A few weeks ago, I did a post about old tennis rackets but what about old tennis balls?
What can you do with them once they’ve been punctured or misshapen to such an extent that even the dog rejects them as a play thing?

We’ve had a message from Lindsay, wondering what she can do with an old radiator.
She’s posted it on Freecycle but hasn’t had any interested in it – so has anyone got any ideas about how she can recycle or reuse it?
She hasn’t said whether it’s a cool old one like in the picture or a more modern one but suggestions for either would be appreciated.

It’s getting to that time of the year when we pull all our winter gear out of storage for re-use and the annual glove-pairing gala begins.
Do gloves migrate north for the summer? And do some of them get lost on the journey there or back? That’s really the only explanation I can come up with for how I seem to end up with so many odd gloves, lacking a partner.
Or perhaps my grey and turquoise mitten got distracted when I moved house and is still flying back to the old place – but that was six years ago so it should really get with the program.
Anyway, whatever has happened to them, I now have a few random gloves and mittens. I could start an odd mitten/glove wearing trend – like with odd socks in the early 1990s – but I doubt it will catch on. Any other ideas about what I can do with them?

Last week, I wrote a bit of a rant about how much I hate it when pencil leads are broken (HATE) and asked what I could do with the formerly-useful pencils.
But I didn’t think about the resultant sharpenings.
If the pencil is wood, I guess they can be composted – right?
But what about previously-foam-cup pencils that can’t be composted?
I know it seems a really small thing and almost isn’t worth caring about, but any suggestions?
Ahoy there, old bean, it seems I’m in a bit of a to-do regarding some expired dried pulses.
Half a pack of the old blighters, gone right orff or at least past their use-by doodah, jolly bad show.
Have a sneaking suspicion that there are a whole plentitude of purposes for the little chaps. Any conjectures?
Toodle pip!
