Know about that. There was a time when every day was a Monday. Since I've retired every day's Saturday. Funny though, even now, Friday evening is still my favourite time of the week.Worthy4England wrote:Unless you've worked yet another one of 'em, in which case they pass just like any other working day.Annoyed Grunt wrote:Weekends going far too quickly.

This fckg weather. I've seen some rain in my time but since the South declared a drought it's been poor. But the past few days have been a disgrace.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
not so much angry as sad...
two distressing deaths this week..
one on sunday - I have two services - 9:30 and 11:15. as I traveled to my 11:15 service someone who had been at my earlier 9:30 service died on their way home - in the passenger seat of the car of a huge heart attack while her husband drove. I was called straight from my second service to go and sit with her at the hospital.... totally unexpected as she was only 53.
then yesterday... the police are alerted by a neighbour who then brek in to find one of my more reclusive members had died at home at the top of the stairs and probably been there 4 or 5 days... she has no family and is one of those people who (like you see on the telly sometimes in documentaries) pile newspapers and books and clutter around the house leaving narrow passageways to get from room to room...
all a bit sad this week....

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
You've rather taken the sting out of my anger Bish. I was absolutely furious that on top of having had no pay rise for 2 years, I've just opened my pay slip to find that I'm 85 quid down due to paying an extra 35 quid in income tax and 50 quid in pension contributions (for which I will receive no extra benefits).
In the great scheme of things it all sounds rather trivial now.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
I say it because, on the day of my mother's funeral, kids were laughing and shouting and playing in the street, the milkman was whistling and everything seemed so...normal. It was really, just seemed so strange.
