Hit the beach at 6 am this morning, The morons had been in the shelter next to the Mowlem again overnight and I quickly filled several bin bags with their Subway debris. Good job there isn't a MacDonalds in town otherwise I would have needed a bulldozer.
once I had got rid of that it only remained to sluice out all the second hand lager and the shelter was ready for today's visitors. There was some very threatening looking cloud overhead but this thinned and the day turned out to be a very pleasant one.

We got quite a bit done today, mostly clearing up after the unbelievable rain of yesterday. My speciality today was breaking down the plentiful broken umbrellas that had been shoved into bins all over the town.  It always amazes me that people still try to use them, even when there is a gale blowing. It is just as illogical as the people who are swimming in the sea when it starts to rain, they rush up the beach and shelter under their towels, then return to the water.  At the end of their swims they try to dry themselves with wet towels.
Enough of the ranting, today's stats are: Steps 18363 7.83 miles. No wonder my ankles ache. I'm beginning to learn about my body, my upper body is handling it well but walking on sand in steel capped work boots is very hard on the ankles and mine are beginning to ache. I sprained my left ankle in 1984 and the site of that injury has flared up and I am more than ready to get my boots off and put my feet up at the end of a shift.
