like so many irishmen before me

'oh don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work'


still at it, just ice now. at a james gillespies school today, solid ice, tough going. totally dangerous having that many schoolkids having to go along pavements like that. hardest i've worked in ages i'm knackered but sure work is work. saw a massive flock of beautiful waxwings today it's grand to be outside.
