I am glad today is the longest of the year as it has been very busy for me. My welfare hearing was at noon, so I got some vital shopping in, including a dear friend's birthday card on my way to see my new welfare officer. He was a pleasant chap but he proved to be clueless. He insisted that I apply for a specific admin role he picked out for me from a job site. I didn't get to look at the details of the job until after I got to the community centre later in the day. The job specifies that applicants must be able to drive. I have no driving license. It also demands that the applicant must be a practicing Catholic, and able to prove it with references from a parish priest and a baptism certificate. As an ardent published atheist that might be tricky for me, as I spelt out in a message to the church school concerned. They are actually discriminating as the job itself is not remotely faith based. Back home I packed for my journey to Canterbury. As you may have seen, I presented reviews of all of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, which centre on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. Now it is my turn to make the same expedition, though by coach. I may be offline for much of the weekend after this post. I've added a Youtube of Procul Harem's Whiter Shade Of Pale as it refers to Chaucer's Miller's Tale. Arthur Chappell
