...also found that one of my clients hasn't had a contract from the Job Centre renewed because "The person responsible is on holiday and their stand-in doesn't know about it" If I said what I think of them the Mods would have a meltdown but considering the influence they have on vulnerable people, and for the salary they get I'd expect them to be a lot more professional than this.

My colleague who has responsibility for communication with the Job Centre, has kicked some A*se and the paperwork has magically arrived. As our clients really need the daily routine for work this is very important.
One of the great things about working here is having professional colleagues who care for the clients and have steel capped boots...

I might suggest Hindemith's Symphonic Metamophosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber.

Weirdly, that was on the Proms earlier this week.

They've put the cathedral clock to the correct time again. It seems to lose about ten minutes every few weeks and then they correct it.

I'd agree with both the comments below ...

They are specially designed to train our cyclists for the downhill racing events .

Yep, my suspension was bouncing on the CR-V. The roads of Montenegro were better.

Don't say you weren't warned. I think the downhill MTB course for the World Championships in Scotland was smoother than some of the roads I rode up there a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the warning, but ...

Should son no. 1 get the job, and we'll wait and see, there'll be a lot more visits to the area.

And on that note Downham Market should be on the 'nice' towns list, but Kings Lynn which we also looked at is basically a car park.

I might be in trouble as earlier I put all the pants , socks and handkerchiefs all in the same wash no matter what colour they were.
All seem to have come out the same colour

But what it really means is that whoever is left in the office is not happy about that. Their tactic is to kick the job down the road for the responsible when they return.
Urlaubstermine Verteiligung!

torrential rain today. not looking forward to checking the basement later

it was dry as a bone & even the sump pump wasn't dealing with anything. I guess the torrential downpours were scattered enough to miss my town. got lucky there
