Monday 12th April and some semblance of opening has returned. Wendy went off to work this morning for the first time since December. It is odd sitting here without her. We have been together for most days, most of the time and while I will admit the has been the odd fractious moment, we are best friends and love each other, so we get on 99% of the time. I guess after almost 41 years of marriage we have learnt to tolerate our idiosyncratic ways and even if we find them annoying have learnt to say nothing. Having said that there are times when a good shout clears the air and frustration, sometimes we bicker simply because we want to!
Yesterday Wendy decided to apply for a local job online. As most of you are aware I am very computer literate and understand most formats.Firstly I had to write a new CV for her as she has not needed one for almost 22 years of the same employment. It was easy and brief. Getting the document uploaded on the website was a different matter, it took nearly over an hour of trying to get the application to accept the document and involved a writing it again on a laptop. I hate windows and how slow it is, not to mention all its quirks and other windows that popped up as I was trying to type the document again. Lesson learnt, Apple and normal .doc formats are not easily compatible. I will confess that when the submission finally got sent we did high five and whoop!
I am going to go for my first ride in Kettering today and explore. It will interesting to find fresh roads to pedal after years of the same routes in Northampton, of course I might get lost, who knows! I went for a walk yesterday and to my surprise around the corner is a Classic Car and Motorcycle showroom and workshop. They specialise in Scimitar cars and I have never seen so many in one place or at all for many years. They also had a number of classic motorcycles and scooters. I spoke to the owner and he said that they export parts all over the world for the Scimitar and have been in business for 40 years. There is always a treasure hidden away you stumble upon.
Stay well
