Last week at work, i and my colleague Jim decided we needed to have a look at the works compost heaps, and use our lovely big compost screw to mix the contents a bit. It acts like a cork screw, you drill it down into the heap, and use all your strength to pull it, and the "cork" of compost out with it.
Our compost isnt really doing as well as regular compost because it consists of 99% teabags, fruit and the curious biodegradable corn bags that people use to carry it down to the heaps. On advice from big brother, Compost John, I got a bag of shredded paper from the office, and have mixed it in as best I can with the contents of heap 1 that was started about a year ago.
You can see the compost screw at work here, and also my colleage Jim who helped to heave the contents of heap 2 on top of heap 1. It was hard work and very smelly!
Last Sunday was a nice early spring day, so Douglas and I decided to go up to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, as I had never been. Sadly I really wasnt impressed.. there are not a lot of sculptures in the grounds, and they were all modern - not to my taste apart from this one, which was quite interesting. Oh.. there was one that looked a bit like a rusty iron backbone I quite liked too. Its featured on the parks home page.
The gallery was the most interesting. It featured the work of Rob Ryan, who is an artist who designs the most beautiful paper cut out pictures Ive ever seen! If we had had £300 spare.. just floating around feeling bored, we would have purchased one of his prints, but as we dont happen to have that amount of money to spend on a peice of art, we looked at his website instead! (Much cheaper, although you cant really hang it on your wall and enjoy it lol)
