That's just silly in Day to Day

I saw a family saying goodbye to each other at the station this morning. There were three generations. The grandparents were putting their children and grandchildren on the train. It made me think of my father. We really don’t realise how much we’ve got until it’s gone.

I spent the weekend in Devon with my family and managed to visit the dinosaur park and do some cave exploring in Coomb Martin.

Today at work Kira brought some croissants in. So that was a nice start to the day. Then I somehow managed to drop my headphones in my coffee and I can only hear in one ear now. I am drying it out hoping that right ear will make a come back.

Continued with my ukulele building last night. I never get enough time to do anything these days. I will continue tonight.

Voting closes today for the Labour leadership contest. Jeremy Corbyn looks set to win again by a landslide. I thought that he’d lose the leadership within a few months of winning it the first time. The party however seems determined to tear itself apart. Speaking as an outsider and life long anti-socialist it is hysterical.

Finally, the BBC seems to be obsessed with tattoos today after a new report from Acas claims that companies are unfairly rejecting tattooed people. What gets me about this article (other than the fact that appears to have been written by a semi literate chimp) is the fact that they conclude that tattoos are now mainstream while also claiming that body art could be a sign of original thinking.. Original thinking, really? There is a tattoo parlour on every high street. It’s more unusual to see a person under 30 without tattoos than with them these days.

It also occurs to me that the whole point of a tattoo is to advertise one’s anti establishment leanings and general rebellious nature isn’t it? You can’t go around painting yourself as an anti establishment rebel and then moan about discrimination because that’s just silly!
