Evening all . Not done much today , other than take my daughter to anther interview and water the garden . Then spent the rest of day hiding from the sun .
Looking at tomorrow’s forecast, its for more of the same but even hotter. So it looks like I will be hiding from the sun again , in the afternoon at least, as I’ve got a hair appointment in the morning and I am sailing in the evening .
Have a good evening folks .

May i offer a 'tip' to your daughter (which she probably knows anyway). But experience taught me that this really works.
1.No matter what the prospective job is.....research the company any its products.
2. Think of at least one, may 2, good questions to ask eg "i notice that you obtain xyz products from abroad country. Why is that, as against xyz country"?
3. Look for the opportunity to interject with that question. It really helps
It will stay in the mind of the interviewer.
And tell her...... statistically, she will be better than at least 50% of the applicants. Dressing appropriately and presenting herself correctly will narrow it down to 25%.
That research/question might just swing it in her favour.
Tell her we on CC are routing for her.

Morning all.
Coffee has been consumed. Next up is a glass of milk and a kitkat. Then I will head out for my walk.
I have a new route in mind which I hope is not too ambitious.....I will report back.
Have a good day peeps.

Good morning all.
Like most places it's going to be 30⁰÷ today.
A very early walk with the dog and then a bit of watering to be done. My tomatoes are suffering badly at the moment.
