Second thoughts

This second post of the day is here because my husband thinks I was lazy not putting any words with the last post! :) Anyway, maybe I have an odd sense of humour, but I thought I'd share a little incident we had here this morning that has made me smile all day.

Its rubbish collection day on our street. Usually I put the bins out after breakfast and the rubbish truck doesn't get here till lunch time. But this morning as we were having breakfast, who did we hear but the rubbish truck? Feeling rather self-conscious about doing this I rushed outside to put the bin on the other side of the road to await his return - only to find several other neighbours doing the same thing - and when we went out a little later on, all the way down our street there were extra rubbish bins on the other side of the road.

Maybe this doesn't capture anyone else's imagination, but it has made me smile many times today - maybe just because I keep imagining the truck driver doing this just for a laugh - and watching us all rush outside in PJs to get our bins out...

Anyway, just because, here is a picture I finally downloaded this morning - our big, happy one-year old!

Derek and Steph, have you had trouble seeing the images more often? I'm not sure if there is anything I can do about it from this end - but let me know if you continue to have trouble! Thanks, Ruth
