Been a busy day

Sadly yes

This is very true, but in this case it was not the parents it was the leaders themselves. I love Guiding and Scouting, they are both a huge part of my life, I just don't always love the people in it.

We often say we are the cheapest babysitting in town, but the kids really do get so much out of it, it does amaze me how many parents think we get paid though....

Not a lot has changed over twenty years then.

I'm aware that when Beavers started, they were looking at starting another group, aged three and up that would overlap the lower end of Beavers. All in an attempt to bring numbers up.

Made my feelings clear at County level, along with a few other that we were fast becoming the nations largest unpaid child minding service. Very well received, I'll say that.

You'll know how I helped put one place on the map. Even now it's still talked about. Nervous first time campers having been told the tale, refusing to walk around on their own.

Today at work has been the dullest thing on the planet. Even the patients in the waiting room were falling asleep........

Send out a letter, by return of post marked urgent, informing all leaders of the requirement to attend the next meeting.

Failure to attend may result in their Annual Warrant Review being brought forward.

I can't do that, we don't do Annual; reviews any more .

Do they know that though!

Sadly yes.

Say that as outgoing D.C., part of the paperwork you're required to fill in, requires that all warrants be checked as though you'd done so on an annual basis. Try and make it sound as though you're looking forward to doing this part.

Engineer is trying to repair it currently.[/QUOTE]
26 deg too hot for me

Today the weather has been lovely and mild during the day, though it started with a mist and it looks like another is rolling in tonight! We now have the tree in the living room so that will be no fires unless really cold for the next couple of weeks!

Well that's a new one! I received an automated phone call this afternoon saying that my credit card had been compromised and that I should press 1 immediately. So I put the phone down.

If anybody wanted my lap this evening, sorry it's occupied.

I'm listening to The Beatles Red Album (on vinyl).

The baby horse came and spoke with me tonight (I did most of the talking), had a good sniff (I obviously don't smell too bad to horses) and let me rub her neck, which she seemed to enjoy.

Got dragged around a stately home today.

OK, so the gingerbread house was quite good.
