'Gone Home'

This journal is now a memorial to a wonderful, gentle loving man who left this world on Friday, 07th November 2008.

It will continue to be lovingly maintained by Vivienne [info]caersidi.

Well Viv's Journal will probability tell better than mine…

Came home from first 'not bad' day at work to Cally running up to me Meowing.

Viv was home with the police.

We had been burgled.

Surprisingly calm at the moment. Don't feel violated, probably stunned, time will tell.

But as far as burglary go, it could have been so much worse.

Looks like they concentrated on downstairs, took DVD player and some DVD's (a couple of handfuls, most were on anther shelf), Viv's Libretto, 2 mobile phone, Minidisk and a few other things.

I thin they were panicked and run. Probably due to house defences. So many thing left they could have taken. Silly as it sounds, feel lucky. So luck. It could have been much much worse. So far it looks like nothing has been taken that is not replaceable. No damage done that cannot be fixed, no violent damage and all the cats are okay.

Thankful for small mercy's I guess. At least we are insured.

They will of course regret it.

Oh what a wonderful afternoon!

First I spent most of the time having such wonderful intellectual conversation with some sort of vegetable working for HFC!

Discussing such amazingly fascinating topics as 'why have you no details of our account'? And 'What are you spending hours looking up information about a different account I have with you even after I have explained that it is NOT the one I want!' - Oh the joy!

While trying to fill the time between these exciting phone calls hunting around the house and gardens for Cally who seems to have a psychic power of invisibility when it's time to go to the vet. How wonderful to have such a cleaver cat!

When, with much sorrow I was forced to say goodbye to HFC I went to take some things to the bank for Viv. And how nice of them to realise I was coming and decide to close just on time for me not to be able to get there.

Then to the job centre to have a form signed. Obviously the bank had been on the phone to them first and advised them to close too.

Meanwhile I decided to try out Everquest again. To find my account had been cancelled. Nice of them really, to do that without informing me.

Even nicer for them to wait until I had spend 3 or 4 hours downloading file updates first.

And of course. When I went to the test program another several hours of updates to get.

Oh what a fun day.

Okay. I haven't updated for a few days. Very typical of me!

Lets see...

Feeling better about the job. Excited really, a bit apprehensive, not sure what to wear! I think my suit would be best, probably.

We had a great meal out on Halloween. Lots of fun. When we got back the house had been 'egged' aren't kids just great!

Anyway. What else?

Buffy has been poorly. Her fur was getting thin on one side to I took her to Vets. She HATES being in the car! Meowed all the way there. She was okay with Vet though. He said she might have an allergy, so gave her an injection.

Had to take her again a couple of days later because she went very thin and was being sick!

He said she had worms and gave her another injection. She dose seem to be getting better now. Moving about a little and has started to eat a little.

What else? Hmmm.

Built a little fence outside using a pole and lots of brambles. Not much use, but the kids might trip over it.

When out for a drink with Andy. Ended up in Yates when they had a karaoke night! Obviously we didn't sing! But music was okay (a bit loud)

Having fun with HP-Hogwarts. Me trying to do my Diplomat bit. Still time will tell.

Do I agree with people too much? Something Andy said 'I'm the one that always agrees' I think it's because I understand people too much! If someone says something I disagree with I will tell them, and if we discuss it, fine. I don't try and push my view onto them, no point unless they are open to change their mind. If I'm wrong I'll admit it, no problem. If I'm right and they still won't change their mind what's the point of pushing it? I'm Confuddled ;)

Thinking hard over last few days. What else happened

Coventry University offered me an interview, but it was paying even less so I declined.

Office angles has got me one for 9th, but given me no information! I'll see if I can call them.

Sarah has set up a 'live' web cam page! LOL I'm sure that girl has an exhibitionist streak! LOL

And hopefully Mandy is coming over on Sunday. :)

Off to Coventry later.

Well I 'think' that's about it. I'll update again if I remember more.
