Reached for the latch to get through a gate and I felt an almighty pain on my index finger, quickly looked and there was a wasp stuck in my finger, didn't even have time to react and it had flown away but jebus! my finger was throbbing for all the walk and I can still feel it now.

Misheard the news.
Spent most of the morning thinking Robbie Williams had died.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Easy day today. Was my rest day but went in for my changeover. Was meant to be 3.5 hours but only lasted 2.5 so was done by 11.20. Needed to get in done as the morning OT is gone so only way to make up my 30hrs is taking extra out but not being able to drive really was an issue as i'm with a different partner everyday so can't take much OT

A fair bit of lapsing on OT this afternoon. (took 3 hours, as there was a fair bit of walking between each lapsed bundle....)
Got told my contract is getting upped to 30 hours a week, and got home to see the new contract posted through my letterbox! :dance :nana

Bought two choccy bars from the corner shop I deliver to on my round - both of them had winning codes inside for free choccy! :dance
