Well that's Nanowrimo done and dusted! Not a whole novel, not even a nice one, but something to play with once I've got some of the other stuff out of the way. I can play with that tomorrow because I'm out on strike!!

I've never gone on strike before. It's an utterly pointless exercise because there are plenty of non-union people who have jumped at the chance to cover my hours. But I am a union member and the majority have voted to strike so I will too. The reason for it is that the government is fiddling round with our pensions so that we'll have to work much longer in order to get a much reduced pension. Personally, I reckon that the money to get our arses out of hock has to come from somewhere but I don't see why I should have to give up a bit of my little when there are people who get to keep all of their LOTS. HMG is welcome to larger contributions from me when they start taxing - ooh, maybe bankers bonuses? That might raise a few bob.

Yes, if it made a difference I would have gone in, but all that's happening is that I have to do the jobs tomorrow that I would have done today. As it is I'm fact checking for the guide book I'm writing for the museum so I'm sort of working, in an oblique kind of way.
