    And it's still piddling down here!

    Training sessions were OK, mostly because it's done by video conferencing and we can mute our mics.

    The farmer neighbour dropped by with some fleeces from sheep he had sheared today. A friend of mine had asked for some so she'll be delighted. Meanwhile I've draped it all out in the big barn to dry off a bit over the weekend.

    I've been trying to deal with some unhelpful scaffolders who have left unsafe scaffolding up at my DM's place. Eventually got fed up and contacted the city council and the bloke in the Building Standards dept is on his way out to inspect it.

    It's cold here though I think I've left it too late to bother lighting the fire. I'll be under the duvet by 8.00p.m. watching TV in bed.

    It's a great life! :j

    I hope everyone is well and safe.

    So not only is Youngest going to be called in for an disciplinary meeting. It appears he's had a phone call from his insurance (he has a black box). He's been pulled over the coals for speeding.

    Hardest part for me is hiding it from his Dad. His Dad would go mad!

    Sometimes we just have to learn the hard way - I know I did :o. Might do him no harm for his Dad to be mad if he's being irresponsible. Hope it works out ok x

    Was about to say the same - sometimes the hard lessons need to be learned.
