Its been a lovely sunny day here in North Yorkshire which
coincided with me using up one remaining day of annual holiday.

Lovely afternoon yesterday. But I was in my posh clothes having been out
in the morning, and I was going out again in the evening, and I can't be
doing with forever changing clothes. So I decided cleaning the ponds was
a suitable activity - standing with a fishing net scooping off the
duckweed and a few stray leaves - what could possibly go wrong? And then
the resident oligochaetologist said 'since you're out here ... that
drain was overflowing a bit yesterday ...'
