Moans and gripes

• I need to start watching what I eat/ what I cook. Otherwise you might see me on Channel 4's Supersize v Superskinny
• The London Borough of Lambeth have a new waster collection policy - or as they laughingly call it strategy. This means they do not collect bins from the inside of properties any more, instead all bins must be on the pavement. They must have good reason for this but I don't know what it is. It has been in operation for 5 weeks enough to make me believe that it needs a complete rethink. Next door have not complied with the requirement for the last three weeks, as a result a small mountain of black and orange bin bags are building up in their front yard. Having big bins on the pavement are a huge temptation for drunks to bang on late at night. After collection some bins remain on the pavement for a whole day, often blocking the footpath, I pity anyone who needs to maneuver a mobility vehicle around what is a council created obstacle course.
• this is my first full week in the office since early April I don't like it.
