Yes, thanks.
Noel and Blousie came to stay, we did lovely food on Friday, a nice hill walk (if a tad windy and cold) on Saturday followed by curry then going to see my mate's band. Yesterday consisted of a walk along the beach and then out for an Italian's, where my father in law excelled himself in the complaining about his dinner stakes by sending his steak back to the kitchen. As per usual. Next time, no matter where we are, I'll just ask the staff to bring him a bacon sandwich, and if they haven't any bacon I shall insist they go and fucking find some.

Today, the missus starts her trial at a potential new job. And I'm about to take Noel through to Newcastle for his bus home, but we shall hopefully have time for a wander around and then meet Sportius Bovine for a pint and some lunch.

Any news on your applications?

One rejection (the employment adviser post).
Apparently I didn't have the experience they were looking for (because ten years in a benefits / employment adviser role counts for fuck all, apparently).

Got an interview on Friday for the other position, though. Which means I'll have to be up super early to get to Newcastle as the interview is at 9am and the missus need the car to get to South Shields for 8.15.

Chin up, DG.
Good luck for Friday.

To be honest
although the money was good, and it was local, I'm not sure I could do that again anyway. It was soul destroying last time.
