A little patch of Sheffield needed some dedicated attention so before dawn I turned out alone to finally clear some long standing rubbish.

I was using the opportunity to test exposure therapy relating to my fear of rats and so managed to clear the area but didn't see any furry friends at this spot.

Later when I checked out my usual litter picking hot spot I saw one rat so good to know I can expose myself to rats for my ongoing therapy which may actually be working.

The rubbish was so bad that it was turning into compost so really glad to have given time to get to the bottom of it and I'll now be able to keep on top of it.

I received 3 thank you's from people in real life and many more on Facebook through the Sheffield litter picking site. Some of those people work tirelessly and I'm really grateful to this community of people.

A passer by told me about an area of Sheffield that is particularly bad and I know GG have been trying to support in that area.

Home for breakfast!
