Spring clean
We've just finished our quarterly neighbourhood litter pick. Glorious early Spring day . . I managed to get sunburn despite it only being 8°C 🙄
124 sacks filled. It never gets any easier.
Joining us today was our daughter's special guest, the fastfood marketing director that she savaged last November when he came to talk to her class:

My girl is still far from convinced about this man's commitment to his company's environmental mission, so she had challenged him to join us today to see just how bad the littering problem is from one of his branches. The poor chap was doing his best to enter into the spirit of the day, but 14yo decided he was not putting in enough effort and yanked him into her work section where she could keep a close eye and offer some pearls of wisdom. These generally consisted of common phrases she has heard me use around the home - "polluter must pay", "don't burden future generations", "lousy capitalist b**tards", etc 😅
Our executive was looking more and more like he was seriously considering swapping his career for a life of quiet contemplation in a monastery, when his misery was made complete by the arrival of the local press. Turns out that there is not much wriggle room when your face, name and profession are about to be made public and you are asked by a reporter whether or not you will be joining the next big clean up 🤣
Anyhow, in addition to the work experience that most of her class will be undertaking next term, daughter has now secured herself an additional week in the summer shadowing the board at headquarters and learning more about food technology. I think this is what is known in the trade as "stuffing their mouths with gold"💰
If he thinks he is going to shut up my daughter as easily as that, he has quite a shock coming 🤣🤣🤣
