TONY AMONG THE RAGWORT

When he was little, B's son Mikey used to call all the Cinnabar Moth caterpillars 'Tony', I think after the tiger in the cereal ads on TV. He's probably long forgotten but it stuck in my mind.

I took this during a quick walk after taking a car load to the recycling centre. It's a bit annoying that we have to book slots in advance, but I got one with only a couple of hours' notice today, and I think I'm just going to have to book several in advance and aim to clear enough stuff to fill the car on each occasion. Tomorrow it's a trip to the charity shop after a visit to the dental hygienist, then more clearing out.
