Off for a stroll down to the village later; our Estate Agent is back off holiday and she said she might have some news for us today. Fingers crossed.

I had an interesting conversation with the carer this morning, the care company is Spanish owned and they are closing the UK operation, the carers themselves found out from their clients, they don't call us patients these days, we all had letters telling us it was closing, they only told the carers when they kicked off about it, we're waiting for the council to tell us where we're going, a lot of the clients are upset, they've had the same people looking after them for years.

Good morning all.
Looks like it might be a nice ish day today. There are just a few little clouds in the sky.

Do you mean per month or per annum? Surely to goodness you would know where it was coming from if that is per month!

Must admit I was thinking similar. A £15k lump sum and £1855/month didn't compute........I was going to ask Dave to sub me for Strava.....

So an elderly Italian man living alone in New Jersey wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,

I found out that I was being made redundant from the local radio who broadcast the news before our scheduled meeting with management

So wrong for so many reasons.
