A Cautionary Tale...

We like to tell ourselves that our house is often a mess because we're so busy. After watching a Simpsons episode last week where they don't take out the bin until it toppled over, we'd adopted a similar approach. Finally reached tipping point this morning, approximately three weeks after it was last emptied. Instead of taking the whole bin outside, I stupidly thought it'd be a good idea to put the overflowing portion into a separate garbage bag. Dumb idea. Spilled bin juice all over the floor and my toes. Rotten smelling. Foul to clean up. The worst bit, though, was the maggots and their little baby maggots swimming around the wet floor. Disgusting. We are completely disgusting. Makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. From now on, the bin goes out every Monday night. No excuses.

On a more savoury note - bad photo, delicious dessert. Have been out to the Yarra Valley today with some friends for a Persian Christmas Banquet by Greg Malouf. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum....
