If I thought the new job was too easy, I think I now know why. I was waiting for someone to tell me what I wasn't doing and what I should be doing and now they have! Nothing insurmountable or irretrievable but from now on I think my days are going to be more than full. That also encourages me to try to be a bit more disciplined about the blog so news should be more regular.
It always makes church interesting when the vicar announces he has had a crisis of faith (he was after all preaching on faith) but thankfully the emphasis was on HAD so he was able to share how he came through and the lessons for all in that process. A stirring and emotional sermon that will stay with us for a long time I am sure.
So what else has been happening in the electronic world of FabAl and his diaries?
Hugh (he's the one with four legs) is fully recovered from his surgery and back to his bouncy ways and streaking across the fields in pursuit of other dogs, rooks, seagulls, the occasional rabbit and his imagination. The egret has returned to the stream that runs along to boundary with the golf course and the peregrine is becoming more habituated to walkers although he still keeps just enough distance to ensure you never get quite the look at him that you want. It is to be hoped that skylarks will soon be in evidence again but the very waterlogged ground must be bad for them.
Talking of being water logged, the journey to work has been interesting over the last few days with the road flooded in several places and a broken water main in Sewardstone Road just for good measure.
The good news is that we now have a shower that works rather than trickles. Mr Plumber at B&Q was most helpful as opposed to Homebase "If you can't see it we don't sell it". The shower works so well that Tim managed to flood the bathroom floor to wading depth before coming down and telling everyone "the shower works". Clearing up doesn't seem to appear in his list of accredited skills.
Saturday also brought a trip to the dump. Very cathartic - until you rember just why you were keeping that thingumyjig in the first place. We are not a particularly IT literate house so I am not sure how three pc's managed to be included in the recylcing.
Speaking of which, Joanna now has a new second hand (if you see what I mean) pc and is live on the internet in her own right. No I am not going to give you her address just in case you sell it to 1 million mail order and direct advertising companies. I get quite enough viagra and Nigerian investment opportunities for both of us
Despite having so much to say, news is in short supply so that is it for this post but do keeping looking and something interesting may just turn up over the next few weeks
