The loneliness..

... of the short-distance blower.

06:45 this morning out with the dogs and I heard and then spotted this keen public servant. I imagine the residents living opposite Ebley Mill were utterly enthralled to be woken by the sound of someone burning fossil fuel to shunt leaves ten feet in all directions.
Leaf blowers are a bloody awful invention. Beloved of golf course wankers, Daily Mail wankers and general wankers, leaf blowers should be on the list of Geneva Convention prohibited weapons.
