What's this Brexit you talk of @Andy in Germany ?

Oops: Apologies, wrong thread. I shouldn't post before drinking tea...

Will delete...

As the weather report says it will be warm, I'm going to cycle to Esslingen with only one coat.

Of paint ?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Of paint ?

Honestly...

I'd already edited it from fleece because I thought someone (I'm looking at you @classic33) would make a comment...

Ugh. Writing more applications. Trouble is that the Employment Agency keep pushing me to apply for places I don't want to work in.

I go past your dad's old house on one of my routes to work.

I have many happy memories of my childhood there.

Morning.
Has anyone lost a spider ?
One keeps running across our carpet .

Sat in the office coffee in hand feet on desk no Tinternet on any work machine or phone, can't work till IT guy arrives somewhere around 9. I've reset what I can but there is a bleeping in the server room that doesn't sound good.

Do you have to write a letter ?
If so could they find their way into the wrong envelopes ?

All done by EMail, and the Employment Agency send notifications to the companies when I get a 'recommendation'.

If it gets really bad I'll call the company and tell them to save time by sending me a rejection letter. I wouldn't email them in case they forward it to the Employment Agency.

I find that most things with agency attached seem to involve incompetence.

Incompetence, very little accountability, and when dealing with unelmployed people, a lot of power over individuals. It's a bad combination.

On an other Tinternet note, Vodafone want to swap out my router so they have to deliver one & collect the old one at the same time, great idea just one flaw they said they would advise so I can make arrangements. Their idea of advising is a text at 8am the the router is arriving between 1 & 2 whilst I am 20 miles away

Had the woodburner lit yesterday, not a big fire just on long enough to warm the chimbly up and dry it out before I sweep it in readiness for t'winter. Now I've got to take the stove apart to get the brush up there hopefully without breaking any of the 'firebricks' which are very fragile (and about £30 each to replace)
