I've had woozies all day .

My tax return is done. Rather than a big bill it seems I'll get a big refund; all part of the transition to teaching from home, all of which I've had to fund myself.

SWMBO also got a smaller refund, but that went into her 'personal' company account rather than into ours

Read an article about new requirements for food importers from 1st Jan 2022. Basically more paperwork. Reading comments below ... and I can still see that lorry driver carrying a massive pile of paperwork to HMRC offices size of a shoe box and even bigger. We were wondering what load he's got.

After a share of morning rumours we find out that there're a few more positive covid cases at work. And another covidiot revealed - a lady who was also coughing badly for some time and she denied she may have covid.

Best advice I can give is to ignore the rumours, go on what's actually happened. At the same time up your own safety, yourself. Simplest is to up your own hygiene levels. Wash your hands more, keep your distance, that sort of thing.
Don't rely on someone else to be doing what they should, to keep you safe.

Here's to you staying safe.

I have made a tentative start to editing the filing cabinet. Lots of very files look like they need to go on a diet. Plus "old" brochures etc.

In doing so, I found my old (aka antique) school reports. One report (at the age of eight years) is rather strange.

For the classes in the morning my spelling, grammar, and pronunciation is described as "very good". However in the afternoon those same skills are described as "poor or even very poor". I assume that I was not asleep, so who can suggest a good reason for the difference in the skills levels between morning and afternoon classes?

A few ideas on the different skill levels in through the day.

Yay!

And in that case, a totally different alphabet as well. And I thought the Cyrillic alphabet was a pain...

So she was (h)indisposed!

Lovely supper of cold roast turkey, piggies in blankets, the last of the roasties, peas, red cabbage and cranberry sauce, followed by the last of the chocolate trifle and half a punnet of raspberries.

The girls had some free range chicken breast.

It's more of information than rumours. Wrong wording from me.
It helps us to make a map and to predict who's possibly will be next. It's pretty much of waiting for unavoidable to happen.

I can try to minimise all contacts but it's impossible to completely avoid it.

Edit: at least nobody was hospitalised because of covid.

I just spent 2 hours waiting at my mum's because she was due to be discharged from hospital this afternoon and she doesn't have her key. Nobody thought to tell me that they'd changed their minds. They rarely think to answer their phones and my mum's was switched off. When I eventually got someone to answer, they told me that they hadn't sorted her medication out in such a way that she knows what to take. And I thought they preferred to get people out of hospital beds as soon as it's safe to do so. Aaargh.

I have been swotting up for my new job. Empty cigarette packet! Time to call it a day.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Piece worth considering, if you feel that you need PPE to stay safe, that's not supplied, you can buy it yourself and claim it back on your tax. Word of caution, buy only what is PPE.
You'll be familiar with the Hi-Vis clothing and hard hats from your forklift driving, even gloves are PPE.

Stay safe.
