After a week or so off of
work my holiday ended. And so (predictably) I was wide awake
at 3am. I hate that. I got up shortly after 6am and watched
BattleStar Galactica DVDs over brekkie whilst I combed FF. When we
first got his comb he hated it, but now he's come to love it. I only
have to pick it up and he will jump on my lap.
And so to work. I only
listen to the news as I drive to work. I've not missed much.
The news was all
a-twitter about the government's latest initiative; the inspectorate
of hospitals.
On the one hand I can't
help but feel it will be little more than another way to bully an
overworked body of people who already have quite enough stress in
their lives.
On the other hand I
wonder if I might apply for a job with them.
Here's something to bear
in mind. If you are buying a house beware. In the past I learned the
difference between a valuation and a full structural survey. For
those of my loyal readers who are unsure of the difference, the main
point is that a valuation may find all sorts of problems with the
house, (even if the house may still be worth the asking price)
but the valuer is under no obligation to tell you about them. However
with a survey you get told what's wrong. Just getting a valuation
means you may end up with subsidence, dry rot and all sorts of
problems for which you can't sue the surveyor. It turns out that if
the house you buy is haunted, you similarly
have no legal recourse.
I stopped off at
Morrisons for some shopping before work. I've now been stopping off
there for nearly two years. Today I realised for the first time that
not only is there cashpoint machines there, they also have a quite
substantial recycling centre too. It's amazing what you miss when you
are not paying attention.
I've had a really good
little holiday over this last week. In comparison today was rather
dull...
