Morning .
Another poor night's sleep . My mind started doing a lot of thinking , some of which was WW2. It must have been quite a shock to experience all of the fighting , devestation , to return home to find similar destruction in your home town and then to go back to your old job if it was still there . I think some of it came from a comment my mum had said to my wife about my dad . She said that he was a different person after he came back . It must be strange being away for 4 years and to take up where you left off . :wacko:

It started raining yesterday late morning and I don't think has stopped since.
Warnings about roads possibly flooded and the Rest and be Thankful A83 [commonly known as The Rest] has been closed overnight due to possible landslides. This has been going on for years but I lived within cycling distance of it many years ago and there was not this problem then. I think trees have been cut down which was a mistake as the roots held the hillside together. There are numerous suggestions about how to sort this problem but all of them multi billion £ jobs.
Pottering around the house today which I find very frustrating being confined indoors.
Ernie has been and left me £125 so not all bad.^_^

Picket Line crossed this morning - UNISON this time. I've more empathy with our lower paid Facilities staff than I do with Academics. Yes the pay rise is crap, but we aren't getting any more money in terms of Income per Student. It was mainly made up of our cleaners, so I had a chat, as two of them were asking where I was - I've moved floor ! I'd be all for them getting a one off payment, or indeed a non permanent monthly amount to help.

We've all had the same poor pay rise, but I can't afford to lose 4 or 5 days pay.

We've Unison staff striking as well. In my building's case it was a rag-taggle of people I didn't recognise.

My guess is those who do the actual work weren't on strike.

The academic union UCU has had a MASSIVE campaign for striking. It's all about voting 'yes', no discussion, no engagement. Vote 'yes' to strike or you're pilloried. IMO that's not a democratic union.

Two things for Mundane news,first Mrs P says I am more interested in wildlife and the outdoors than I am on her.Rubbish she then asked what's it like outside,I replied it looks like rain dear.Secondly does anyone have a phone number for a Church Minister who would travel to do an exorcism, I think the bathroom mirror here in Goosnargh is possessed by an evil spirit. I have just come down from a shave and shower.and my word this old tired man was staring back at me,his body all saggy no muscle definition skin all tired and weird looking.I have no idea where he has come from,there has always been a fit and healthy young man in there before.So I might also go for an eye test.

I know the feeling. I sometimes think my skin still looks ok in the mirror….until I put my glasses on and all these wrinkles appear!
