I see here that my ex-employer Norwich Union are dumping yet more staff.

I can’t say I’m suprised, I could see this coming in March when I took voluntary redundancy.

Difficult to see it as any more than a cynical cost cutting exercise, and it’s not as if they’re losing money!

Envy, envy, envy!

My sister has just bought herself a Corvette, (I thought it was men who were supposed to get a mid-life crisis!) yesterday she let me drive it.

Trouble is, now I want one……  wonder if Santa could get one down the chimney at Christmas!

Soggy August

Some of you may be aware that I have an interest in the weather and operate my own weather station.

Well I can report that August was positively soggy with 119.1mm of rain out of an annual total so far of 325.4mm, that’s 37% of the total rainfall so far this year falling in one month!
