Happy NYE! What’s everyone’s plans for the night?
I was going to stay home but now I think I might go watch the fireworks at Williamstown then train around to random places for the rest of the night
Sounds fun! We’ll have dinner with an old friend and then also be home fairly early. We had some terrible NYEs including someone cheerfully urinating right next to us, so we now just have a relaxed evening and don’t go to do anything in large crowds.
I haven’t had many bad experiences out and about on NYE just yet. I did have to stay home one year I was planning on going out because COVID, but that’s the worst that’s happened (so far)
Dinner sounds good, what’s for dinner?
We’re heading out to a pub with our friend, nothing too fancy but they’re great so we always look forward to seeing them 😊
Hope you have a great night!
Since Knox went to the green-blue-yellow bin rotation (rubbish and recycling fortnightly, green waste weekly), the idiots over the road either don’t care or don’t understand and just put all their bins out every week and add to the uncollected bin there. This makes the uncollected bins more and more overflowing, and the crows very pleased. They currently have a bin each to themselves until Tuesday morning, with food options not unlike the old Smorgies buffet restaurant.
That said, if interest rates go much higher, I might be fighting them for the leftovers.
Some people really are not competent at bin management, and definitely don’t deal well with changes to the system. You should count yourself luck they don’t also put out the small kitchen caddy.
During the first month or so I did try to rationalise it: Knox (Boronia) has a glut of blocks building 5 or more two bedroom, 1 garage townhouses, and most have no outdoor space (it got used by the obligatory water tank and shed/box.)
With no backyard to mow, they didn’t have or need a green waste bin, but this year they’ve had to take one, and there’s nowhere to put it. To make things worse, the waste bin is now a fortnightly pickup, and anyone with a pet now has two weeks of ripeness instead of one.
