Easter Bunny
A very peculiar day again, I think they are the only days around here.
I went out early because I had to post a letter and I noticed the road is full of everyone's black wheelie bins. The wheelie bins were collected on Thursday and the next week collection was supposed to be three weeks time., because they have now changed to 3 weekly collections for the black wheelie.
And the council site has been broken the last couple of weeks or so with no one being able to access their address to find out when our new wheelie days were and the rest of the recycle days were... we were all told our addresses did not exist. It even made the newspapers!!!
Anyway, I check Sunday evening and there was a new calendar up, but no black wheelie collection for another three weeks.
So I leave the house to post a letter this morning and I'm faced with a sea of black wheelie bins...
I looked down the two roads that radiate from this one, and they have their black wheelie bins out.
I go and knock on our neighbours house and he tells me he does not know why but his wife said the black wheelie bin has to go out today, Monday, and it will be collected but the council site say it is three weeks from now, nothing makes sense, he said, I haven't a clue, just put it out he said....
So I have an empty black wheelie bin from Thursday, which I have put no rubbish in yet and I have to fill that wheelie bin before I go out and I am cursing because I am saying to myself, there's no way this will be collected today.
Oh, just leave it. I said to myself, then I said I would be cursing if everyone else's is collected and I didn't get some rubbish out. I had a whole pile of polystyrene which I have never had room for for some time in the wheelie.. and I have two weeks collection in the pink sack of adult pads, which no one collected last week or the week before. That can also legally go into the black wheelie, so I filled the black wheelie within seconds.....
But when I drove out of this road, the only black wheelies were in the next two roads but none after that.
I am muttering to myself that my road has gone bananas and black wheelies are not going to be collected. But in one of our bungalows on this road is a council worker.
Does she have inside information?
I go down to the docks after I have posted my letter and have a cup of tea and take a photo for my creative today.
Then I come back make a cup of tea have a quick nap, open my eyes and MAGIC.... my black wheelie bin is emptied along with everyone else's.
So I think the new rubbish calendar will be to keep an eye on my Council worker neighbour and see what she has out for that day...
My creative, a chocolate Easter bunny on my steering wheel and I am looking out on the industrial landscape over the river. Who said it had to make sense? Now I am in a car park which is empty and two cars come in and park along side either side of me, why? Why cannot they give me my privacy?
Both car drivers are staring at me as I am photographing my Easter Bunny on the steering wheel. I left and came home....
Have a good day
I still have photocopies to do and some other stuff...
Catch you later... or when I decide to return to this universe...
