I’m not sure I’ll ever be here long enough to get excited by a bin 😉
To be fair, I’m more excited by the possibility that I might be able to control our fly population than the bin itself 😉 The container we had before was open and it was fly central quicker than you could even turn around.
OK, that sounds like a more reasonable reason for excitement 😉 I guess fly season will be over soon though!
No nor me, but having said that, I am currently visiting England and I do miss aspects of life in Germany that I could not have predicted sone years ago, such as the fact that I now seem to be the only person who waits for the green light before crossing the road!
Ha, you can’t live in Berlin then! They cross at the red light all the time here – while I’m standing waiting for the green man like I imagine a ‘proper’ German would do 🙂 Live and learn!!
Ha ha, well at least we both make an effort in this confusing world in which we live! 🙂
That’s all you can do!
Here young people tend to just cross while older people wait (and give those who don’t wait the death glare!).
Hermann would put a stop to that sort of carry-on 😉
I bet he’s got the death glare down to a fine art!
He does 🙂 I bet he can also use his colostomy bag like a lasso to return any jay-walkers to where they belong 😉
Haha, I fear I’ve revealed myself as a very sad individual 😉
No not at all, the best project I ever worked on was introducing wheelie bins for the residents of a Worcestershire district back in the 80s! 🙂
Please do explain exactly what a Biomull bin is! (My guess – for composting. But do you compost on your own, or is that part of the stuff you throw out for the organized and helpful trash/recycling folks to pick up?)
Biomüll is organic waste. It kind of is composting, but it’s “official” – the city comes and takes it away. We have a big Biomüll bin outside for everyone to put theirs in. We don’t have a garden so compost would be no use to us!
Ohhhh, let us know how it works! We keep a screen over our little bio waste container, but it doesn’t seem to help all that much. Flies are crazy this year though!
We still have tonnes of flies but they can’t get at the Biomüll. Currently there are some sitting on the bin… they know what’s in there but they can’t get to it.
That’s a cute bin! I have had less flies this year than in the past, lucky me. I started using a tupperware container a couple years ago. I keep it in there until I wrap it up to take outside.
I guess I haven’t been in Germany long enough 😉
Nor me! 🙂

I can totally understand…

We have loads! But I think part of that is because we live opposite the zoo.
I love having a Biomüll bin. 🙂 But yeah, it seems like you can never really keep the flies out of the house!
hahahahah love it
