Today in unexpected happenings at work: Somebody took a dump in a bucket. The poo pit flooded and is now a poo pond. I stood in quicksand, but it fortunately didn't go much deeper than the top of my foot and I was wearing gumboots (Wellingtons), so easily pulled my foot out. I finally stumped up the courage to ask my boss for a 10% raise, which I have been meaning to do since November (when the fuel price went up). She paid me double and said she'd discuss future payments with the co-owner of the business.

I again forgot to take my phone with me, so there are no photos of the big beasts that could have knocked me flying but were docile and sweet, nor of the surprisingly sour bramble berries I picked and ate. (The black ones are sweet, but the immature red ones are sour.)
