    I’d be a bit worries about the laundry blowing away. With some of the gusts out there the hard rubbish might blow away too!

    I do love a good hard rubbish crawl. We have on demand pickups here, so don’t get the concentrated collections anymore.

      Trees are definitely thrashing their branches around here. My consolation is that the laundry will dry very fast today. Hard rubbish day is lots of fun I reckon. It’s remarkable the number of items that keep appearing only in front of different houses each year.

        My blue clamshell I bought for the dogs (that they refused to use) got taken by someone down the road. I was happy to see it had quite a few years of use before I saw it outside their place again.

        I threw out some old curtains a few months ago, which mysteriously reappeared in an abandoned trolley dumped at a vacant house acrosss the road. Not so good, and I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what on earth was going on there.

            I really have no idea. But I just got back from a walk and there are another two dumped trolleys there as well, it seems to be some sort of trolley staging area. There is another up the road, which is potentially still making its way there. Perhaps the curtains are a robe to designate the Trolley Monarch?

              All hail the Mighty Trolley Monarch! Definitely rules in High St Thornbury/Northcote. Mind you we do have 2 Aldis, a Woolies and 2 Coleses as well as a lot of other shops in a 1 k strip. And Preston Market not much further away.

                The closest stores with a trolley to me are 1.6km away, you have to cross a highway and then mostly push up hill to get here. Yet still they come.
