Diary Saturday 1st April 2017 A whole new month, starting with All Fool’s Day, which certainly applies to me any day. T S Eliot called April ‘The Cruellest month’ in The Waste Land poem, probably for its association with the crucifixion, but April is generally a good month for me with a big annual science fiction convention in its midst. The pressures imposed by my welfare officers are relaxed for a while though I still have some call centre employment pressure to face up to on Wednesday. I’m on a very restricted budget and just did a little hopping this afternoon, paying off my council tax bill for the month and used the library for a while. I did some of my online job searching and started packing for the convention, ready for departure on the 12th April. Diary Sunday 2nd April 2017 Laundry, job searching, sunshine, a little revision for call centre vacancy tests I face later in the week. I started taking photos of the front covers of books I have read for use in my reviews on here and elsewhere too. Diary Monday 3rd April 2017 Indoor job searching all day virtually, all online all useless. I got a letter from my internet / e-mail provider informing me that they are discontinuing the provision of the Freeserve e-mail addresses at the end of May. I have used Freeserve for over a decade now. As I’m staying in a hostel in a few weeks I need a padlock to protect my more valuable things in storage lockers. I dug out my padlocks and then had to go through all my keys to find the ones that match it which took forever. Arthur Chappell
