Especially as this is about helping people with disabilities in the workplace, something I've been trained in and have some experience of, and the person running the course has neither.



She's getting well paid, and to be fair she probably is helping most of the attendees, who generally aren't trained and/or don't have much experience.

Unfortunately a number of the things she's said are going to cause more harm than good.

Perhaps you should suggest you do the training in future.

Not a cloud in the sky today, would have been a lovely commute, fell out of bed with Covid trying to feel OK this morning - seemed to hit my chest yesterday evening - rifled through the 'drugs' box and found some decongestant. Seems more like a clogged up stinky cold with me. Breathing OK so might risk 'self service' at the supermarket (I won't breath on anyone) for more drugs as we're out of ibuprofen - alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen. Moved a few meetings to Teams !

I also need to get my wife some flowers as it's 20 years since her brother died of a brain tumour ! That's most important, covid or not.

Watch your sats covid can often bring on silent hypoxia long before anyone has clue about it.

Thanks - aware of that having had oxygen levels around 86 when I broke my spine/ribs

He's an improvement, what's more!
Not actively trying to subvert democracy and the workings of government. Good enough considering the alternatives.

Doesn't appear to be an improvement & wasn't the COVID nonsense pretty harmful to democracy.

And what's truly bonkers is that apparently the Republicans are looking at impeaching him...

(according to the BBC)

That would be a good move, although he's probably not the one running things.

Slightly better news - the long going saga of selling MIL's house... buyers have been trying to get more and more out of 'us' following a survey - lot. Goodness know's where the surveyor got their figures from, major crack was old ceiling wall paper with too much paint on it, consumer unit not to standard - nope, but it was to standard when fitted as confirmed by our electrician, no earthing on gas meter, same, confirmed by our electrician there is earthing... the list goes on.

Buyer's wanted £8k off, then £4k. We said no. They then said 'OK we'll have to pull out', we said fine, the house was priced to sell and you won't find another 4 bed detached for anything like the price. We re-listed. Buyers finally said, 'ah OK we'll take the house'. The guy was a bit of a chancer, and we just said no !

Next challenge, probate - taking an age as there is a backlog !

What Side, WHAT SIDE!!!
What colour is snow? That's a clue.

Only side that matters the other is for pure defence from the dark side.

I'm surprised he had to ask which side.

Got soaked again on the way to work. There was nothing showing on the rain radar app before I left, the rain started shortly afterwards and didn't stop until I got to work. It was only when I checked the main website for the app that there was a notice that they weren't receiving updates from the Met Office which is why no rain was showing on the app.

I have decided to try to replace the shower power switch myself using the unit I linked to yesterday. The main problem is that the wires in the current unit are very short and don't look to give much working room. If I'm not here on Friday evening, it's been nice knowing you all
