thankyou mr garbage man
today is garbage day in Woodford. week in week out, our garbage is collected by an unknown & unseen garbage man. In his big truck, he comes down our street. I never see him to wave to but each year I leave him a gift on top of our bin - just to say 'thanks'.
A six pack of beer * tied in a big red bow....but I am like a cat on a hot tin roof right now - the beer is sitting out there, tied in its finery & I am worried that someone will come along and steal it. so I keep checking to see if it's still there.
Sad isn't it?

awww that's such a sweet thing to do, no doubt he'll love it!
Oh Ms. Robyn I have such a picture in my mind of you standing at your window looking out for the garbage man and it gives me a smile. You are such a sweet thoughtful lady!
It is sad Robyn; an indictment on our society today. We couldn't do that now even if we wanted to; our council has provided everyone with three garbage bins - green waste, recyclable, and other. Three different trucks come and they are fully automated - the men don't even have to get out of their seats, as mechanical arms pick up the bins and empty the contents into the truck. So anything sitting on the top of our bins would be tipped into the truck with all the garbage!
Aww no it's not sad at all, I'd be like you, it's especially for him and not for anyone else. Is it still there?
That is so very thoughtful of you! What a sweetie.
