Bin Men

Every monday at half past five I get woken up by the binmen. Not the actual bin men. Just the bin emptiers. They come around first to take all the bags out of the bins and put them in a pile. We don't have wheelie bins. Everything has to be bagged and put in the bin.

I usually manage to get back to sleep, a deeper slumber, only to get woken again at half past six, maybe six-twenty or quarter past. That is when the bin lorry arrives.
