The elusive white crumbly
I saw a white crumbly today. The first one I've seen for many a year. It was on the unpleasant side of Mirehouse.
White crumblies were very common in the 70's, but are so rare these days that they are worth 15 points from Big Chief Eye-Spy in the Eye-Spy Book of Feaces.
It was a rare treat to see one again.
* I decided not to upload the photo!

What would you do?
What would you do if the company that you worked for required you to work on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day, but wouldn't pay you anything extra for it - and then called you ungrateful for even suggesting such payment?
What would you do if they made you work longer hours on weekend evenings, making your unsociable working hours even more so for no good reason, or even any advantage to themselves?
What would you do if they accused you of falsifying records, when you had actually written exactly what they told you to?
What would you do if they altered the equipment that you worked with every day in such a way that there was a possibility that using that equipment could result in an accident which could potentially injure or kill unsuspecting members of the public every time you operated it?
What would you do if the company that you worked for did all of these things without discussing it with you, and without notice, and refused to listen when you complained?
What would you do if the stress caused by all of this was beginning to take it's toll on your health?
I'm a 'househusband' now!

Walking Again
So I decided that March was the time to try to get a bit fitter again for the summer. I did this last year and managed to loose a bit of weight and go down by two jean sizes. Fairly easy really - a combination of eating healthier, and walking every day.
I put about two thirds of the weight back on over the winter, so time to try again.
Two weeks in, I have walked 68 miles and lost half a stone so far. I have blisters on my feet, but it's going well.
