Hope I have cut out enough, let me know if not.
It's also just as important to list (for yourself) what you aren't able to do, don't want to do, or have issues with, as well as listing the positives.
I'm sure you have done that already though!

Top of the not doing "administration".

I have been invited and declined to be the secretary of a couple of village committees. I had a secretary or PA for the last 20 years of my working life, I have no talent or urge for administration.

Could you counsel?

Not quoting, but I like the idea of helping ex-offenders. Probably, both immensely rewarding and immensely frustrating in equal measures. It would use all of a certain person's skills in a most socially-productive way.

I believe in second chances ( and third and fourth).

In the past I came upon the Lucy Faithfull Foundation , great organisation, but not sure it is a client group I could be of use to.

With training for non clinical/non health I think so. Have done some working relationships/ bullying/career counselling. Was good in the workplace at "difficult conversations" .Acas mediator trained.

Viva: Thanks for the email/attachments.

No worries, did you get two emails? I didn't have time to get on FMP today but had ten mins to play with the press database. I think there's a way of doing it as a PDF and forwarding that, but I just wanted to get something out... then ran out of day.

You park cars in garages?

Outbuildings.....How much clutter are you hoping to collect?

We are off to a party tomorrow. A great neice will be 2 soon but her soldier dad will be away then , so party tomorrow. A village hall full of toddlers. Then an evening meal in a pub for the grown ups. We are staying overnight in guest accommodation on the base. We are so pleased to have been asked.

OH adores small people,and children usually like him. He refers to toddlers as "the entertainment" so he is happy.

James had a lovely week of SR duty, one night he was thrown against a car and punched down to the ground.....not actual residents of the halls but a visiting act which had been at the SU and where one had not taken kindly to being told by a female resident that they were not interested.

He is ok but an ambulance had to be called as a just in case, in the end he got away with a very sore and beggered knee which for him, is nothing out of the ordinary.

At the moment it is looking unlikely he will SR in his last year as he was so busy with uni work that he missed the deadline for applying but you never know, they were making noises that they might still want him on the car throwing night. He is not too bothered about not doing it, especially as he is so horrendously busy with deadlines for coursework right now and it is only going to get worse from September.

Yes, but I've only just realised there was a 2nd one when you said it and I just double checked
