Diary Tuesday 2nd January 2018 National hangover Day, when most of the nation wakes up after the festive drinks-fest of Xmas and New Year to return to the reality and normality of the working week. I was sober, and currently unemployed, I had an early morning meeting with my welfare officer. It was clear that he had nothing prepared for me and just signed me in. He did tell me however that as they will want to see me weekly after the 15th January rather than fortnightly, which will be very annoying. I called in the community centre to get a timetable of forthcoming event and to let them know that I am available to help with talks, stalls and other events. The lady who usually hire me is about to go off on maternity leave so whether they sometimes use me or not depends on her replacement’s plans. I did some food shopping and returned home to some sad news. An elderly man who lives in the flat directly opposite to my own died just before New Year’s Eve. They were clearing his flat out as I arrived home with my groceries. I may possibly be attending the funeral as he had few friends or family left. Diary Wednesday 3rd January 2018 A day in, dominated by online job searching, and catching up with my writing projects. I’ll be having a birthday meal with friends in early February so I sent invitation out today and booked a table at a favourite all you can eat Chinese Buffet ready for the event. Arthur Chappell
