If I had a child under the age of 30 who lost their job in the next couple of years I would be very deeply concerned. Morrison for Social Services? With a priority for Child Welfare? I am speechless with horror. We will be seeing forced labour camps before long.

That said, I had a very lazy day today - took the lawn mower up to a friend who managed to free up the blade that had wedged itself under the middle spinning bit, but by the time i got home it was too darn hot to even contemplate exercise, so I retired indoors and drank lemon barley water.

Our long walk this evening was conducted after a cooler breeze had started up and was blessedly snake-free. Now we are all waiting for it to cool down enough to go to bed.
