Up early
again today because of the work being done.
No-one here yet though.
That
useless scooter is due to go back today too.
It adds to fun in life I suppose.
For the first time ever I'm hoping the BBC has got the weather wrong for
Friday. It's for snow down the length of
the west side of the England and Scotland - just when Jan is supposed to be
driving home. I'll be glad when she gets
here and just for her herself getting her safely; cabin fever is setting in
again. It always does when I have to
stay in because of work being done or waiting for someone to call.
The
application for Weddington Fields to designated a village green has been turned
down by an inspector. To be honest; I'm
not surprised really. All though the
fields are around the parish church they are not in the middle of the area as
with most village greens I know.
However, Warwickshire County Council are not bound to the inspectors recommendation
which means there is still hope for the application. I'm in favour of the application. The area is rather a nice pleasant spot which
in itself is enough to be in favour but only last month there was serious flooding
right there with most of the area being under water. Building 300+ houses there is plain silly to
me.
According to
today's News the normal Wednesday
market has been cancelled because the county council hasn't gritted the
roads. OK, fine ... but the area where
the market is held is in the middle of a pedestrian zone. So how can it get gritted during the day when
it is closed off? Makes no sense to me.
The workman
arrived about 20 minutes ago. So far he
hasn't shut up! He's made one phone call
but the rest of the time he's talking to himself. Right now he's on about where he is supposed
to put something ... OK, but there's a huge great hole where it should go ...
... ... ;-)))
Photo time
... I'm always on the lookout for street art and I came across this one on
London's South Bank ...
Funny time
...
Charlie, a
new retiree greeter at B&Q, just couldn't seem to get to work on
time. Every day he was 5, 10 or 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really
tidy, clean shaven, sharp minded and a real credit to the company, obviously
epitomising their 'Older Person Friendly' policies.
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk. "Charlie, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a great job, but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."
"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though, your coming in late. I know you're retired from the armed forces. What did they say if you came in late there?"
"They said, 'Good morning, Admiral. Would you like some coffee now, sir?'."
