One of the manager for a local post office literally phoned me, yesterday: to see if I could come in for an interview.
I said ‘No’: as I wanted to write a letter of complaint to my former employers, about the way things had gone.
I’m KICKING myself! As the job sounded ideal!
Once I’d finished what I had to do? I managed to phone the interviewer, to let her know I’d be available for the rest of the day.
But lord knows what’s going to happen, there … !
~≈†≈~
Another thing to worry about? At least, to be kicking myself about?
Is the finances.
I’m now claiming benefits: and due to have my initial claim interview, tomorrow.
I can live with that.
But?
Only a few days ago, I’d’ve been looking forward to the 5th November: as the day sees the release of the completely animated version of The Power of the Daleks.
The long lost story is a Dalek one — obviously — and notable for being Troughton’s first.
I’m mildly gutted!
But hoping a minor miracle happens, to let me afford it …

Let’s move on, shall we? Before I get too depressing!
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

* Oh, an app? Could be a problem, Olga, as I don’t have the coding skills! It helps if you’ve got the mentality of a chess player! But publishing ebooks … ? Could WELL be the way to go …
† It has been a while, hasn’t it, Debbi? (We’re starting to sound like an old married couple: DON’T TELL RICK I SAID THAT!!!!!)
Q1) Anglican Church Q2) Japan Q3) The Blitz Q4) James Callaghan Q5) China (I found 1901) I hope you get a call back, Paul. I know there are services that offer the creation of Apps for books (so far more for interactive books for kids), and Fiverr might be a good option... Good luck!
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
