Picked up a couple of reindeer lights from Homebase's sale yesterday - £30 each and about 3 foot tall. SIL/BIL's shop is selling some, and even in their sale they are over £70 going onto £150.

Right, time to feed the cats and settle down to watch the football. Humans will be fed at half time.

That didn’t take long!
Yes, it’s a lovely walk. There’s a white horse cut into the chalk too, which is even whiter than usual now that it’s covered in snow.

Chicken wraps for tea.
Wrap, chilli sauce, tomato, cucumber, air fried breaded chicken steak, sliced into stripe, grated cheese, gherkin.
Slightly hot, fresh, tasty, hopefully healthy

I need to take my contact lenses out but that involves getting off the sofa and going upstairs. Today’s swim, walk and parents evening seem to have exceeded my post-covid energy limit. Also, the car charging cable will reach the socket on the car even if I’ve parked the car nose-in rather than reversing onto the drive

Is that an L2 at the edge of the field, to the bottom left?Is his first name Eric?
I have been reacquainting myself with exercise this week. Today was a slow but satisfying swim, followed by a very cold walk.

I have a house full of women. They're making up a whole pile of Christmas boxes for a range of families in need and the house has been the repository of various items for the past week.
I've left them alone. But there is a decent, and continuous, supply of mince pies being sent my direction

It's sort of developed: there's been a big push for a few years to change social care for people with long term mental and psychological disabilities: we have protected workshops but the idea is that people with disabilities should be able to work in "normal" companies. Originally the idea was that individuals with 30-50% disability be given financial assistance so companies have no financial disincentive to employ them, but then they realised that this wasn't working because a normal small business has no experience dealing with people with learning difficulties, depression, or someone on the more obvious end of the Autism Spectrum, so now there's a big drive to get companies a certification, and with that comes some basic training so people know what to expect.
Unfortunately in this case it isn't: people starting or changing their companies need to have a quick rundown of symptoms of the more common disabilities, or at least know where to look for them, a basic understanding of the law, who qualifies for assistance, and where to send them, what rights potential employees will have. They also need a few sessions where they learn to put together a basic training session for someone with learning difficulties. What they're getting is basic management, which will probably be useful but isn't specific to the field we work in.
One more day to go. Hopefully it aill be less boring than today, and then I can get back to doing my job...
Every day’s a school day, yes I think so! There are a few of them, I believe scheduled to be removed and the power taken underground instead. I don’t mind pylons so I do wonder about the cost of that, and all the digging that will need to be done. A lot of people are very happy about returning the view to how it used to be and I can understand that point of view too.

Speaking for myself on that piece in bold. But I've found that other peoples attitudes to someone with a disability, can be a bigger barrier than the disability is to the person living with it. Especially when they're uncertain.
I've gone with the "let me prove you're right"* attitude. Not the let me prove you wrong. Some people are keen to see you fail, proving them right. And harder for the next person who comes along.
We used to have a guaranteed interview scheme over here, which I feel was counter productive. Guaranteed interview for a job I knew I couldn't do. Often for simple legal reasons. Usual being those involving driving, I'm not legally allowed to drive.
*They feel I can't do the job, so let me prove them right. It throws them slightly as it's not the usual response.

Cost, about £7,000,000 a pylon to remove and replace with underground cables.
