Happy days are here again. I now have officially got an appointment to get out and socialise !!! I've managed to get an appointment to go to the dump. Yes I've just had my appointment at Edinburgh Sighthill Community Recycling Centre at 4pm on Monday 8th June confirmed.
I'm so glad. Who wants restaurants or holiday bookings when you can look forward to hearing the gentle tinkling of bottles dropping in to the bottle banks, the smell of freshly mown grass cascading in to the garden waste skip and the staccato of plastic dropping in to the rigid plastics skip?
Of course this offers me the chance for some much needed social intercourse with those gentlemen of the skips in their smart freshly laundered hi-vis vests when they politely tell me "don't put it there, put it elsewhere cos what your putting in there is round but it has to be square" helping not to make the henious mistake of putting rubbish in to the wrong skip.
More than that though I'm putting on my brand new suit and dickie bow for this trip just in case I meet a lovely Lady as we toss our toasters in to the (small) electrics skip. I will pick up the scent of her Chanel Coco Madamoiselle drifting sensually on the breeze from the rubber (no tyres) shredder and then whispering through her diamond ear rings in to her small sexy ear "you and me babe, how about it? A wee trip to Currys to look at toasters?".
And as the gulls swoop and the horns toot I will drive home as a satisfied man...the world is open again.
