Fingers crossed, David, fingers crossed.

BTW - Do you ever perform Arvo Part's "Kanon Pokajanen"? I like listening to unaccompanied male voice choirs every now and then. I'd love to hear this live.

Love Wareham. One of my favourite spots. Took the OH to The Priory Hotel on the quay for a special birthday.

We've repacked the caravan today ready for a trip away tomorrow. All towels and bedding in etc. Guess what.... got into the car and it took me ages to get the thing to start..... I'm beginning to wonder if it's a bad omen. We'll see what happens first thing tomorrow. The idea is that we go after church, so we'll see if the car starts first thing! ~Not feeling optimistic!!

On the other hand, when I did choir practice last night, I realised our first hymn on Sunday morning is to the tune 'Wareham'. Guess where were going........? Coincidence!!

Fingers crossed that your car starts OK tomorrow David. Enjoy Wareham - lovely part of the world. How is your daughter enjoying her 2nd term at Uni?

I completed my first day back at work but not without incident. The Smart car broke down just as I was on my last delivery. The dashboard just showed the message malfunction and after that it ran on restricted power. Maximum speed 20 mph.

So this morning I rang the boss to say I couldn't come into work today also because I was still feeling unwell and not fully recovered from the hospital treatment. So I got a lecture about being unreliable!

Oh dear Malcolm, you don't have much luck with cars, on the plus side it means another day off work and you can take it easy . More time to recover fully. Don't worry about work, health is more important.

You're not having much luck at the moment are you, Malcolm 😱

But chin up, I'm sure things will improve, just take things easy, and, yes, keep being "unreliable" 😊😊😊

Horrible day, so cold! Mind you hubby still went out and washed down the caravan.

Bit of housework and washing this morning, and then out to the pub this afternoon to watch the rugby.

Malc Just tell your boss to swivel then have a couple of weeks off and if you need to work get a part time job with a supermarket.

We've got a Sunday lunch voucher to use there, a present from one of our daughters. Looking forward to it.

Enjoy Wareham David, hope you get there ok!

Malcolm, Statutory Sick Pay is payable by employers to employees (which you are) for up to 28 weeks. It's £88.45/week. Best part is that your employer can recover the payment through his tax returns (assuming that he troubles himself with such things).
