Leaves

Highlight of Thursday night was watching the Station Officer, Ian, sweep some leaves up. Sometimes life as a  Coastguard can get that interesting.

He was reminded of the futility of sweeping leaves on a windy day, and I complemented him on his broom swishing leaf action, ...but despite those kind words I was told me to go home.

To be fair me watching him sweep leaves was pretty sad.  Still he did a great job and the car park was clear of leaves for at least 3 minutes. When he reads this blog no doubt I will be put on leaf sweeping duty for a month.

Meanwhile the station squirrel seemed happy enough sitting on the fence as usual.
