We went for a walk around the Blue Lake yesterday. It’s about 4km.
It’s popular with dog walkers and the council provides poop scoop bags at several locations.
About two thirds of the way around the lake we noticed a woman helping herself to multiple plastic pooch poop bags.
Not only was it strange to see her taking more than one, she didn’t even have a dog!
What on earth was she doing? Probably collecting bags for her kitchen or rubbish containers.
That reminded us of a man we called “Stingy Bum”, who we paid rent to for a year in New South Wales.
He insisted on cash and met me on a street corner in town at the same time every month.
Juliet once saw him in a supermarket taking the plastic bags they provide for fruit and vegetables and stuffing several of them into his pocket.
These people are probably wealthy, but my guess is they are also unhappy.
