The success of people-intensive events depends on the hard work of so many behind the scenes workers. This city of Sydney worker was picking up rubish in Hyde Park to keep the area clean for the Catholic World Youth Day revellers.
Today is, apparently Ratcatchers' Day. I hope this young woman doesn't have to deal with any rats!
It's also Pi approximation day in countries that use DD/MM/YY format for dates: 22/7
I like the idea of Pi Day - did not know it existed. What is Ratcatcher's Day all about?
ReplyDeleteDitto Julie - what's ratcatcher's day? (Did you know its the International Year of the Potato?)
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely NO idea what Ratcatchers' Day is - just something I saw on Wikipedia and thought it fitted the clean up theme.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the letter in today's Herald about the amount of unrecycled rubbish that was left behind at Randwick?
Ratcatchers' Day? I have to warn Mao (my lazy kitty) ;-) --- Sally you were right. I read again your post and we are on same length (as we say here) ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame about the unrecycled rubbish. Though nice of you to acknowledge the city workers.
ReplyDeleteI believed that it was Benoit XVI who cleaned.
ReplyDeletethe papal stick has a brush with the end
Ratcatchers Day sounds a mite ominous! Good salute to hard workers!
ReplyDeleteRight, they are great, those voluntaries who do it for nothing.
