In an effort to rehome more hard rubbish, I decided to put my words where people’s crap was. Enter ‘Rubbish Ads’: one-off stories for humanity’s abandoned objects, penned by me + posted on Gumtree.

Since starting this sidequest, I’ve up-cycled 30+ objects and somehow got asked out - it was weird. Gary aside, it’s been a nice reminder that even in our disposable world, anything left behind be homed again.
