with rubble, but I try to accommodate...
.
an attractive nuisance is what we euphemistically called something like that on government speak! we are such an inquisitive species, sugar! ;)

Do you mean a boat or a trash holder? You people confuse me with your crazy English words. (Because a boat would look cute with flowers and plants in it.)
ReplyDeleteI found my lodger in a skip.
ReplyDeleteWhen I googled a skip, I came up with ads for what we call dumpsters. If it were open on top, I might take a look; if it had a lid, I'd pass.
ReplyDeleteI love skips, I've even been known to jump inside and root about. I could do with some rubble too, I want to do a bit of hard landscaping in the garden.
ReplyDeletenow i wanna take a look inside.
ReplyDeletephotos?!
Skips.
ReplyDelete(vb: joyful movement brought on by sight of a new skip in the neighbourhood)
Pictures please?
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been elusive as of late. I've started a new job back in the healthcare industry as a rep! Gahh.....
It's human nature.
ReplyDeleteWho can deny the appeal of a FREE broken brick ?
Used to live in a squat, entirely furnished from the local skip. It's cheaper than IKEA, better quality too, and gives an authentic bohemian look that I find très chic.
Savannah - an attractive nuisance? Is that like a pretty woman who keeps kicking the bins over?
ReplyDeleteAnna - I can't really imagine why someone might dump a whole pile of rubble into a boat outside their house. Mind you, I would definitely have taken pics of that :)
Daphne - was this before or after s/he became your lodger?
Debra - no lids on these things
Eryl - if you want to sneak down here tonight to load up your car, I can make you a coffee.
Sarah - photos? Even shot in moody black and white, I'mnot going to be able to make them look romantic
Conan - ah, I see what you've done there - double meanings - very clever
Kanani - more demands for photos? We'll see - I might just do an update yet...
Meanwhile what's this about a healthcare industry rep? Does this mean you flog viagra, but without spamming everyone by email first?
Ché - suddenly the skip does look romantic...
NOW I know what a skip is: it's similar to a construction dumpster, except a dumpster is usually much larger.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, though, why anyone would want to look through either of them.
as if photos are all about romance.
ReplyDeleteseriously, i wanted to know what a skip was.
Charlie - everything's bigger in the States I hear...
ReplyDeleteSarah - ah well, now you know. Did you notice the vignette I put on for you?
Now I know what a skip is. Thanks for the visual aid, Kim.
