I've reached that point where I can no longer spend more than about 3 hours a day job hunting before I start to get both bored and depressed. So obviously I have to fill my time doing other things. Current favourite is to get the motorbike out and ride down to the Job Centre (sorry, Job Seekers Plus office) to hand in the Travel Claim form for the last trip to an interview, take a walk round that part of town then get back on the bike and go for a ride, sometimes combining that with a visit to the supermarket to fight my way round between mothers with screaming kids and pensioners tutt tutting at the mother and kids. Next option is to do a bit of gardening which is confined to mowing the back lawn and trimming bushes. The latest thing to do is a bit of painting in the hall/stairs/landing -- we were going to pay to have it all redecorated while we were away on holiday but cancelled that due to the lack of primary income. Now I find it a bit therapeutic, well, it makes a change from washing, tumbling, ironing and cooking the evening meal for when the rest of the family come home from work.
Saturday we went over to a little place north of Shrewsbury called Moreton Corbet for the wedding of Zoe & David at St Benedict’s church. A lovely service and they were so lucky with the weather. Blowing a gale with heavy rain up to an hour before, it cleared and dried up in time for the ceremony, stayed that way for the photos and the trip to the reception, then 10 minutes later it started raining again. We had a great time and they had a lovely day, God bless them! Shortly after we arrived home our Andy was delivered home by a mate Kev in what can best be described as an advanced state of inebriation. Boy, was he drunk as a skunk! Sunday was therefore a quiet day for all, as Mark was away for the weekend, camping in the Lake District.
