whist he is not looking

 As that big male human wont give me a blog, i will use this as he is not looking. he is busy getting ready for a course this weekend. 

Why do humans have a nice warm room to go toilet in, without humans watching. I have to go in all weather, getting cold, wet and muddy. to top it off I cant go without humans seeing me. its upsetting being watched all the time, talk about degrading. you humans would not like it if I made you go poo outside in the dark on a cold, wet night with me stand in the woods hole waving a light thing at you.

Until next time, tail wag and lick on your face.

gearing up

Well, I am getting myself geared up for the Trainers training course. By treating myself with the money I got for Christmas by buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 in the boxing day sales.
Also by doing repairs to my laptop, all i have got left do is getting my voice recognition software working again, hopeful that will help with my paperwork, dyslexia is a pain at times.

Technology has be a tremendous tool in cutting down the affect dyslexia has in my daily life. I would not of even thought of doing a trainer course. if it was not for having a (old) laptop, with a spell checker.

So I may be a bit light on blogging for the next few weeks, whist I do the coursework. I just hope the dog has not got his eyes on my blog.

really billy, really.

Billy our chocolate lab, has been on my PC. He is asking for his own blog. Ok a dog with a blog, that just weird. anyway I thought I would share what would be his first posting, if I signed him up for a blogging account.

Why doesn't the postman like me. I run to the door shouting 'hello, how are you today?', when he drop the post though the little hole. 
When he bring a box thing for the humans of the house, and they open the door. I always jump off my seat and run over shouting ' hello it nice to see you, how are you? have you got many box thing today?' and he steps back away from me.
Oh why does the postman hate me. 
 Until next time, tail wag and lick on your face. 

Ok, he is trying to nick my sign off. It been doggified, however it starts like mine. When did he learn to type and spell in English. And the big one for me, How the hell did he find out what the Password on my account was!!

Whist I am working that out, there is only one thing to say.

Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.

New Year

Well here we are, 2014. The end of 2013 marks the end of a long difficult year, full of ups and downs.
From the first anniversary of my dads passing, though to being selected to go on the St John Trainers course. All whist fighting the ongoing battle with the black dog.

I can not see 2014 being any different. As I have come to a conclusion that no matter what year it is, life is always a mix bag of ups and downs. New years resolutions come and go, however the mixed bag is always there, so I decided on a easy resolution. To carry on fighting the back dog as I have done over the last 12 months.

Talking of a mixed bag, that can be used to explain my Job over the last 12 months. During the year a member of the department I work in injured himself in a way that put him off work for 6 months. I started to cover one part of his duties, locking/ unlocking our Baschurch campus.

Then as part of my job is being a handyperson. (PC I know). So I was asked to look at a few thing, and by the end of the six months I was doing a relief caretaker type job when at the campus. No skin of my nose, yet another string to my bow.

So now i am a relief caretaker for Baschurch Campus, I end up doing job over there. Like working with Nicky on temporary sleeping accommodation arriving on site before term starts Monday.
The Truck and the TSA



This is what I was doing today with Nicky. Getting the tracks down for the truck, guiding the driver down them, help getting them into position, then we had to work hard to get the truck back onto the car park.

It had been raining on and off all over Christmas, and the ground was wet to say the least. At one point I did wonder if it should of been issued it own flood warning, as it passed me going on firing a jet of muddy water out from under one of the track boards, directly at me. And no I don't have a photo of myself after that event.

After getting even more muddier packing up the trackway, the truck driver was due a break (by law) so we retired to the caretakers workshop/ tea room, nickname 'the shed' for a well deserved hot drink and a warm up.

So it was then that I realised, same sort of stuff different year.
