"How did you spend your Paddy's Day"?

Hoovering my garden, no joke.

Three neighbours have had a #DeepRetrofit done over the last few years and every time, it snows styrofoam.

This time was the worst. It's EVERYWHERE: thousands of pieces. The soil of the small wildflower meadow we've spent ages trying to nurture is now contaminated for at least 500 years, although we actually don't know how long it takes polystyrene to degrade – it could be forever.

There are some county councils that won't let you use readily available natural materials like hemp etc. because they insist that everything be NSAI-certified.

In this case, it's just a matter of the "free market" using whatever's cheapest and most profitable.

I'm so unbelievably tired.
