Hi Guys
Sorry to be so terse (if that's the correct way to put it?), but I’m absolutely Shattered - another few terms came to mind, but I though that i would keep it within the safe bounds of polite conversation.
I know I've only posted on an "on-and-off" way, but, to be honest, that is going to be the way it is I suppose.
I thought I would try a "Weekend" entry this time, a reflection of what has happened over the weekend, and then publish the whole thing, say Sunday Afternoon. i think, seeing as the lad is playing Football Sunday Morning, I'm more likely to post the whole thing something like Sunday – Midday.
I’m not sure this is a good idea, but we’ll see how things go.
Friday 24th Feb - 07:07 a.m.
Winters back here, in the UK, once again.
Just when we thought the weather was improving towards the Spring, the Snow and sleet has returned.
Luckily - round here, it would appear to be the rain and sleet variety, but, having just watched the news, the southern parts of Lincolnshire seem to have been covered in a fair coating of Snow (for the UK least ways). And, the forecast for the coming week isn’t that encouraging either. Cold, Cold and Snow.
Physically, and Mentally to some extent - I'm absolutely shattered. There doesn't seem to be any time to take a major break at the moment. You take a sort of "Five Minute" break here and there, but we still at full speed, even when we get home. Work all day, taxi the kids (and ourselves) after hours.
To top all that off the "ongoing" discomfort of my Elbow is really making things a little difficult (I really hope that hospital appointment comes through soon - but, I suspect, the NHS financial year end may get in the way first), but I've now pulled a muscle in my left shoulder. The damage must have been obvious, as ,as I asked Cathy (my wife, real nurse and soul mate)to have a look, my daughter looked, did a double take, and said "what have you done?"
"I've never seen anything like that!!"
At which point, of-course, you start to wonder what she's seen that you haven't (my head's never been supple enough to look over my own shoulder - 
OUCHHH
So the last few days have been a bit difficult
Friday 24th Feb - 12:35 p.m.
Have been out, at work, now for about 4 hours and god its really, really cold.
I'm frozen.
I've been rained on. Sleat'ed on and then Snowed on. None of which has settled - but its really really cold.
Its never something I've ever got used to.
Friday 24th Feb - 17:35 p.m.
Well thats today finished - as far as works concerned least ways. I'm waiting for Liam to come home with his Mum. She's taken him, straight from School, to the local Boots the Chemist in town.
To cut a long story short, he has applied to them for his work experience - but, in line with School policy, they have to go see the various "supporting" companies and apply for a position - so they get some idea of what will be required when they have to go for job interviews for "real" positions in a few years time.
I hope he's done OK.
Appendix: Liam came back not long after I typed the above comment – he got the work experience position, but not before some confusion on behalf of the Boots Staff. Cathy, who went with him as both Mum's Taxi, and a certain level of moral support, advised that the Lady Liam had asked to see was actually not on site, and the first lady he saw, even though he showed his school letter, thought he was after a "real" job.
I know he's a big lad (he's taller than I now by a good 5 inches)., and, in some situations he does look older than he is - unless you look really carefully.
Never mind - at least he's sorted.
