Diary Wednesday 28th November 2018 More university voluntary work, though this was just a briefing and instructions for some of the projects I am supporting in the weeks remaining before Christmas. Some university staff had indulged in a big buffet before we arrived to use the same rooms and they kindly left some of the food out for us too. I did the bulk of my Christmas shopping today too. I now only have a few items left to get. At home I did some more work on my book for my publisher and edited some pf my photos. Diary Thursday 29th November 2018 My first day at the community centre since the angry exchange of letters exchanged with them when they decided the unpaid talks I gave them don't qualify as real voluntary work. One of the ring-leaders of that walked past me without saying a word, but otherwise it was a routine job search day. An interesting outcome to my failed application to get taken on as a Christmas temporary sorter today when I met a friend who did get in. I was surprised to see him at the centre as I expected him to be at work, but it turns out they laid him and sixty others off before their first shift even started because they hired too many temps. That might have happened to me too had I got through the recruitment process. I feel very sorry for him. Youtube O Come All Ye Old Ones I started writing my Christmas cards tonight. Arthur Chappell
