NEWS COME THROUGH HEAT HAZE IN ELLESMERE PORT

it seems amazing that I'm relentlessly ploughing through mountains of training returns logging in courses and producing certificates all day long with hardly time to grab a glass of water as the temperature in Ellesmere Port kept rock steady through the afternoon at 31C especially as I'm just waiting for my finishing date but that commitment for you. I did have a sort of reprieve the whole process it seems started off on a sticky wicket and I didn't have any notification before the formal process other than a couple of days heads up but now it seems that i should have had 45 days so the clock starts ticking today which puts my earliest departure at the 30th of October another two months towards my expected pension. I tried to raise them today but it was really difficult breaking off to do other things although I did have one business skype meeting on safety which seemed a bit late in the day, I'd better keep my head down in future.

I did manage to get Mandy booked to see Prof Jari Thursday evening after my appointment, there's a bit of a gap but it save two seperate visits to the hospital. I had my third blood pressure reading and its still a little high so I've now got to try and find an appointment with a doctor as ours is off long term sick and the preferred one is on leave so its take a chance on a short notice appointment next week. There is also all the paperwork that goes with this and my file is getting thicker each week. Mandy is going to consult over her 'good' knee which is giving pain although to many ops and it will be useless like mine and is the only one which gets Mandy up stairs. The weather forecast for first thing Friday arouned Chester is looking good which would be great as its our four times rebooked ballon flight morning. I'm not sure of Saturdays film destination, south has better weather but we don't want to go all the way as we have Alton and Worthing soon.
