Hoovers and Hamsters
It was a bright, warm morning as Susan left her home and walked along her road towards Bristol city centre. She walked quickly, neatly dodging the black bins, recycling boxes and brown food bins that littered the pavement. The familiar beeping, clattering and chinking of the recycling lorries filled the air but when she tuned in to the general soundscape she could hear the birds singing in the park, which made her smile. After fifteen minutes she entered the office building that was the location for her current temp job. Susan greeted the receptionist as she searched her bag for her flimsy paper pass. Finally she found it, showed the bar code to the pass reader and received a satisfying beep. She walked through shabby corridors into a noisy office greeting co-workers as she passed them.
