When I went to lie in my hammock recently I nearly fell out as the metal frame had started to rust and one angle had nearly rusted through. I left the metal bits out on the path Tuesday evening and they had been taken away when I came home from work this evening (Friday).
I ordered a new frame where the struts are bamboo. This is supposed to be easy to take up and down so I can bring it in when rain is forecast and during the winter so hopefully it will last and last. It arrived at work today and I got one of the metal bases home. It came in two parcels, the long, thin and very heavy one I haven't opened yet. I am hoping there are more than 2 long bits in it, as half the weight of the parcel will be too heavy for me to get home on the tube, especially the bits between work and the tube, between the tube and the bus station, and between the bus stop and home.
This time of year it is nice to lie out on in on a warm evening. Later in the year when my neighbours' ash tree is in leaf I can have an early afternoon nap in the shade.
Sometimes thre greenest thing is to do next to nothing, and reading and napping in a hammock is a nice way to do that. A nap on the bed with the cats beside me is nice too; except cats aren't very green!
