Tuesday 11th August was my last day at Capita, yes, I have been made redundant again. That's the 5th time in my career/job history. This time I saw it coming so I actually got my CV together and out there some weeks before the day. That pulled in a few interviews which at least gave me some interview practice (if nothing else). One did lead to a 2nd interview but that's now scheduled for 26th August so plenty of time to get some more lined up just in case that one doesn't deliver. In the meantime I also have to do a series of on-line tests for this job too. I'll do that tomorrow so wish me luck.
Yesterday was my first appointment with Job Seekers to get my JSA claim verified, then bugger me, today was my first "signing on" day. That's the way it happens sometimes.
This blog is about me, the way I do things, the way I see things, how I'm affected by what is going on around me, my feelings on any issue that I want to comment on. The strap line From Tea to Whisky describes me. I start every day with a mug of tea and end every day with a shot of whisky -- I've done it for over 50 years and I see no reason to change now. So that's an apt description of me and my blog which I hope you enjoy.

Shed electrics
Nearly completed. Distribution /comsumer box with RCD breaker installed. Security light mounted and security system wired and dialled in. Twin power points/sockets above the bench and lighting in the form of two energy saving (low power draw) 11W (75W equivalent to regular bulbs) mounted in the high ceiling and a four foot 5H tube mouted in the eaves above the bench.
All the above is still running off a temporary power extension from the house but that will soon be addressed with a buried permanent power supply.
Another task that has progressed is the sorting and boxing into cartons of those little things like screws, nuts, bolts, washers, nails and other miscellenia. Last on the list will be the acquisition of a meaty vice and (possibly also) a bench drill.
