Businesses re-opening after lockdown
Businesses are beginning to re-open after the lockdown. Here are some changes that businesses may have had to adapt as the new normal.
Not all businesses and services will be doing things exactly the same way, so always check before you visit.
Training - Possession with Toys
Although I am covering my possession with toys in this article, sometimes resolving toy possession can help with possession with other things..
What is toy possession? Toy possession is an extreme compulsion to grab and hold a toy or other object that can get that intense that you become aggressive due to your focus on the toy or object.

Compost Bin.
Some gardens have a compost heap or compost bin.

Hedges, Fences and walls.
Most gardens have either a hedge, fence or a wall surrounding it.
Depending on who owns the hedge, there are several options to secure the area.
The first problem is to establish who owns the hedges, fences or walls surrounding your garden.
It is good to regularly check the perimeter of gardens for damage or entry/exit points that have started appearing..
Hedges are a bit harder to secure as they are a growing plant and will have natural holes and gaps everywhere.
