Earlier on I was thinking of a bright idea of converting a Stannah stair lift so that I could use it to ride a bike up the wooden hill when I become old and infirm.

But then I realized that I usually get off and walk up steep hills ! Doh! :wacko:
 
Just had the first really open conversation with one of my clients about his addictions. It is so very frustrating that just as I'm gaining the trust of the people I work for, the bean counters are refusing to continue funding for my position.

This means the organisation will be less effective and so will I beccause I'll need to start again from zero and build up trust for another year or two with a new set of clients.
 
Took Poppy to the vet for her dental early doors. *wibble*

Then off to Tesco for some tins of pate-style cat food - the only thing I bought. Lots of stuff in the YS cabinets and bins, but nothing I needed. Was tempted by the tins of choccy biskits in there though... :whistle:

Ran a few errands in town; LBS, art shop, wilkinsons, discount shop and savers.

Forgot milk, so a utility ride on Wiggy #2, the Chartres, to Littleport for 4 pints.

About to have a bite of lunch.

I once temped as a post boy at The Shell Centre on London's South Bank - at the time the largest office building in Western Europe. When I told my line manager I was moving on, he groaned 'It's always the same...they spend a fortnight getting completely lost, then just when they're starting the get the hang of it, they leave.'

I think my Chief may well say the same about me when I go.

Finally got my son's Company Tax return in - It hadn't been copied over when we did the annual accounts return, but my son ignored the 'letters', and as he only has access, he landed himself a fine. Got them done today, and he now has to 'appeal' to see if they will withdraw the fine (he hasn't made any profits yet).

Back pain has meant I've not been in work today - stress related due to shenanigans going on at work - seems to be a trigger for my lower back, hence avoiding stress where I can !

Local supermarket have got their window decorating started for the coming Tour.

One blindingly obvious mistake made ruined all their efforts. The Yorkshire Flag upside down!
What, no flat cap at the top...?
