It must have snowed again to night because there is frozen snow on the cars when I go running. It starts of at -3°C but once the sun get out the temperature rises quickly to around 10C. The afternoon is cloudy and gray, with lower temperatures.

After running, which is very nice at a dry, windless -3, I spent most of the day reading. Except for a few hours pruning in the garden which I must stop because the GFT container is full.

This container is one part of the environment friendly waste collection.

GFT stands for 'groente, fruit en tuin' (translated from Dutch : vegetable, fruit and garden') and is a big plastic container about 1mx0.4mx0.4m (hwd) that is used to collect the biodegradable waste. This is later processed into compost. We handle the normal compost able stuff ourselves but wood from pruning doesn't decompose easy unless you chop it finely and mix it in with the rest to form a good mulch. The GFT container is picked up once every fortnight so during the late winter early spring it is always overly full.
Plastic is also collected separately, in large but thin translucent green bags (not made by Apple :-). This is also done once every fortnight but alternating with the GFT.
Paper is also collected separately but not by the town but rather by some other organization. And only once a month (on call)
All the rest is collected via the classic gray plastic bags

I tried to do some surfing in the morning but this turned into sufring. Every few minutes the modem would drop the connection. So I didn't get the name server data entered at Joker. Maybe this evening.


Adios

If you put time in the fridge, can you keep it longer?.
