I get a new job at the same place on March first, until I start driving again. I am in the "good job" with folks I like, still on day shift.

I've found my teaching certificate, or more accurately, my "certificate of exemption from providing evidence of professional training under the ordinance of the aptitude of instructors" because Germans never let one word suffice when a sentence could do the same job.
Essentially it means that because I've got as much* training in pedagogy and teaching methods as a chamber of commerce trained instructor, I can teach people on the basis of my existing qualifications, but they don't like to admit this is the case so I'm officially "exempted".
It took six months of badgering the Chamber of Commerce to get this certificate so I don't want to lose it...
*Over 20 times as much, to be precise; 280 hours + practice as opposed to about 10 hours training.

However much you would like to, please avoid visiting Speicher Towers over the next month.
The lounge is going to be redecorated and have new carpet over the coming weeks. Most of the lounge furniture is now distributed across the other rooms, so the whole house is a giant muddle. It would be good if you could have visited, and then helped me thin out the china/glass/tableware that I have accumulated over a lifetime.
I think I will ask some of my neighbours, the ones that have parties (in normal times) if they would like some glasses.
Also what is the best way of storing cds? It is not until I had to move them all that I realised how many there were.
Please avoid suggesting that I load them onto a memory stick. Call me old-fashioned (or a taxi) but I like the cds and their cases.

I have shelves and shelves of Cd's. I too have had to pack a load to move. Can't have too many shelves for CD'sand books if you ask me. The best bit about moving is I get a whole room just as a work room. Jewellery and crafting in one corner, bike stand and assorted bike tools and stuff at the other end.

I think so long as they are all in individual cases, they can all go in a box, sorted alphabetically, maybe? I know VHS tapes are best stored flat & not standing up, because over time the rolled reels of tape will droop & distort physically. but CDs are hard plastic, so just protect the surfaces

I will sort them by genre. Classical, folk music, "World" music etc.
I have various sizes of robust baskets to sort them into.

I am on the big screen,no not the pictures.I am on the computer .and no i will not fall off.Just been looking at mountain bike tyres,impressed how cheap they are,and they are good quality well known brands plus inner tubes in some cases.I have spent the morning giving the five bikes a look over and pumped the tyres up,i was able to sit out in the slightly better weather also,very nice.

Something like this for your CD's?

Mild, breezy and overcast here chez Casa Reynard.
Am currently listening to Arsenal v Manchester City.
I have spent the day making a prototype right front stub axle for the Higman. Well, I think it will probably end up being used anyway - the benefit of doing proper drawings. The only thing left is to work out how to attach the top wishbone. But I need to make that first...
Have also learnt that some types of card are easier to drill holes in than others. The grey stuff that you get on the back of pads of paper is not very good. It just generates a LOT of fluff. Note to self - don't use it for small, fiddly parts.
