RE: My first night dumpster diving
How has no one commented!!!????
Hey man! Great to hear from another dumpster diver!
When I was living in Singleton in NSW, Australia, my partner and I dived for food. We didn't need to, but it seemed INSANE to let all the amazing Baker's delight bread go to waste. Tragedy!
I laughed at the High Sparrow reference and at the abhorrently poor photo quality (but I love it's authenticity at the same time!)
Congratulations on a delightful read and I feel honoured to write the FIRST post on an article that's trending.
You have an awesome weekend, too - you big legend!!
Cheers,
Nick
Alright Legend!
Stoked you enjoyed the story, it was a real thrill and i was still buzzing off the adrenaline when i got home and started writing. Yeh theres way too much thrown out in Australia, whether its food, clothes or household items! Obviously youll know the collection piles that people stick outside their houses for the council to grab - its like treasure that isnt even buried. Had some great finds without having to dive!
Ive had mates who have dived for food in the past and even unfortunately heard stories of supermarkets locking up their bins to make sure people can grab the throwaway food. Very backwards thinking ideas. Still if youve got the tekkers a lock should be no problem anyway ;)
Thanks for your comment mate and look forward to following and reading some of your stories in the future!
Thanks for replying!
I totally agree - waste in Australia is obscene. So sad. Have you watched War on Waste with Craig Resucassel from the Chaser?
Thanks for following me - I've always got something new coming out during the week on most days. Today's was a feature on bath bombs and bathing relaxation, although I spend much more time writing fiction - particularly the "Adventures in Elowyn Glade' saga. It's been so much fun.
All the best,
Nick
Ahh i dont have a TV so i havent seen it, but il have a dig on youtube and see if theres any clips around. Yeh i noticed your fiction stories when i first followed you. I had a skim through but id rather find the time to kick back with a cuppa and take the time to process and enjoy them - looks like youve put a ton of effort in to them!
