It’s Monday morning and the sun is shining brightly. I don’t want to vent my ire on a start of the week but I can’t help it.
Early this morning, I went out to sweep the streets fronting our house and at the side road too. Been doing this for a long time, at least thrice a week even if the village has its own maintenance crew who visits once a week. And I blogged about this before. The usual cigarette butts, candy wrappers, some dried leaves from our neighbor’s bamboo tree but what I noticed was a bag full of plastic cups, plastic spoons and forks, burger wrappings, styrofoam boxes with left over food. My gosh, some people don’t even know the meaning of the word “discipline”. As long as it is not in their backyard, so be it. I bet, this plastic bag came from a moving car and they just threw it haphazardly in the street.
The Metro Manila Dev. Authority has anti-littering law but I guess it is only implemented in public conveyances like jeepneys and buses. They’re required to provide a garbage receptacle for their riders.
I slept for eight hours with at least three CR breaks in between. I drink a lot before going to bed, that is why and sometimes I wake wanting a glass more. Research say it is not good to drink at night to avoid comfort room breaks and disrupt sleep. When you feel dehydrated, I guess, a half glass would be okay.
How was your weekend? Happy June month everyone 🙂
My pet hate is the rubbish left behind by LAZY people…… that still want their mums to clean up for them, it’s about time they grew up, or leave our planet, if they’re not prepared to look after our environment, maybe they should go live their own rubbish tip !!!

Maybe they were not taught to clean their own mess Ivor and that’s kind of annoying.

I don’t care about what they were taught, it’s all about where they live now …..

Happy June, Arlene! I don’t appreciate when people toss their garbage into the street either. Here drivers can get fined if they are caught littering. The worst are those who toss burning cigarette butts out their windows and cause the dry grass along the roads to catch on fire. I had a nice weekend, went to the ocean with friends and also to the Redwood Forest nearby. 🙋

I had a good weekend Arlene, although it had some things go wrong, my husband and I visited some gardens, saw some family, and had some time to spend together. Little things mean more when you are older…roses in June, a chance to walk in gardens. Wonderful.

People throwing rubbish from cars happens even in peaceful Beetley. No amount of ‘education’ seems to get through to a certain type of selfish person.
Best wishes, Pete.

There are always odd bits on the sidewalk outside our home. I actually once wrote a poem about the discarded lottery tickets. My sympathy.
