The corner by our road was covered in graffiti and repainted innumerable times. Finally, we got the children of the neighbourhood to paint a mural for world peace. It hasn’t been touched since.   Jam éan ép sjétm iacuj? Iqen em iéxo jocaluj iacuj!   I . . . end up throwing out a lot of perfectly serviceable things, because I have duplicates, too little space, or my need for them has vanished. If your neighbourhood is friendly, and like-minded, you could set up a cardboard box where everyone can access it, to drop off things that they will never use and pick up things that they might. Be sure you’re all agreed as to what goes into the box - no arguments as to whether three-week old yoghurt is a valuable contribution or not!   When you’re in a mine, use a canary to test for gas.   Put a post-it note labelled <LAST ROLL> on one roll of loo roll. When it gets hung up, transfer the post-it note to the wall above it. That way nobody’s caught short.   The broken-off arm of a marble statue makes a great back scratcher!   Isn’t it embarrassing when you’re caught without toilet paper? Hide a roll somewhere in the loo. Then simply unspool each roll of toilet paper, write the secret location on the inner tube, and wind the toilet paper back on. But on one of the tubes, write only ‘GOTCHA!’   Enormous rocks make great doorstops or paperweights.   Throwing away rusty old garden tools? Shears and rakes make great scissors and combs, if the kids want to play hairdresser!   Holiday budget not stretching to postcards? Nose around trendy restaurants - they sometimes have their own racks of postcards, often by the bar or on the way to the loos. You don’t need to eat there to take a few.
