Today was not a particularly good day. Work was very stressy. Lots of things not going as planned and causing more grief. We are going to have to wrestle these things to the ground and bring them under control ASAP or things will get progressively worse. I was starting to enjoy not blogging about work and then it all goes wrong again LOL. Let's hope this is a short blip and nothing long term!
It was also a day for lots of bad news. We'll start with the car. It went in for a service (having just passed it's MOT). Sadly things did not go well. It had to be done prior to our November trip to Whitby Goth Weekend but the estimated bill of £595 was a hard one to swallow. The only saving grace is that not all the work has to be done immediately and some can wait until after our WGW trip which will at least spread the cost.
Second lot of bad news is about Gail. She was transferred to Kings yesterday which is the best hospital for her. The bad news is that rather than be out in a few days it is now going to be a number of weeks before she is likely to be well enough to go back home. This was really not what we wanted to hear :o(
The day ended back at Toni's with some Chinese food and me losing to Aaron at chess. I haven't played for ages and it was great fun. I forgot how easy it is to lose if you make a stupid mistake. Sadly I made two and so it was game over quite quickly after that. Hopefully I'll get the better of him at some point in the future when we have a return match!
