The day after a night shift is when my temper often bubbles just underneath the surface

I wish I could be a better person when I am knackered.

But I can't .

Today a woman stopped to buy eggs

She wanted duck eggs there and then

So I had to schlep across the field to check the duck house to retrieve them

I only had five and so I only charged her  £1

But she wasn't happy

Now, ducks are not the cleanest of birds 

So I rinsed the eggs in the water butt before I handed them over..but even so

the woman sort of turned her nose up when I boxed them in front her of her

she pointed a perfectly manicured red finger nail at one of the hastily  collected and rather grubby eggs and asked rather haughtily

" is that mud?" 

I just couldn't be arsed with her

" No it's SHIT !" I said shortly
