That bin again...

I never thought I'd be writing about the rubbish bin across the road again. I'm not sure how much I should really say and this is going to be a bit cryptic but a couple of days ago the maid threw out some dead 'creatures'. Hmm OK. Yesterday there were a number of dead creatures. But amongst them there were a couple that were still alive. One was obviously dying but one was still very active although it looked shocked. The gardener and I went for a (not too close) look and saw that some of them, as well as being diseased, had been damaged (goodness knows why or how) and the bin contained even more. The end result is I did everything I could and came up against a brick wall. The bin men came and went and I saw that the last little one had died this morning beside the bin. The papers say if you see anything like this to report it immediately. I found out that in practice there is one nice little guideline put in place which means they need do nothing at all.
