and who can blame them when they are faced with this:
They are using huge bales of straw to suck up the sludge at the bottom of the lake, and quite honestly, it resembles tar.
By all accounts the plan is to use bobcats to push the muck up to one end having bunged up the bridge so that they can do it in two halves.
All pictures were taken with my phone yesterday:

Walking along the prom and up to the cafe for lunch, the beach was magnificent as the tide was right out, probably the furthest we’ve seen it.
Makes you feel quite insignificant actually.
Huge difference. So sad looking.
All being well things will return to normal in the New Year
I’m so happy for you and your husband. You both set such a beautiful example that you can get through anything together.
God Bless you both! š
We try Beckie. We might not have a lot, but we have a lot more than some and share when we can.

I trust you mean the Bobcat backhoes and not actual bobcats…
yeah, the little tiny diggers………… real bobcats could be interesting!.
Poor Mother Nature, we’ve done such a number on her…
The lake should have been drained last year apparently, and this year was contaminated by blue/green algae which was poisonous if not deadly to dogs and animals, yet the ducks and geese were OK. We have an idea where the geese have gone but not the ducks, and there were only a handful there yesterday when there should be around two hundred.
Humanity, man…
yep. They chucked in chlorine as an interim measure and killed the fish.
That sounds like something the government would do.
oh yeah.
