Not good enough

If I have to sit through another board meeting like that I shall probably give up. I have been telling them for weeks and now it is "not good enough", "must do better", "unacceptable"and "have it done by..... or else". All that and I didn't even get a sandwich, they kept them all on their table and didn't pass any over to my desk. Just as well I had helped myself to a couple when setting out their lunch then. Coronation chicken, BLT, Chicken and bacon melt, warm sausage rolls, fresh fruit and doughnuts - you would have thought they might be a bit grateful. And you wonder why I only get the chance to blog once a month. There are of course other distractions like the three new blackberries I arranged for the managers (at no extra cost) when I rolled over the contract. Just a few problems setting them up, like now I have two blackberries that don't work instead of just one but I am assured that these are just teething problems.
Normally I like to keep you amused in my irregular blogs but it is difficult to see the sunny side of life at times at the moment. I could regale you with my brush with sniffer dogs, or the fortune I have had to spend to keep jetski boy and bodybuilder's cars on the road, or even post the photo Mrs Claus took of me sunbathing under a travel rug, getting the sun but keeping out the cold north wind.
I suppose you think I am just after the sympathy vote and you would of course be right, I just need a couple of successes, things to go right first time to set me on my feet again.
Jetski boy has surpassed himself by completing the three peaks challenge in just over 26 hours (target time 24) and is now under canvas at the V Festival (tickets were a birthday present as he leaves his teens). Perhaps I am not as old as I thought, I recognised at least 30% of the bands playing but probably wouldn't have liked ANY of them
If in doubt, take it out on the ivy, that's my motto. It grows so fast up the fences and across the roof of the building that houses the sleighs that I an spend an hour chopping and hacking and make virtually no difference at all. Our neighbour takes a hedge trimmer to it but that only encourages it to grow faster. If we could eat ivy then we wouldn't need to grow any different vegetables, shame it is poisonous.
Miserable old toad this time aren't I? maybe more light hearted next time, you will just have to wait and see
