Contract news

 There is no news.  I logged in today to see if there was anything moving (i've told them to contact me using my personal address whilst off), but nothing.  I will chase tomorrow.  Not sure what the hold up is.  My director is my new line manager and has signed it off, so not sure what else needs sorting.

If it doesn't happen, I wouldn't be too annoyed as I would like some time off but I can't really turn down the money side of thigs as it is very good.

Payday next Friday, and my bonus comes out then too!

Nose update

 All going well, I think...

I'm breathing through my nose better and feel physically fine.  I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon (late) where the surgeon will remove the plastic inserts in my nose and I think this will help a lot haig done a fair amount of googling around the subject.

Hopefully it's not too painful as i'm due to head out with the u10s coaches for a social at a local curry house.  I think there are 20 of us.  Good luck if you're stuck in the restaurant with us.  These things can get messy.

Big dog walk

I took Arwen around Lamberhurst yesterday with the plan to have a nice pub lunch half way through.  I got to the Elephants Head at around 12 but it wasn't open yet so decided to carry on and just have lunch in Lamberhurst itself in the Chequers. That wasn't taking walk ins that day because they had a big table of 16 booked in upstairs.  FFS.  On the way back in the car I passed the Elephant on the off chance that it was open but it was rammed.  It wasn't to be.  It was a nice walk though.

 

Proud of my parking

 I have to admit that parking is not my greatest skill, but without the drive at the minute with the scaffolding up during the repointing work, i've had to practise.  Pretty pleased with this.

Going the extra mile

I made a lovely lamb hotpot yesterday, but no pain no gain...

I managed to cut myself twice on the mandolin whilst chopping the potatoes.  Idiot!

Found these

 My brother dropped off a load of stuff that was left round my mums before she died.  One of the things was my old rpg folder with all my old characters.  Some of which might be up to 35 years old!  You will notice most are called Rombardo Lazerous!

School photos

 Don't they look smart.

Missed this too

 Flo's ballet.  She had to leave the rugby tournament early so that she could do this.

I missed the rugby tournament

 But they all had a good time.  Hopefully i'll be back out training with them this weekend.

Nose job

 According to the surgeon everything went well.  I'm due to see him later this week to take out two splints.  I can't imagine how painful that will be!  Now for 2 weeks recovery.
