Coffee in the laneway

Yesterday morning we took some couches out into the laneway, and served coffee and biscuits, from 10:30 until lunch. We're doing it because a lot of the service providers in the CBD are cutting back their services during the Games, because they figure that most of the people who use them won't want to be around, because of all the police, et cetera. So we thought we should try and make it more comfortable for people to be in the city. So we'll be doing it today, as well as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week.

I looked out the office window just before, and wondered why there were bins blocking off the laneway.

Then I realised it was so no-one would park where we'll be setting up.
