I made homemade oven chips this evening for the first time.

Another one disrupting the electrical ecology of the universe.

Let them understand that it's your job.

You mean, as in "be enthusiastic?" I'll do my best. I told them I needed at least two days because I'm an introvert so day one is just settling in. Day two I can start being a bit more useful...

Fingers crossed !

Another one disrupting the electrical ecology of the universe.

Is this the effect of a butterfly flapping it's wings in South America ?

You do realise that you've upset the delicate electrical ecology! Phone leads, toothbrushes, scales, chips. And that's just the beginning of what you've started. I'd put the old bulb back in before things get out of hand.

I was going to replace the bulb on the landing but now I realise that it might be the final straw for The Planet. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

The Elys 2 cartridge on my Rega tonearm is slightly out of balance...i need to urgently teleport to the hi fi thread

No, it gets worse. I am also concerned that the capacitors have degraded on my 10 year old phono preamp. It may seem mundane to you .....

Its raining in Spain.

Thanks. I think this is correct, as they clearly liked me in the interview last week, and were talking about stuff I'll be doing in a few months time there.

There is also the factor that there are not many Occupational Therapists who are also cabinet makers and have artistic skills, which is what they need.

I should be pretty relaxed, but for the first time in several months of interviews I'm really nervous. It didn't help when someone said "You'll be okay unless you do something really awful" which got me thinking of all the ways I could totally balls up the whole thing...

Do what I did at one interview, sit down on the chair provided and then find yourself telling them where & why the chair gave way. After picking myself up.

You work with wood, so should be able to tell them the weak joints.

i bought a wine glass at Tesco probably an hour ago. I washed it,then put it on the draining rack. I then put a washed cup on there and caught the wine glass causing the stem to break. It was only 50p but for god's sake,it didn't even get to hold some wine before i broke it!

Edit...Just remembered,i jokingly said to the girl on the till that it 'won't last long'. Why didn't i buy a safer sturdier tumbler?

Its raining in Spain.

Mainly in the plain.

It's a local thing. Protestant villages have Kirbe, which is a sort of street market and fair, and a few weeks later Catholic villages have Fasching which is a procession with costumes. That way everyone gets to go to both.



That probably isn't helping, but I suspect the real culprit is nerves about the interview tomorrow...

I thought Fasching was before lent, like Carneval. But I see a number of dates. Very confusing.

 

[Reynard]

I'm back!

Normal service from Casa Reynard is resumed - or what passes for normal service around these parts...

Anyway, in the interim, I seem to have acquired an inordinate number of coloured pencils... This is to add to the rather large number of coloured pencils that I already possess.

Never mind times of the year, the only important thing you need to know about this is Faschingskrapfen.

Wakey wakey

 

[Andy in Germany]

Time to go to that interview.

Thanks for the encouragement and see you on the other side...
