Another working week draws to an end for me

@DCLane I learnt early, be upfront and play to the strengths not the differences. If they don't get you don't need them.

I wish recruiters would see it the same way: son no. 1's still job-hunting despite an MEng plus full professional accreditation and company project experience.

Odd that it was only 6 months ago when firms were crying out for well qualified staff, particularly engineers! Seems to have gone off a cliff-edge?

Walking to mums, someone had put out a 4x halogen ceiling fitting with 4x LED halogens in it, dumped by a bin area.
4x LED bulbs retrieved, now In my possesion.

Finally got the thermostat working, just in time for tomorrows cold snap.

Had a lovely luncheon consisting of a sausage sandwich (with a dab of mustard), an apple, a banana, half an avocado and two

Only felled and cleared up most of two oak trees. That was because I didn't quite get the placement of the cuts right, and one of them ended up dangling in its neighbour, and it took me aaaaaages to UN-dangle it. Ditto a couple of dead ash branches that I lopped off. I must be out of practice to make the same mistake more than once...

Anyways, it's really good quality firewood, and it's now all in lengths of around three and a half feet. I'll haul it in tomorrow, and then I can make a start on cutting it up.

My shoulders, arms and hips are aching rather thoroughly after all of the pulling, and pushing and yo-heave-hoing... Who needs a gym when there's the heating to feed?

Now sat down with a and a couple of chocolate biskits.

I've cancelled this morning's perambulation. Pavements covered in compacted, frozen snow. It's just too much risk of a unintentionally taking a lie down.

Yes, Cassie had a truncated walk this morning. not sure about tomorrow.

Same here! Had one cumberland sausage ring left from last night, warmed it up then went mad with butter and english mustard, yum!
Chilly day grub alright

Having a 5 year old granddaughter, your mention of a frozen hat brought this to mind.

Some have woken up to the positives neurodiversity brings to a work force and are openly looking and welcoming to it.
Sadly it's not widespread as it needs to be.

I guess you don't cut the trees from the top down like some.

Worked with my son on cleaning up after having moss removed from the roof. He spent his time up a ladder, while I worked at ground level. Very pleasant. At least I know my skills at getting a screwdriver to turn a screw with a rusted worn head haven't deserted me. I've spent a lot of time doing it.
