Story Missing
The other morning I work up very early, probably about 5 o'clock, and looked out our living room window. I saw two large shoes placed neatly on top of our electrical connection box. It gave me pause: how did the shoes get there, who did they belong to, what would happen to them now?
A few hours later, this is what I saw,
The shoes were gone! What happened? Surely a story that has gone missing. Have you any idea?

LOL No, I don't!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKay, if I hadn't taken a photo, I would have thought it a dream.
ReplyDeletePeople do this all the time around where I live. Too lazy to take them to the shoe collection box? Just leave them by the garbage cans and someone will pick them up.
ReplyDeleteOh, and because the city of Hamburg is broke, to save money they recently closed a waste collection centre where you could take shoes, old clothes, dangerous chemicals, paints, as well as huge items like old furniture for disposal. Now you have to cart them miles away to another, bigger disposal centre. Result? People who move out just leave their junk lying around, and it takes weeks for anyone to do anything about it. Orderly Germans? Hah!
Ian, does that mean you can't order Sperrmüll any more? Hamburg, being a large city, undoubtedly experiences many more problems than a small city like Lübeck. What with the city cleaning department that looks to have a surplus of workers and the large troop of "green men" (1 Euro workers), even the pigeon poop doesn't doesn't stand a chance of remaining touched. This is probably only in the city center, outside of the city things will not necessarily be so.
ReplyDeletePerhaps someone took them off to dance in the grass and then came back for them later...
ReplyDeleteLadyFi, I like that idea best of all.
ReplyDeleteDear Lia, you may think of me and my husband as very orderly people, but sometimes we just place things we don´t need any longer (and that are too big for the Oxfam shop) somewhere in the ara of Lübeck we live in, with a sign "please make use of me" -and they are generally gone the next morning! I love thinking about the unofficial "Sperrmüll" that seems to excist here! Tine
ReplyDeleteI like the new layout. Yup, they sobered up and came back to get them. :)
ReplyDeleteMaggie, thanks for you mentioning the new layout.
