You will know, if you have been following this blog, that we have all be really knocked sideways by this Flu, that is travelling throughout the UK, or so it seems to us! So l have not had a lot of choices on the images l have been able to take. BUT today, even though l still feel grotty, l had to shop! I thought how on earth l am l going to achieve the image for dispose? Tony and l talked about the word, in the pocket rocket, on way to Tesco's. Suddenly we had to hurry, we had forgotten that it was Sunday and the supermarkets close at 4pm, instead of being the usual 24hour culture and it was now 3.15!.....oops!.. As we were about to go into the shop. l noiced a huge container with two large holes in the front. These are by the entrance now, so people can put their used or now longer required plastic and carrier bags in...for other shoppers to use! Neat idea l think. The carrier bags in the "Dispose" image were tucked in behind the container because the container it self was full and over flowing. So here is my image for dispose.
