Today I have been mostly...

[ruffers]

Getting a new job.

I work at a care home in Headingley which it transpires was built using the effing dodgy as eff bubble-concrete that was in the news a bit last year in the UK, as a load of schools had been built using it and they were starting to collapse, or be at risk of collapsing. Rather like the flammable cladding they covered Grenfall Towers and doubtless hundreds of other high-rise buildings in, you simply couldn't make it up. Except someone did, and then some government official somewhere green-lighted the use of it. Anyway, the care home is run as a charity by a bunch of nuns and they have no option but to close. Very gutting and unsettling for the poor old souls I look after, who call the building home, and now have to move across the country somewhere or find another home in Leeds at considerably greater expense to themselves. For many it's an absurdly traumatic time, against which my displacement is little more than mild inconvenience.

That said, I am very pleased, and relieved, to have sorted a new job at another home nearby. Few things finer than being able to walk to work.

Walking to work is game changing so very pleased you've not only got a new job but get to walk as well - but the first part of that post is a sorry but tragically increasingly common tale.

What a horrible situation for the residents
In addition to losing the place they call home, I'm sure they'll miss you Dave
But I'm very happy you secured a new job quickly
I'm also lucky enough to be able to walk to work....my commute involves making my way from the kitchen to the spare room!

...falling off my bike. However, does anyone else think that this rather attractive gash resembles the Eye of Horus from the cover of Vision Thing?

Oh hell ... ... but you're right ... ... full Horus Eye at least ... ...

... soaking in the ambience at the Brudenell, sat outside in the sunshine with @Charlie, popped over for a drink and a pieminster only to discover the place all abuzz with the In Colour Festival, whatever that might be. Sounded like some indie / electronica vibes coming out the various doors, lovely vibes all round and far from the worst way to spend a sunny Saturday in Leeds 6

Leeds 6 -the amphetamine capital of the East Riding.
