And no, I’m not talking about shopping trolleys.
The weather in Canberra today was surprisingly good. It wasn’t cold and it wasn’t too warm. It was overcast with a hint of humidity. My skin didn’t feel too dry. It was the sort of day that I would have expected a lot of people to be out walking around Lake Ginninderra.
Barren playgrounds
Instead, it was pretty barren. I saw a few familiar faces, the regulars who I see when I’m on a morning walk.
More often than not, the play areas are occupied with children and their parents. Today, though, the playground and the climbing equipment were bare.
Hard rubbish
Even in a city like Canberra, people just dump old furniture on the sidewalk assuming someone will take it and keep it, or the city council authorities will pick it up for disposal. When that happens, taxpayers and rates payers end up footing the bill.
I this was a nice juxtaposition, though. You can attend an inspection and have a sit-down and discussion while you’re at it.
Hairy melons
Do you like your melons hairy? The mind boggles. I’m not sure I want to eat a hairy melon! 😳😂🤣
My short story
Last week, I mentioned I was thinking about writing a short story. I’ve started. That’s about all I can say.
I’m glad to hear you started the story! Does it include any hairy melons?
No melons, it’s not that sort of story 😂 But there may well be the mention of hair.
I very much enjoyed this! I have some very good friends who do this sort of thing when they travel (they have a wordpress blog called ‘Living the Travel Channel’). Hairy melons and shopping trolleys are needing to be googled!
Thanks Kris, I like to document things that catch my attention.
