It doesn't take much

to make me happy.

Today, my cup overfloweth on discovering that the good people of York Council have authorised grey bin collections as well as recycling throughout the christmas period. The sudden realisation that my house is going to be clear of ripped wrapping paper, turkey carcasses and dirty nappies is making me giddy.

There are so many full bin liners in the garage that I feel I should sculpt them into something. Maybe a scale model of Devil's Mountain a la Richard Dreyfus in Close Encounters.
