Day 4
I’ve spent most of today working as a volunteer security guard for the protest. This involved keeping drunk and other disorderly people out initially in the early hours of the day, but later on, it evolved into mostly helping people out, and giving directions in much the same way a tour guide would. The day went very quickly and it was quite a positive and rewarding experience.
It was interesting when a guy started casually ‘interviewing’ the other volunteer guard I was with. He spoke with her for quite some time, and it soon became obvious he was a journalist trying to make a news story, rather than report one. His questions were designed to persuade her around to a certain point of view. She was on to him thou, and said nothing that was useful to him. He left the site several hours later in a non-talkative mood.
The police have been steadily reducing the area that the protest resides in. They have been letting cars leave the protest area, but not return. This strategy suffered a setback overnight when the protesters managed to move one of the barricades, which allowed some cars to get back in.
This set the scene for another drama that happened just in time for the 6PM news. The Police in riot gear moved forward to allow a forklift to put more blocks in place. The protesters held a line and shouted ‘peace and love’ at the Police, who retreated once their work was completed.
It remains to be seen how this situation will evolve, as reinforcements are likely to turn up for the weekend.

I’m curious about your use of “thou” in place of though. Thou is used, as an example, in the Ten Commandments; Thou shalt not kill….
Though is… well, normal for where you use thou. Is there some deep meaning behind the switch?

That’s a $20 question, which needed a bit of research on Google!.
I should use the word ‘though’. There is no deeper meaning to it, I’m just writing stuff as it comes to mind.
Thank you for your thought provoking comment.
