We have Contact

I was completely amazed when the nicest person named Suzy gave me a call yesterday afternoon. She's from Clearer Conscience, that link I posted? If you dunno what I'm talking about, check out the post "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"... and keep up.

Anyway, as I was saying, lovely girl, and even gave a possible explanation as to why none of these Recycling Pick Up Companies don't cover the Northern Suburbs: They don't know the Northern Suburbs.... OOOOH, Spooky.
But seriously, isn't that just so Cape Town. I totally got what she said though, because I pretty much feel like that about anything that takes longer than 25 minutes to get to. Just last week Clem and I had to drive through to Fish Hoek (FISH HOEK?!?!? Isn't that like 2 HOURS away or something *note the sarcasm please*) to go and watch his nephew play rugby. *SIGH* man that's far, like the other end of the world...

Now let me tell you something, all people on THIS side:
It's not so far, (it took us all of 40 minutes......seriously, it's not so bad)
and it's really pretty,
and so quaint,
when we got back that night it felt like we had been on an overseas trip... and the best part (well for me at least), Fudge could come along. They're way more pet friendly out that way. Even with bowls of water outside the little shops...just like Europe.
And Kalk Bay, and the little theatre, loved it
I will definately be venturing out that way more ... but that's another Cape Tonian thing... Planning on getting out more...planning, not doing. It's become a cliche, but really, we just don't realise how lucky we are, this place is unbelievably beautiful.

Anyway, back to Suzy, Clearer Conscience and recyclying. So, very nice very friendly but gives me the same damn news any other place has given me, only Southern Suburbs. But where normally I get a "Sorry, but thanks for your interest. Good Bye", Suzy, dear sweet Suzy, she said: "But if you can maybe get at least 10 households together, we can make a plan"

*Cue the Halleluja music*

We're getting somewhere. At last. I can almost not believe it. So now, finally, onto the next step:
10 Households willing to recycle

Can't be that difficult...

Can it?
