Isn't it funny how contrary some days can be? This isn't just a rhetorical question, more of an observation.
Yesterday (Wednesday)was just such a day.
Regular readers my have been waiting in paroxysms of agony to find out how I got on at the Fellowship assessment board last Sunday.
It wasn't easy, and I made a few mistakes. However I managed to BBB my way through and yesterday I was informed that I am now a Fellow of the National Association of Toastmasters. I am pleased as punch. In many ways it will make very little difference to my work and the amount of work I get, but it's just a nice feeling.
That was the good news.
The first bit of bad news is that driving out last night a tyre went on the car.
The second bit of bad news is about Jack, my son.
When Jack came back from Meribel at the start of this year he managed to get himself taken on as an apprentice plumber. This is A Good Thing. People will always need toilets.
However.......... he came home on Wednesday evening and announced that his employer was giving up his business and possibly moving to Australia!
This is A Bad Thing.
Jack now has to try and find another plumber to take him on. This is not an easy task in the current economic climate.
On top of all of this, after an abject display England are out of the Rugby World Cup
Back to more mundane things then.
More Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies work and enquiries are coming in. So now that I am Geoffrey Harris FNAT I can really cut a dash.
It is also the start of the Ghost-walk season with the year's first trip to Center Parcs coming up this weekend.
That's it for now then gentle reader.
Live Long And Be Toastmastered.
