Don't want to get too far ahead of myself with the finer details - I need an actual completed application form first!7 -

I am going round in circles and overthinking, as usual 🙄😂 Trying to channel @edinburgher who also knocked out a job application recently 😁 It's a lovely sunny day and I am kicking myself for not getting up earlier so I could have finished this then got out in the garden 🙄
Hey ho. I didn't, so here we are. Now I'd like to get a decent full draft so there's still a bit of time for flute playing before I go out.
Just went out to hang some washing. It's lovely out there, but definitely autumnal. Most of the damsons have dropped or been eaten now - I was going to pick more, but I've got a big bag in the freezer and a friend had a bag too so that will be enough.
Right, deep breaths and a time limit for this CV...10 -

😂😂 thank you 🤦♀️ I was searching for the actual whole phrase @KajiKita used and it was taking me to some odd places 😮😂
Anyway, getting there. Fortunately I have other things I can pilfer from so it's not a case of gathering information, but rather formatting appropriately.
Need to stop and get the flute out for half an hour now though!8
