Mundane News

Generally not a bad day with some sunshine but also heavy hail showers.
All delivery notes, receipts and assorted paper work has been chucked into a tray for the last 10 years at least and in my unsuccessful search for my medical records I decided it was time for a clear out so spent most of the day sorting through this heap. Any reference to banking or anything which could be identified has to get separated. If put in the paper bin it is a remote chance somebody with ill intent could make use of them. Remote but possible and I am probably being a bit paranoid but better shredded before dumping.
This will probably take about a week but I am trying to declutter.
It looks like a full moon or nearly anyway and people I know like MSP’s, Councillors or teachers are convinced it has an influence on public behaviour. Could explain a lot.

The moon was incredibly bright this morning. I thought it was a security light at first.

If I ignore requests, I first get a claw in the backside, and then if I ignore that, Madam bites my nose. Given that I would prefer to remain intact and unbloodied...

And you think she says 'please'?

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

Berzerk is very noisy.. It's one of those industrial units converted to a play centre. Lots of padding around the pillars and posts to stop hurtling kids breaking too many bits & pieces..
Kids love it! Parents etc love the fact that the kiddies are knackered by the time they leave

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.

My blue wheelie bin still has not been emptied.

There are several bins blown over in my Close.

Less?

Poppy will eat flowers and pot plants. She's never tried eating the crocheted bouquet that mum made a while back.

Dry outside and not yet windy but forecast again is for gales later.
Looking at Sunday forecast I will have to go down and negotiate with Calmac to change my ferry booking. I have an appointment in Oban on Tuesday so to be sure of getting there I was going to travel on Sunday. Looks like I will have to postpone till Monday as worse gales are promised on Sunday.
Another joy of island life but not as bad as Tiree who had no ferry for I think 3 weeks due to bad weather. They were having to delve into the big freezers which are kept full for such occasions.

The storm has reached latitude 53

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.

Sounds like he really appreciates you & wants to keep you.

Seems we have a lull & the sun is shining through the window & blinding me.

Sounds like he really appreciates you & wants to keep you.

It has to be said I really respect him too; he's a good boss and genuinely seems to care for his employees and clients. He has a lot of experience in the sector and is generally available when we need him.

My work day is done.

A few more minutes here, plus cashing up the till.

I'm off to make a

Fingers crossed.

Thanks. The organisation is well respected locally; it belongs 50% to the local towns apart from anything else, so I suspect a few people in the local authority are trying very hard to make things work out quickly.
Apart from that, if it doesn't work out they have to find an alternative for training and rehabilitation for quite a lot of people...

Well I've been asleep for most of the day . Normally I would be back to normal after a nap but not today . I feel as though I have a slight headache .
It is very windy here and has been raining quite a lot . Oh! Our dustbin has been emptied . There will be a different day for collection in future .
