Less rubbish :: Tip #1

Well here is my first tip.  Gosh I know you've all been waiting with bated breath.

Ditch the bin liner! - it's just added plastic and not really necessary 

We no longer put plastic garbage bag liners in our bin (both indoor & outdoor bins).  It sounds messy, and now and then it is.  All our food scraps end up in the compost heap, or in the chook yard.  So really, the rubbish in our bin is mostly clean. If the bin gets a bit sticky, I give it a quick swoosh-out with water and washing-up detegent and leave it in the sun to dry. Too easy. 

PS.  Maybe where you live, compostable garbage bags are available.  We don't have them here.  But even if they were on offer I'd avoid buying them. I'm always mindful of what precious resources are needed to produce such a luxury.

I am under no illusions about whether this blog is well read.  I can count on my fingers and a few toes just how many loyal readers I actually have (and most of them are related, oh bless 'em).  And I am cool with that.  I'm not aiming for fame or fortune.  I just enjoy writing a blog. Simple.  I see it as a kind of artistic expression -  a snapshot of our existence as a family, a place to display my random musings and importantly, my mediocre photos (ah, a basic photography course - it's on my bucket list). I don't keep a diary.  Every time I've tried it's ended dismally after a few entries. I take issue with my cursive writing - I can never keep it to a consistent size and shape! I'm a little bit afflicted by a condition know as "perfectionist" - just a wee little bit that is.

So now dear loyal related and non related readers, you can subscribe to this blog.  I don't even know how this function works.  But what the heck, it's on offer anyway. I had an email from my dear friend Kristy requesting such an option.  So here it is Kristy, especially for you!

I hope you can figure it out!! xxx
