I haven't given much thought to tonight's blog, it has been a busy day.
Took Jacob and Rose to the beach this morning quite early while Tom was watching the race. It was glorious, nobody else there and just starting to get pleasantly hot. It was so clear that you could see right up and down the shore of the lake so far that it appeared to be turning in on itself like you were at the centre of a huge bay. Little, fluffy clouds, deep blue sky and a bit of a gentle breeze keepng the humidity off - perfect. Jacob made a hill, Rose lay on a towel periodically shouting at us to 'be quiet, I'm concentratin' on laxin' and I made a giant's foot sculpture. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
On our way home from visiting Grandma I cleared the top forgotten item on my shopping list for the past few weeks, and just in the nick of time. It is garbage day on Tuesday and I have no tags left, in this part of Ontario they won't take away your garbage without an official Lampton County garbage sticker, purchased at an official stockist, stuck to it.
I don't think its a very popular policy but I think its a great idea. The curbside recycling is really good and collects paper, cardboard, glass, tins, aluminium foil and rigid plastics numbered 1-6 in the triangle. They take as much as you like of this for free as long as it is in your blue box or a blue bag (we put out 5 bags of packing paper a couple of weeks ago and it was whisked magically away), but they will only take landfill rubbish if it has a bona fida tag that cost you $2.50. It really makes you think about what you throw out.
