Marrickville Council rocks. Over the past week the Snook and I have noticed a drain behind the Abbey (the local backpackers’) that’s been backing up. Yesterday morning I stepped out to go to work and saw that it was literally *gushing* sewage into the street. Yeah, toilet paper, poo, everything. (Luckily it was flowing away from our place.) The Snook called the Council that morning and by the time I got home from work they’d inspected it and put up barriers. This morning we woke up to the sound of jackhammers breaking up the concrete around the drain. A 24-hour turn-around time for local government? I never would’ve believed it.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
