A fine example of how a good start to a day can go down hill rapidly.  Our morning walk started around 06-30am.  The weather was fine, with a rising sun and little wind.  We met up with colleagues Rod and his two spaniels, and Graham with his alsatian.  In the space of half a mile, we managed to put the world to rights, discuss the weekends football, and aquaint ourselves with local gossip (non).  A good breakfast, two sausages and two eggs then off to work.  And that's when it started to go wrong.  Vehicle licences!  I told how the powers that be printed the reminders before the budget; well, you try explaing this to angyr customers.  I started off being apologetic but after a while, I decided it wasn't my fault, so why should I apologise.  So I wrote a note and stuck it to the P. O. screen, explaining the situation, and asking customers not to shoot the messenger.  It helped... a bit.  I was glad when lunch time came along.  Home, and liver with caulie. 

After lunch I went back to the P.O. where I was greeted with the news that they were £40 short!!!   Of course, Vicky had left it too late to go back through her figures.  I was glad of Lynda's company for the afternoon.  It was busy and we had £40 to find.  It took us all afternoon, but we found it, in a number of mistakes.  The highlight of my day was managing to submit my P35 tax return on line.  I have come on in leaps and bounds with this computer malarky.  Tonight I'm going for a swim, and then a few pints with friends from the diving club.
