24 June 2025 (Tuesday) - Late Shift

The pond’s level this morning was what it was last night so I think it fair to say there’s no leak. The plants that I moved into the pond looked a bit of a state though. I shall give them a day or so to sort themselves out before I hoik them out. Similarly the plants in the bucket look as though have had it. Maybe something will sprout from the roots?
 
I made toast and had my usual look at the Internet. It was still there. Our local MP was posting photos form a primary school which has recently benefited from the government’s free breakfast club initiative. Whilst it is a good idea, I don’t see why the breakfast club had to come with its brand new building. This would be utterly impractical in the rain and cold weather to say nothing of a complete waste of money. Doesn’t the school already have a canteen or dining hall?
And people were kicking off on one of the Hastings-related Facebook groups that I follow complaining about Hastings council (again). The boating lake has been bought out by the people who run the local amusement arcades and this was seen as council corruption by a load of people who openly admitted they were too apathetic to vote when they had the chance.
 
I took the dogs to Orlestone this morning. We had a good walk. We didn’t roll in anything and came back when called. We walked straight past the normal people when we saw them, and after two miles were back at the car.
It started raining as we got home. I gathered dog turds, made us both a cuppa and looked at the monthly accounts. They could be worse, but they could be a whole lot better. I wrote up some CPD (dull!), looked at some geo-puzzles (with varying successes) and got ready for work.
It was as I was about to walk out the door that I remembered my plan was to put a load of washing in earlier. I left “er indoors TM with instructions and set off.
 
...  and that was effectively it for today. I drove round to the petrol station then set off up the motorway to work and the late shift. The late shift wasn't bad really.
It was still daylight as I drove home. That won’t last long…
