It was another gorgeous Spring morning and again on my way home I stopped to take a few more photos of the Grand Union Canal. These photos were of the view looking toward Kings Lock Bridge from the Pack Horse Bridge, the view looking back toward town from the same location and the Pack Horse Bridge itself.
Toward Kings Lock
(where the Lock Keepers Cottage has been turned into a fabulous little tea room run by the nicest couple you could wish to meet) from Pack Horse Bridge
Back toward Leicester City from Pack Horse Bridge
Pack Horse Bridge continues on to cross the River Soar.
It’s on mornings like these that I realize just how lucky I am to live so close to such a beautiful place. Not everyone might find it beautiful but for some reason I adore canals and I make no apology for this.
Arrived home to both kids, Nat had finished his paper round fairly quickly this morning and my dallying photography meant that he beat me home. I’m rather happy about that as I’m always concerned for his safety when he’s not home before me. Hannah was her usual cheerful self, yes I’m being sarcastic, and when I accidently caused her to spill milk on her trousers, by pretending I was going to fart in her general direction (acknowledgement to Monty Python freely given) she was, yet again, immediately reduced to floods of tears. NB Deb informed me that Hannah’s missed coat had been found at Cubs but if her missing phone (the one she got for her birthday in Dec) had been in one of the pockets it had gone so Hannah no longer has a mobile phone (update - days later we found it at home). No, I didn’t shout at her; I only tend to shout at her when she’s rude not really for anything else because you know kids are going to break and lose things. It’s part of being a kid; the good ones grow out of it and those that don’t generally end up on the Jeremy Kyle Show!
I spent much of the morning on the PC uploading the various photos and videos stored on my Nokia N8 with a view to accessing them at work and commencing the huge task of getting this blog up to date (it’s currently 04:07 the next day and this is precisely what I’m engaged in doing – in between answering calls of course!)
Eventually I decided enough was enough and finally headed off to bed at about 1:00PM. I had spent some time on Twitter and one of the things I discovered was that the Digital Planet podcast was being renamed to Click in order to co-ordinate it with it’s sister programme Click which is aired on the BBC News Channel. To his was later confirmed as I listened to that podcast on the ride to work. From Go Digital – Digital Planet – Click…proof of evolution if it were ever needed!
When I got up I discovered that Nat had brought home his school report and all in all it made pretty good reading. It was certainly far superior to any report I ever received. All mine ever said was “must try harder and his writing is fucking appalling”. Yes its true teachers were allowed to say things like that when I was a boy…Not!
Time for work, left home a little late and was somewhat sweaty when I arrived; no JDM, he’d been in in-day for a training course and was taking the night off but, shock horror, neither was there any sigh of the Hasmukhster (due back from the sub continent this very day). We didn’t have a manager…did they ask me to step in and fill the void? Did they fuck, no they asked C who hasn’t done it since Dec 2008 but proved she hadn’t forgotten what to do by doing fuck all. Lost count of the number of times she went out for a cigarette break. Thank the one true non-existent God that JDM is back tonight and let us hope the Hasmukhster is back too as JDM’s off again the next night.
Did a bit of Twittering, actually quiet a lot two great hashtags tonight - #pornsitcomns, #horrorsitcoms and #falserumours, between calls then settled down to start catching up on this blog. Here are a few of the sillier ones:

Here’re a few more silly photos…no particular reason I just like doing that kind of thing (attribution: Luther of the Rouges…The Warriors cert 18 1976)
Yeah, Fucking Hilarious
You Can Tell, I've Always Wanted a Fucking Hat.
