Hi everyone,
Another day of not seemingly achieving anything today. Mildly annoying.
The day started with setting up the spike harrows to put over the ploughed paddock, and the giving the dog a short walk. At about 10am I had a shave and a cleanup and put in my SES uniform to go to Tatura for the interview I'd agreed to do with the local Channel 10 Weeknights for National Volunteers Week.
I have to say, the interview wasn't a colossal success. The journo was a lovely young lady who didn't ask anything unreasonable; however I learned that even though I can talk like a 5'10" Chatty Cathy when I'm in court, when I'm in front if a camera I gibber like the village idiot. Lord knows what it'll look like on TV. Truth be told, I'm a little worried about someone seeing it and knowing where to find me: one of the drawbacks of being a litigation lawyer in a regional area is that you share a community with a certain number of people who you know hate your guts.
After the interview I went to Shepparton for a few things including the Weekly Times and the local paper. I saw something that kind of startled me at the entry to a payday-lender's offices. This is their doorway -
Right at the bottom of the door, in the most inconspicuous place possible, was this sign -
Some businesses are truly vultures.
While I was in town I bought a couple of cucumbers and some dried figs and called them lunch. By then it was about 3pm and I attended to some personal matters as the afternoon wore on. The dog and I took a walk in the setting sun; it was just too cold to run or cycle.
Not much else to add. Weather is getting cold here. >sigh< Not looking forward to another long winter in the Goulburn Valley!
