You Can't Keep A Good Man Down........

As regular perusers of these pages will be aware, I have not been overly exerting myself on the work front of late…... where “of late”, ought perhaps to read “for more or less the last three years”.

This incorrigible state of laxity is set to come to and end very soon however, as shock of all shocks….. I have only gone and got a job!

On May 1st I will start work as an administrator for a company near here, who report on environmental issues for the construction industry.

An alarm clock and a lunch box need to be acquired, as do a couple of new suits and a shiny corporate smile.

This startling development is certainly not before time. The first (planned) year of ease and indolence was very nice, the second not sooooo bad, as I was focussed on the house move, and still had expectations of a swift return to work..... Even if my finances did disappear down the Swanee in the meanwhile.

These last eight months of niggling injury and frustratingly slow recovery though, have been tortuous, so I am mightily relieved to have finally turned a corner…... Knowing verbatim, the script of every single episode of “Homes Under The Hammer” and “To Buy Or Not To Buy” is no doubt a singular achievement, but compares poorly against having an income I find.

My new employers are based in a delightful rural setting, a mere 15 minutes drive away, and on a route that also has one other advantage ……

It passes an allotment site.

Hmmmmmm……………………
