Two posts in a day?

Also, a brief apology for no updating. Things have been their usual level of ridiculous busyness. I worked last weekend on nights and it was completely bonkers, more so than usual. At some point over the weekend had to shut down primary roads, deal with drunk drivers, illegal immigrants, barrelloads of fighting drunk idiots, undesirables taking advantage of other drunken idiots and relieving them of their wallets, a whole can of worms to do with child welfare issues, people suspected of carrying guns, it just went on. There is a police myth that all hell breaks loose when there is a full moon. I am beginning to believe it, for as we crawled back to the station at something past 6 on saturday morning, the clouds parted to show a huge full moon languishing over Parliament Hill. In case people wondered, I can't really talk about stuff that I deal with at work on here, as that kind of gets me into trouble with the powers that be who don't like it for some reason. But thats another story.

On a lighter note, Bec and I managed to find time to go for a walk a while ago. Unfortunately the weather decided to get involved and it absolutely chucked it down. We drove around for a bit whilst still hammering down where I had fun driving through various enormous puddles on the back lanes. It just stopped when we got out of the car, but you can see the water sluicing down the road. Bec is possibly looking for fish.


We got about 200 metres before it hammered down again and nearest shelter was required.

After this we were prepared to give it up as a bad job but it actually stopped properly after that and we could wander round the damp meadows.
