Two pillows lying in the middle of the sidewalk on the way out to Lidl. They were there on Friday and haven’t been moved, although they have been joined by a large orange plastic washbasin. Only commercial establishments in the near vicinity and pretty close to the main road. Much too large to have been dropped unnoticed by someone on their way to the nearby bus shelter. Odd place to dispose of unwanted bedding as well, when there are plenty of skips around where anyone is free to dump their rubbish. And surely nobody sleeping rough - as one could do in this climate - would choose a concrete bed. And in the open at that. One of the tiny mysteries of life. Short story in the offing?
And at the other end of the scale on the same short walk a pretty classy looking late model Porsche with Lebanese licence plates parked by the roadside. Suppose if that’s what you’re driving the shipping cost might well seem trivial.
