Don't worry.  Amnesia is quite normal at your age.

its our anniversary at the weekend and normally we'd get the train to london, go out for a meal, drink too much and stay in an overpriced, cramped, overheated hotel.  Not my favourite thing.

This year, Mrs M suggested cycling 40 miles to Lavenham, eating in a pub and staying in a B&B

[Wowbagger]

Have a lovely time in Lavenham! And on the journeys, of course.

Finally managed to sell some shares today, that means I can now afford to go to PBP & finish building the Dave Yates frame I bought from Tiermat

Is that the purple sparkly one? Even I like that, despite it being Not Black!

I've been given a date and time (Monday, 1330 hrs) that I must attend $PRESERVED_RAILWAY to be assessed in the post of Signalman.  If all goes well, I can drop the word "Trainee" when I answer the phone.

I can get there and back in the day.  No need to book the sleeper.  (Prolly a bit late to book now anyway, as it's August and everyfink.)

Barbara has got a new job after spending the last couple of months in misery, last shift today in old job Yippee

I had a job interview this morning (it was due yesterday but my back has been bad) for the role that I am temping in, and they called me back after an hour and offered me the job

After 2 years of redundancy, unemployment, agency and temp contracts it feels a great relief to be back in full-time employment. Plus the people I work for are truly brilliant and the library is lovely.
