It took a little effort to get this picture of these donkeys on Mablethorpe beach. There were plenty of people taking rides on them, so I had to wait for a gap. The lady looking after the donkeys kindly corralled them for me after I asked if it was ok to get a picture. I think I’ve front focused by a tiny fraction (although you can’t really tell unless you zoom right in), but I did quite well considering the rangefinder patch om my GW690 isn’t the easiest thing to use, especially on moving subjects.
Something good that happened today…
This isn’t a particularly good thing in itself. We received notification about a mandatory team call tomorrow and the feeling is that it won’t be good news. I guess the worse case scenario is that jobs are being cut, although I don’t know that for certain. Whatever the case, I don’t think they will be announcing inflation busting pay rises or anything.
I guess the good thing is that, while I feel unnerved about it, I don’t feel as anxious as I have when similar announcements have been made in the past. This is a small mercy, but I’ll take it. I guess I’ll know more tomorrow.
