A day of sunshine, chores and frustrations. My landlady is visiting from Manchester on Friday and with being on a course from Monday to Thursday today was my only real chance to tidy the flat. It was a quick easy job until vacuuming, when I realized my hoover wasn’t picking up the detritus. I realized its plastic case was full, and never expected it to be so tough to disengage, empty and re-attach. I felt as if I needed an engineering degree but by trial and error I finally got the vacuuming completed. As it is Mother’s Day I rang my Mum to check she got her card OK. She did. She told me that an old family friend I had met a few times has died, very sad. I knew he was suffering from cancer. I put the clocks forward an hour last night as it is the start of British Summer Time today, so lighter mornings, yay! I hit on the idea of selling some old books on Amazon only to find that to do so I have to prove my European status through either my passport details or driving license – I have neither. I tried making a few Youtubes on my old tablet camcorder but I couldn’t get the volume working. I transferred them to my main laptop where they worked ok, but I was too tired to edit them further tonight. Grrr . Tomorrow I start the stupid mandatory attendance course in call centre work. I’m not looking forward to that at all. Arthur Chappell
