The protesters
We heard some noise outside at work. We are four floors up but we could hear these people across the road just the same. They were just getting ready and one was adjusting their sign. I think they were there in support of the blockaders. There are a group of climate change activists who have been causing mayhem on our rail line North which carries aside from passenger trains, bulk coal trains. While I am all for being able to protest, the right of free speech and doing something about climate change, I suspect the main affect of their blockades has been to disrupt passenger services. They haven't been running the trains at night as they are worried about safety with blockaders being on lines etc and how long it takes to stop a coal train. A few have been arrested and one has had a gaol term imposed which seems a bit harsh to me. I suspect these people are there in support of someone before the Courts as they were standing outside the court house.
My friends who have Penny, a sort of cousin to Maggy, offered to mind her while I was working so they had her for the day. I was sent photos and videos of her activities throughout the day but the extra rather appealed to me of M inviting Maggy to play ball with her. Maggy just doesn't know what to do.
