Unfortunately it isn't that simple; I'm supposed to supervise the clients, and they're supposed to do things like sweeping; part of their trianing, and to be frank some of thm don't have the intellectual capacity to do more complex things, so if I was sweeping, they'd be standing round. My job is to figure what they can do and organise their work day so they aren't just sweeping but have some variety within their abilities.

Trying to clean a shop, while it's open, isn't as easy as it sounds. That's knocked the sweeping up on the head, what about the other things mentioned?

Gotta lead by example.

My usual medical consultant has as I suspected retired so got a new one who looks not much out of his teens.
One of the effects of getting old.
Anyway my heart is still beating albeit with an "interesting" rhythm. On previous hospital visits students were summoned from all sorts of places to listen to it. I am to get another scan to keep tabs on the deterioration but it really will need a new valve if I survive long enough. Mind you at my age it is probably a low priority for the medics who have younger patients with a longer life expectancy and more urgent conditions. I can only be philosophical and accept it.
While I was away I "borrowed" Openreach's traffic cones to discourage the holiday home tenants from pinching my parking spot. They just lie there often for weeks unused but today just after I returned home somebody appeared to delve into the pit full of cables but fortunately I had returned them by then.

South Western Rail have donated a hand sanitiser dispenser to the museum. I can’t help thinking it might be a touch early.

Madam Poppy has been eyeing them up, so I've moved them to where she can't get them.

Oh, there were a few; In the morning a client was getting used to working on the till which means I couldn't do very much because I was on call, and then in the afternoon I'd assigned the client the task of cleaning some of the shelves, so I couldn't do that in the morning. and counting jigsaw puzzles, which is fine but if I then did the next job she'd have got bored.

You sound just like an area manager I knew. She'd start something in order to get out of actually doing it.

classic, sounds like me. just kidding, sorry for their ailments. we took a cat in for diagnosis & a checkup because it had been howling/screeching rather than meowing. they discovered over active thyroid & it's on meds now. the screeching hasn't stopped, I think it's from hearing loss. when we go back for labs in a cpl weeks, I'll ask for them to address my hunch. best of luck with your kitty. I'm sure it has no lack of love & attention

Our's makes a different noise to a meow and the vet said it's to do with dementia

I find this one of the more stressful parts of the job on quiet days. I prefer busy days because there's enough work to go around and I don't have to invent things, and I can join in without other people getting bored.

It'll be worse if tomorrow is quiet. The jobs you created today, won't need doing tomorrow. Leaving you to find something else to do.

That was on my mind all day...

Fortunately shelf cleaning is a staple that can keep people occupied and as soon as more donations come in clients can work on those.

Next week I'm travelling to a protected workshop in the next town with one client in the hope that will be a long term solution; we aren't really set up to help her.

You'll be carrying them there as a passenger on your bike?

I checked the tuning on the two guitars that don’t get played often and played them. I still prefer the cheapie sparkly one over the proper grown-up APX
