Bin night has had some of its shine taken away for me. Back in the olden days they'd be collected before I was up in the morning, so getting it all out the night before was essential, and the tinkle tinkle/crash/bang of the truck coming down the street was like a dawn chorus.
The last couple of weeks, during the new normal, bins haven't been collected till past elevenses. This means there is technically no need for a "bin night" and I'm topping up the bins before they arrive- empty milk bottles from breakfast and my brunch stella cans. It's given me an empty feeling that percolates through my whole week.
