Joined Clr Byrne (the Mayor) and Clr Iskander, Council and EPA Officers at the opening of the St Peters Comunity Recycling Centre this morning. Ofcourse I took  along my own bucket of items for recyling and now have the honour of being the first depositer of batteries and light globes - as it happens an incandescent, a fluoro and some LEDs. This is the second Inner West Council Recycling Centre, the other is at Leichhardt.

Playing the Saw with a Cello Bow Made it to the Loaded Dog Folk Club on Saturday night and the Open Inner West Cullinary Tales with Saida on Sunday morning in the back hall. Learned how to chop parsley, mint, spring onions and tomato finely and which burghul to use and how to soak it for tabouleh. Then best of all, we got to sit down and eat what we had helped prepare. The final touch - Pomegranate Sauce On Saturday night, there was also an 18th Birthday in the upstairs hall and on Sunday morning there was a young crew making a film. The Community Centre has such great popular spaces with lots of activities throughout the week and venues to hire for your event.
