Apologies

It is almost a month since my last entry...crivens..crazyness. matters have settled down here and..with the exception of not really knowing for sure about the result of my applying for my new job...well..old job but new job if you see what i mean....i think i am pretty secure.

It is only now that I realise the stress I have been working under since November...and Matt..my FCS line manager stated he had been concerned but never been able to check up on me..which is quite something if he is saying that. i think i have done quite well to keep going..in a professional manner...throughout all this ups and downs.

Settling in to my part time post with FCS....been up to Huntley a few times..met the team...good to see some folk not chatted to in a while...nice office..all trees around them....total shock than the usual granite and burned out bikes for me..good to be seen though...an something we hope to continue after..well...after i get the job....even though i will be back in the blue of the cooncil.

Health walks and bushcraft is the order of the week this week..and perhaps a bit of practical volunteer work..left the Bridges guys alone for a bit so need to push on with that. Stimmer mungous.

There is also talk of working on the future as soon as this new contract starts...now..we did start pretty prompt last time...but no one wants the same again. Contracts being signed up with Community Service Order for one day a week..now..at the moment..this will provide a stream of income for my team mates but it may..in the future...be a way of funding alongside FCS and still hosted by ACC..on a permanent basis...but that is for the future..well...a few months down the line..but it all looks good.

I am now enjoying my Monday night shows...my days are kinda long now but seem to be managing...multi vitamins to the rescue!!!...still don't like locking up and setting alarm at midnight...but it is fun and I can feel me slipping into the routine...even Tuesday mornings are not that bad...a quick kip around midday does the trick!!..lucky I have an unmarked van eh? i spend a fair bit of time there...which isn't a bad thing....as it is good to mix and mingle...ime enjoying my music and have figured out how to use a usb stick.

Finally bought a digi pic frame for dad...scanned some really old pics and copied them onto the digi frame....looks good..so all I have to do is get it to him!!! Big trip in august...down to Strathaven and Strathyre....and meeting some FCS guys as well....should be good...but think i will maybe hire a car and visit dad the week after....Ian is coming back from New Zealand and i think there is some sort of shindig on for him...so I could go to that as well...as it is in Dunfermline...dad will be so chuffed with the frame...the pics have scanned really well..although one really old one broke in the post....managed to scan it then laminate it so it will last longer than dad or me!!!!

Ok..I will leave it there for the now...catch you later.
