The community centre food service was on this morning. I got two bags of random food that included pizzas, peaches, strawberries, yoghurts and more besides. I posted some letters and topped up my phone. At home I got an invite to yet another useless course that I have to participate in before securing an interview for a company with a bad reputation. I pointed out that the company hours don't suit me but I was told bluntly to do the course and then discuss the situation with the company when they interview me. Looks like any plans I had for next week are now crushed. I edited lots of my pub sign photos for my book. There are only two pubs I now need images for so it is going extremely well.

That is healthy combination of foods but I trust there was some more filling stuff in the remainder, Anyway I am sure you are thankful for what you got.

I know very well this aria from "La Traviata", it's not my favorite opera, but some arias are good. Maria Callas was a very good "Violetta".

That sucks they are trying to make you work somewhere you do not want to work. You have every pub sign in your town, except for two. That is pretty impressive and cool. My town would have been easy back in the day. We had only 2 pubs, now we have about 20 to 25.

@crossbones27 the book is not just restricted to local pubs but bars across the UK. I have the rights to use images of all but two pubs in the book - - working on those too

It's a shame you need to go to a class for an interview with a company with a bad reputation. I enjoyed the video.

The contents of that random bag of food seem to be very worthwhile. Do you like yoghurt?
