One day away from a fortnight off work and, for the first time in years, I’ve not had to drag myself over the finish line. Looking forward to a pleasant last day tbh.
Also, got a letter saying I paid too much tax last year and can have it back.

Im back in France for 3 weeks and am loving it. Dont think theres a day we’re here that’s forecast to go under 25. Just been in the sea and im now on the sofa drinking red wine. When i get back i have a week of mincing about at work including my leaving do before i start my new job, i have convinced my team to get me a decent leaving present instead of some nonsense so theyre getting me a voucher for my tattooist. Big up y’all, hope you’re all good xxx

I regularly see seals where I am. I am out in the water pretty much daily all year round though. If there are other people around I’m always taken aback by the fact that they don’t see them when they’re so obvious to me. Even more surprising is the number of people, even ones with little kids with them, who, when I point out the seals to them, are just not at all interested. A lot of people are dicks, mind.

How can you not be stoked to see a seal? I thought my kids’ heads were going to explode the first time we saw one together in North Yorkshire.

I saw one a few years ago and was basically all I talked about for a week.

Just remembered the first time I took my kids to the Tynemouth Aquarium. The smiles on their faces were amazing. Such rad sea dogs, haha.

For all my befuddlement around,and moaning about, people being dicks and not caring, there are the times when they’re not, which makes my taking the trouble to point out the seals* absolutely worthwhile.
When they take the time and have the patience to wait and look, and little kids faces light up with amazement and stoke on seeing a real ‘wild animal’, it’s magic and it’s why I’ll brace for the likely disappointment and feeling of wasting my time and continue to ask total strangers, ‘have you guys seen the seal(s)?’. For me, regardless of how often I see them, it never gets old.
*same goes for other wildlife or natural phenomena that the general public for some reason or other seem to be oblivious to.
