Recycled Trees

Tomorrow will be one of the few days I'll be glad to be at work rather than home. They are removing trees around our property, and I suspect it will be a noisy process. I'll miss the trees, especially the 3 huge gum trees in the back, but the upside is that we won't have to worry about the trees missing us in case they ever fall down.

We'll get to keep some of the wood for the fireplace, which will be nice, and should last us through the winter, and any really cold summer evenings. All part of the recycling process.

Speaking of recycling, Andrew gave in and let me buy some fast-food burgers & fries for dinner. We probably only do this about 3 times a year, mostly because of my nostalgia and American taste-buds. He thinks cardboard tastes better. Anyway, I wrote a little rhyming poem, which sums it up nicely:

Maccas is found all over the world,
A comfort food that tastes familiar & yummy;
But once you are finished and the serviettes furled,
The bloat begins pronto in your tummy!

I still prefer the American-made special sauce. I think it has a higher recycled cardboard content, which reduces the bloating.
