The little known bin dance.

We recently had our friend Jeff stay with us to catch up but also sort out some stuff we are storing for him. We got a collapsable 3cubic metre skip for the heaps of cardboard, paper etc that needed to be disposed of.

Well  it was getting pretty full so after a night of rain I decided to do a little dance on it to pack it down. It worked - we fitted a lot more stuff in. Note the clouds and misty rain in the background.



Fiona took the above candid photo of me doing my dance. I thought it was pretty funny so thought I'd share it. And of course I was dressed in sartorial splendour for the occassion!!!!

  1. bin dance sounds awesome!! hmm... i wonder ... if i can rework it into a workspace dance or a storage space dance ... that would be useful ;)

  2. L-your comment made me smile - not sure how it would go as a workspace or storage dance but it was a bit of fun. Go well. B

  3. It looks like fun! Pre-digital cameras, I have images of myself and an artist friend atop a construction bin, diving for goodies for assemblage. The young man who was the job site foreman caught us. I think he had a difficult time keeping a straight face as he told us to get down and leave his junk alone!
    We got some good stuff before we were caught!

  6. P - thought you'd be charmed. LAM - hmmm!! Methinks you might have been bin surfing - quite different to the little known art of bin dancing. D - I did say sartorial splendour - big pockets for collecting stuff. It is affirming that that you love my work - thanks.B
