It rained extensively overnight. Sometime between nodding off at 03.15 and 08.30 this morning, I had a BIG nightmare. My Mind conjured up Technicolor images of some strange and twisted neighbour who was out to poison Cat with a sweet paste that he sprayed through the gateposts. In my nightmare the situation was made all the more real as events occurred here, in East Yorks, and not over in Bradford. Even in my sleep, it night, and raining hard, lending the potted begonias a fresh and glistening appeal in the garden lights. Losing the power of coherent speech in the real world above ground, I aimed to shout "Kill Him!" as I chased the culprit around the raised beds. I was doing nothing of the sort, of course, except thrashing in bed, screaming a mumbled jumble of animal noises. I think Johnnie and Cat woke up around 04.00, wondering what the hell I had been drinking?Anyhow, that was last night, and today, I have loads to do. Number 1 is to ring Mercedes Benz of Hessle and get the car confirmed in. I aim to drop it off at 10.00 and return home in the courtesy car.
My hit list for this week consists of:
1. Forms and paperwork for RB
2. PACE - forms and paperwork to do with TTG Enhancement Fund + costings and budget
3. Speculative bid and business outline for SEM and analytical equipment in Bradford
4. A Units for Johnnie
Mercedes rang just a little after 12.30 to let me know that they had identified a defect on the car's rear door/ window, and that a whole new unit would have to be ordered. That means that tomorrow! I will have to continue to use the A Class that they have given over to me as a courtesy. No complaints here. What are they going to do with Frank's SMART, then, as it is still booked in for tomorrow morning? It looks like this has the same generic defect? Let's watch this space . . .
I have just been to the local TESCO off Beverley Road, where the self-service checkout queues were almost 12 deep. Note to self - don't go shopping for food at this time, not unless you do Lidl or Aldi. Lots of half-price booze, mainly Australian Shiraz, on display, so I obviously loaded the basket with a couple. I had forgotten that I had a telephone interview scheduled for 17.00 - REED Education had rung earlier to check my availability, and I has said "yes!" So, I was multi-tasking, stocking up with kitty-litter and other essentials as I loafed around the store answering questions as to my suitability for a role in Leeds.
Quite a productive day today, but I need to get more done ASAP in the next 4 weeks: I feel guilty as hell that I am not in work and miss Johnnie whilst he is out at work . . .modern life, eh!
