Conversation with Boss completed.

They want me to stay; and staff and clients alike are happy with my work. However...

As of yesterday (!) there's a serious, ie expensive, practical problem in the medium term, and they need to sort it our before making any contracts happen. The boss it trying to resolve it; such are the joys of working for an NGO where things are held together with string.

If they can annoy enough agencies that things start moving in the next few weeks all will be well; otherwise they can't employ me in the short term...

Pleased you get to keep doing what you're doing.

Grey, mild and very blustery here chez Casa Reynard. It was sunny till about 10 mins ago.

One of my cherry plums is brave enough to start flowering. Winter aconites are just about done and dusted, but there are loads of snowdrops everywhere. My mahonia is also starting to flower.

I have spent the morning making a start on touching up some scans of prints and slides that I was given about 25 years ago. When I have finished, I can make a new set of prints and then file them in my archive. They require a fair bit of work as they are very dust-specked. So it may take me a while.

It is almost time for luncheon.

I'll always be able to do that: in the worst case scenario I'll have to find another job, but my reference is likely to be very good, and there's a shortage of Occupational Therapists.

I would like to keep working here though, so I'm really hoping the problems will be resolved. I know more than I really should be cause The Boss was very frank about the issues on the understanding that I don't tell anyone else in the organisation for a week or two.

Fingers crossed.

Lovely ride before the rain arrives. Feels really mild.

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's all the wood bins filled up in the house.

The sun's actually managed to break through some stormy-looking clouds. But the wind is already bending the trees a fair bit.

Hot chocolate drink time

It'd take more than three to make off with it. They'd do better cooperating with each other.

I beg to differ,should that be coo operating.

My word Mr and Mrs P got a walk in this morning plus two lattes each and I had a chip butty.Since we got back rain and now darkness with a howling wind.My word next is a homemade latte and some homemade bananna loaf cake with a maple drizzle topping.

The sky is clearing after looking ominously dark earlier.

Well, it's finally stopped raining here, but everything is ankle deep in water. Hope there's still enough moisture left in the clouds to rain on @classic33

My blue wheelie bin has still not been emptied.

Had wholemeal bread & butter with Filet Americain for luncheon, along with a pear, a tangerine and two

Shortly before bed last night I realised our black bin hadn't been brought down, nor had our neighbours (we compete to see who can bring the bins down) so I brought both bins down. My point this week.

less chance of the cat eating them, as well LOL...

Less?

We once stopped with the kids at a swimming pool at Armadale, West Lothian. It had glass roof which seemed to bounce back and magnify the noise. It was full of kids and the noise drove us out in a very short time. We were touring in the days before campsites became more sophisticated and we used swimming pools for showers as well as swimming.

I always got the impression that the Suncenter in Rhyl was like that. Never went in there.
