We all whinge about Wellington City Council. We complain about rates, the price of rubbish bags, the fact they won't pick up all the bottles in the plastic bins outside my house but there is something pretty awesome that they do.
You see, I live in the middle of town. There's a thirty second walk to San Fran or Mighty which means a nice stumble on the way home. It works for me. It's not the first time I've lived in the middle of town. I used to live in the middle of Auckland as well. What I didn't like about Auckland was that it didn't get cleaned up very well. Wellington City Council kicks arse for the cleaning. Every night a band of anonymous street cleaners comes out on their little things that look like zamboni or a ride on lawn mower. They leave almost no proof that the day, or night, before ever happened.
We don't really appreciate these people but imagine if they didn't exist. All that detritus from the night before would just sit there and build up and become really gross. Kind of like a zombie town without the zombie.
So, that's my choice thing for today. The people that clean up our city and make it the beautiful, wonderful place it is.
OOOOOO and two things upcoming that are awesome: tonight at Bats a show called Love Animal is going to be awesome awesome awesome. Go and see it. Secondly, is that Fringe Fest is coming up - it is going to be a fantastic year for this. There will be much more about this on Facebook over the coming weeks.
ALSO, still looking for people to post etc. Your work will be read by an average of 100 people a day (which is pretty choice for a new blog). If you freak out about writing, DON'T - you can write short, long, draw a picture. Anything goes.
BE CHOICE and have a lovely dovely day.
