Not really in a writing mood. Its a week until I go on holiday and my mood is getting blacker by the day. Something always seems to be annoying me day by day now. People seem to stand in my way and present awkward obstacles in my path. For instance I tried to park in our village and had to move three times for on coming cars, then on a return trip through a narrow alley I met a mother and push chair in the way. People just seemed in the way !! Each little incident is another straw on the camels back as they say. Truth be told ive got to get away. Living and working everyday in the same dale drives me mad eventually and this manifests in my worsening temper...
Yesterday someone rang me up to complain some sheep were in his field. He was only concerned as he is being paid by a conservation scheme to keep the field empty. I mean how stupid is that ? Once farmers fenced their sheep to keep them on their own land, and now they fence them to stop them getting into others fields that are empty of sheep. Just nuts. I spent the afternoon sweating in the sun putting up two stone gaps. Of course this next week will bring more annoyances for sure. Ive seen it all before...
