Hello Dear Reader, I realised during an evening-time chat the other day with Jenny that we haven’t done much by our usual standards during September. We haven’t been idle, anti-social or boring, but there are reasons... The school summer break is now over and done, so it is back to order on that. Jenny has changed jobs and now works as a Cook/Manager in a Primary School in Esher. Her old job had become a little too familiar and with personnel changes more intense, so after some soul searching she took the step to pastures new. Her new role also has the serious bonus of being school term working only, so she will enjoy all school holidays and will be able to spend more time with daughter, Layla. Very steep learning curves, but I see a good fit for her. First Layla, then Jenny and then I have succumbed to an increasing intensity cold. Layla and Jenny are all but over theirs, but as always seems to happen these days, mine is lingering and has given me an incessant cough. This keeps the me and the whole world awake and leaves me drained and with headaches. I am about three weeks in, and finally < Touch Wood > it seems to be easing, although it does come back at least once a day to remind me what sort of evil bacterial warfare is going on. ‘Temporary’ (hopefully) staffing changes within the two Postrooms supported by my firm have meant that my supervisor has been side-swiped to the Canon Europe office for at least a six week stint. This brings it’s own pressures at the Woodhatch office as obviously his day-to-day workload needs taking up which keeps me pretty busy from 07:00 to 16:30. The office dynamic changes drastically as Allan does a lot of tasks free form and I feel that I am having to juggle many balls and keep them in the air to keep up to date. My downtime when I normally write this blog up has all but disappeared, but blog and website maintenance is not what I am paid to do. So really we have just been taking a slight breather and necessary step back while things get back to normality (whatever that means). However... I bit the bullet and the crumbling front wall has been removed and a replacement fence erected in it’s place. Christmas shopping has started... Layla has stayed in her newly decorated room at mine for a couple of weekends and loves it... (Phew 😊) Yesterday (30 September) we had a trip to Virginia Water and enjoyed a breakfast roll, a couple of lattes and a very enjoyable scoot around most of the lake. <more here> All of which brings you pretty much up to date with goings-on around Planet Ratters.
Pip pip... Let’s be careful out there. Until next time ...
