Hello again
Well, I’ve got my GP (General Practitioner) letter to add weight to our application to instal an air conditioning unit. All we need now is the site survey which is at the end of the month. Oh, and a form to fill in, asking permission to lower the …
Introduction
I have a terrible habit of buying non-fiction books and never finishing them. Instead, I read a chapter or two and it’s not exactly that I lose all interest, but I put it down and then don’t pick it up again. I look at the book sitting there amongst …
Yes, again!
For those of you living outside the UK who might not have been bombarded from all sides about the current shenanigans in Westminster, Keir Starmer is the 6th Prime Minister (PM) of the UK to go within 10 years. As of 22 June, having spoken to the …
