Great Weather for Ducks ... and Pukekos

It is finally light enough for me to cycle to and from work again. Although it's still winter I've had three enjoyable rides in the past week. Today it was damp as I rode along the track. There weren't many people about but the pukeko were out and about in force. I counted 30 pukeko around the expressway wetland area. Some pukeko are skittish but the odd one, like a little fellow today, just stroll across the path in front of my bike.

Thai Football Boys Cave Rescue

First they survived 10 days deep inside a cave in Thailand, then the world waited and wondered if they would make it out alive, and finally after a mammoth rescue operation all twelve boys and their coach are out and safe.

Shelving Stuff Ups

It seems to be a case of all brawn and no brain. The people responsible for putting the shelves back into place after the carpet laying at the library have become worse and worse at the job the further they progress through the library. The teen book shelves were a complete muddle this morning. The shelving units weren't in the correct position, the individual shelves weren't in the correct slots, shelves weren't aligned and the books weren't even in alphabetical order. How hard is A,B,C? Why would you place books upside down and back to front? I'm not sure if the workers are stupid, lazy, careless or all three.
