Rabbit Thought of the Day

I have just got back from my day trip out, and what a fantastic day it’s been, I don’t know where the rain that was forecast was but it certainly was anywhere near me.  I am not complaining but it’s been warm and sunny all day.

Rainham marches were not too busy a few people about but defiantly not crowded, I managed to see a Grey Heron, Little Egret a Hobby, and a weasel. I took over 130 pictures, we will see what they have turned out later.

I hope your day was as good as mine.

Time to get ready, a shower and shave is required before I go out, Rosemary is almost ready, who says woman take ages, not in Rosemary’s case. Hope you all have agreat day am sure I will!

Is anybody having difficulties with the tanker drivers strike? I normally fill up about a every week to 10 days and I use under ¾ of a tank of fuel to get to work a week. I haven’t even thought about filling up the car as yet, however the media is reporting people panic buying, but I have seen no evidence of this. Is the media once again fuelling (sorry no pun intended) public hysteria, it seems that way to me.

Am not a union man and never be a union man, from reading our media it seems the strikers have turned down a pay offer that see them earn over £41,000 a year by 2009, of course the union refute (then again they would) this and have stated this is possible only after overtime. The real figure would be more £36,000 (still not a bad wage) remember by law they can only drive a limited number of hours a day.

Shell who do not employ the drivers have stayed out of the argument, however if Shell contains to lose custom then they main review the contracts of the haulage firms, which would result in the wages of the drivers dropping to zero, when they don’t have any work. Not a pleasant thought!

The Irish have thrown the Europe in chaos after yesterday no vote on the ‘Treaty of Europe’. Our Government won’t even give us the opportunity to have a referendum mainly because they know that probably be a resounding NO!

Governments in the European Union are exploring what to do after the Irish Republic's rejection of the Lisbon Treaty to reform the expanded EU. France and Germany have described the No vote in the referendum as a serious blow but have urged the EU to press ahead with the project.

My team in the sweepstake managed to do well again last, they managed to dispatch France 4-1. So In they last two matches they have beaten the owrld champions and the losing finalist.

Come on Holland!!

Up early on what looks like a lovely day, despite what the weather forecast says. Rosemary and I are off out first thing there a  couple of things she needs, then I am dropping her off at home and I'm off to Rainham Marshes once again.

Hopefully I will have great walk round the wet lands, and take some pictures. I stll have posted the pictures I took last week, I suppose I better get on to it.
