Damn I just knew it , Monday the 13th unlucky for some. The weather is foul with humid but damp and cloud all day and quite dark. It was the day for the progress meeting on my redundancy but nothing new had happened, the company confirmed that they don't pay one penny out just the government money which does happen to hit the max so its not all bad. I was expecting my colleague who was attending as manager to come to the offices at Ellesmere Port but late in the day we decided it would be better if I went to the contract at Warmingham which was pushing it and it was gone 10am the meeting time when I arrived, the wet weather always slows the motorway even when the rain is light. I waded down through the gooey white paste that is the road surface and reverse parked at the appointed place whereupon a few minutes later one of our lads came in to tell me my tyre was flat, yes I'd reversed right onto an offcut of sharp metal left on the ground. There is no spare so after the desultory meeting Alan kindly got the wheel off and pout it in his boot. We sussed out the nearest tyre centre and went to National at Crewe. Thankfully it was a repair rather than a new tyre and I'll claim it back. by this stage myself and car where getting white at dusty ghosts. I couldn't believe where the day had gone and I needed to get back to my own office but be the time I did that getting the car washed en route it was just time to clear emails and pack up ready for home, a;so glimpsed at the hospital info for the knee replacement operation and pre op appointment. Mandy got a consultation date for her blocked tear ducts over the phone, the nearest hospital wasn't available until September but Macclesfield could do it August, big deal that's just to see the consultant the procedure will no doubt follow much later. Please please hit the adverts on the Youtube clips when you visit, the hit rate has been in free fall for the last month although I see that we are now starting an upward trend once more, we need all the pennies I can get if I retire.The photos tonight are the Warwickshire ones postponed from Friday evening.
