Sounds good @Pat E. I hope it continues well for him and how clever to have you as backup for Pixel care.
The rain has cycled away to the west in an anticlockwise wave. Bums. Got my assorted cabbages planted tho and some oak leaf lettuce and have sent a couple of dozen snails flying across the road to the hedgerow - al hiding round one herby window box on the herb bed wall. Humph!

Yes @floralies I can see that on the rain radar map. I'd love some but we are set to be dry now till we maybe get some on Saturday. Seeing is believing.
At least I'll have good weather for driving up to Nantes tomorrow for the Amour du Fil salon - patchwork expo and fabric and doings on sale. Yum.

@takhana Don’t give up hope yet. Lots of things delayed by Covid absences, parents taking time out for the school holidays plus the Easter break itself. Keep looking though, something better might come up in the meantime.
You're quite right. Application now just says "Under review" so I guess they've just had such a volume to get through they are changing them individually. Trouble is the longer it goes on the longer I have to sit and re-read the job ad and my application and pick fault! This is the first job in a long time I've seen that's not in the NHS that has the right transferable skills in the right area for the right pay which is why I'm so anxious about it.
Beautiful Spring day here this evening, rather grotty this morning though. Had to quarantine a butternut squash inside as one of it's leaves has been chomped - no obvious culprit in the green house but I'm not risking it! Just the one leaf of four though. Weird.
Very tired this evening. Didn't sleep last night as I stayed over at Secondborns' and I never sleep well in another bed. She spent the day in court today (started at 9 got home at 6). She is now financially separated from her soon to be ex. Didn't get everything she wanted but can at least get back on the property ladder and managed to fight off his attempt to get his hands on her pension. She would have had to get a forensic accountant to get to the bottom of the savings he has hidden and it would have cost a fortune. I'm off to bed now, hope everyone sleeps well.
Hello all … guess what … we’re back home … MIL woke this morning with a sore throat and sniffles and tested positive.
We tested negative and she sent us home.
She said she feels OK just tired … didn’t seem to have a temperature … she has plenty of paracetamol etc, food and milk (and birthday cake) and she just wanted to rest at home in peace until she’s better.
Friends and neighbours will keep an eye on her through the front windows etc and OH’s big sister lives just a couple of villages away so she’ll keep a close eye too. MIL really didn’t want us fussing around her and TBH if we’re going to be ill we’d rather be at home. Also my car is booked in for its MOT on Monday so I really need to be back here if possible.
So now we’re just hunkering down for a few days and waiting to see what happens …
Night night all … sleep tight 😴

Interesting event this morning. I was standing at the kitchen sink and looking out the window when I saw an animal behind a shrub on the hill. It looked like the colour wasn’t right for a roo. Staring at it and wondering what it was when it twitched it’s ears and then moved up the hill. It was a deer! After telling Punkdoc that we don’t get deer! 🙄 The colour was a pale brown with paler chest. Very pretty. We can’t imagine where it came from. Certainly not next door who shoot everything that moves. 😡. Hubby sent his drone up to try for a better look, but couldn’t find it.
Another beautiful day, Deer have stayed away again. Hope your MIL is ok @Dovefromabove and that you don’t catch it. We are off to Cambridge tomorrow for: gastronomy, gardens and some Hockney.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
