Do I shit In The Woods?



I’m pricing up skips ( dumpsters to you Americans) 
The smallest is 75£ which I think is an Ok price.
I need to ask Trefor if I can park it in his drive for when the Bathroom guy comes on Tuesday but that may not be a wise move . Unattended skips tend to be filled by all and sundry especially when they are located somewhere you can’t keep an eye on them.
I do enough for charity me thinks.


The one question I’ve not asked Bathroom Man yet, is how long am I going to be without a toilet.
Now unlike most dwellings nowadays I have only one functioning toilet. Now if this was the 1970s this would be a perfectly reasonable state of affairs but in the glorious 2020s , there is an expectation on many levels which expects that one will have at least one en suite in your property.
I haven’t ……
So I threw the quandary  out to my fellow night workers
“Shit in a bucket” Steve suggested
“ And how does someone my size even sit on a bucket let alone shit in one ?” I said 
You could hover ?” Diane offered
I looked sceptical 
“ With my hips?”
“True” she agreed without laughing.
“ Borrow a commode from work? “ she added
“ I couldn’t get the legs in the car” I told her ( I had already measured them)

We bandied around various ideas from knocking on neighbours’ doors to squatting in my old field.
Suffice to say, I am very much a product of my time and the thought of not having a good sit down poo fills me with dread. 
I’ve even priced up a “ robust” camping toilet on Amazon. Which is a doable 28£ ! ( with toilet paper hanger) or the cheaper kamper Khazi which surprisingly doesn’t seem to have a weight limit

And one of the things on my bucket list is to go camping 

I must be mad

Admission

Perhaps I am just a heartless guy, but I must admit that I do not care a fig about the bitter legal endgame in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's unlovely marriage. They are not even British citizens - they are Americans. Despite that, in British print media and in national TV news channels we have been asked to follow every twist and turn as their unsuccessful marriage suffers an ugly disintegration in a court of law.

Marriages end every day so why on earth should we be remotely interested in the "he said"/"she said" epilogue to Depp and Heard's troubled life together? It is just not worth thinking about 

There are many important newsworthy matters that get very little attention - such as the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the parts played by Saudi Arabia and The West in that forgotten country's decimation. Why should that matter less than the fine details of a drunken row in Depp and Heard's marital bed chamber?

Those who pick "The News" wrongly imagine that little people like us are obsessed with celebrities and what they get up to. However, I am sure that I am by no means the only objector to all this celebrity nonsense masquerading as proper news. We just don't care.

If Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were dropped  in The Gobi Desert with a tent and some basic supplies,  I would be happy because then I wouldn't have to hear another goddamn thing about who said what and who did what. So boring. Besides, it is all so startlingly obvious that their court room drama - played out in front of millions - is all about the money. That's all.
