Scrap Metal

 In the next room Ailz and Damian are talking about scrap metal. Lead, says Damian used to have real value, now, because it's toxic, it has none. This, I suppose,  is good news for churches and other historical buildings with roofs which won't be worth stealing any longer. 

Our gardener, says Ailz, used to collect updiscarded batteries he'd find in fields- big batteries out of tractors and such. He was going to put them on the bonfire- which would have been big fun- but a dealer asked if he had any and gave him several hundred quid for them.

What are you doing? says Ailz.

Writing a post about scrap metal, I say

You've been eavesdropping, she says, Eavesdroppers hear no good about themselves....

You’re been spying and eavesdropping on and reporting about it to public to keep you busy?
