Not much of a move, but I’m on a different canal now. Blisworth Arm. Leads to the River Nene which has been non-navigable for the last few weeks.
I believe it’s calming down now, and the boats are starting to come past me again.
Blisworth Arm
It’s very quite here. The bird sing a lot.
Last night, there was a fox or some feral animal scouting around the bank side of the boat. Owls screeched in the trees.
I suppose it’s better than the sounds of the A43…
Spent yesterday collecting mushrooms and cycling along the towpath.
Amazon Flex
This Amazon Flex thing has calmed down a lot.
What used to be a limitless amount of work has become nothing.
It’s basically a deal where you pay for your own mileage and petrol.
A lot of the time, it’s not worth your while. A Flex driver on takes on excess from more dedicated drivers, of which I’m not.
I was a nice money spinner over Christmas, not so much now.
