One of my favourite books is, 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time', by Mark Haddon that I bought from a charity shop. My village has recently had its own ahem incident in the night time ....
One of my friends has had a new settee. Obviously, she had to get rid of her old one so she rang the local council who pick up unwanted items for a fee of £10.
They will pick bulky items up if they are left outside. I laughed and said I bet they will disappear before they get picked up as things go "missing". Someone will always come along and take it. Sure enough the settee disappeared leaving just the armchair. My friend didn’t mind as long as someone could make use of it.
A few days later, the son of a mutual friend was walking the family dog through the local wood when he came across my friend's settee! Youngsters tend to gather in a certain part of the wood and we think they wanted the settee to make their meeting place more comfy! It's very heavy so not sure
how they got it up there, unless they used a van.
We just had to go and see it for ourselves. I think it totally confused my friend's dog as normally he'd be sat on the settee in the house!
Someone had penned a message on the settee arm, "having this den comes with responsibility to clean it". I agree, just because you have a settee in the wood you should still have standards!
I must admit the settee comes in handy. It's very warm in the wood so it's good to take a pitstop before you carry on with your journey!

I'll be confused too like the dog if I see that there :D That settee will give comfort for sure and whatever purpose :D
It was funny .....
Just like in our place, for sure those things will gone missing because someone already took it
I don’t think the settee will last long when it rains.
