Updates (crap title but better than nothing)

The Autoglass thing I believe is near enough sorted. My insurers are so annoyed at the attitude of Autoglass that they are going to pay for the repairs themselves. As they said, Autoglass had a duty of care and that included to them to check out the car before commencing any work. That they didn’t do that kind of invalidates any argument so they’ll do it.
 
This morning I had an interview at the job centre and it all went just as I planned. The guy seemed amazed at how confident I was and seemed to find it thoroughly refreshing that I was keen to start work. He made a point of saying there was no way I was sorted to lower spec jobs, I was just too experienced for that so that has to be good. I have set up a meeting with an advisoy body next week to explore how to clarify my skills and that should lead into some quite useful training, I am really looking forward to it. It’s like a whole new begining for me.
 
This afternoon I have a meeting with the BBC which I am sure is not influencing social services in any way to make a point of having someone call me back even if it is one of the bosses to deal with minor details. I am quite enjoying this and my upbeat feeling is still here, amazing.
 
Quite worried about Robin, he doesn’t seem at all well. I know these things come and go but it’s quite upsetting all the same, wish there was something I could do about it.
 
Off to see Pete this evening and may try to get over to Robin after that if there is time.

Two days in a row

For two days now I have felt quite happy for no apparent reason despite having good reason for not feeling that way. Of course, it is not all good news, physically I am positively not so clever at all but I guess that will sort itself out.
 
The car, no change since yesterday, no one called.
 
Went to look at two care homes earlier, one in St Neots, the other in Bedford. The first was a waste of time, they didn’t even have any vacancies which could have been communicated before visiting of course. The second seems like it could be ideal but potentially expensive, I can’t see social services going for it, or, I can see them stalling for so long over who would fund it that by the time they agree to there are no vacancies anyway.
 
I think I have the day off tomorrow, no one has said otherwise as yet though my mate Paul did mention something about visiting but then, he also said something about calling first. As he hasn’t, I assume he isn’t coming. Robin will be over in the afternoon though to go over a script with Matt.
