The weather for march here in Farnham has on the whole been pretty boring. We have had some strong winds up to 32mph. Temperatures have been near normal and we have had little rainfall.
With the clocks going forward it has been a quiet start to spring.
Well I’ve had a day off sick followed by my three rest days and the back is now much better. Even managed to get down to the allotment and do some digging!! Also I’ve calmed down a bit over work, but I’m back there tomorrow for a training day, apparently nothing specific planned so it will probably be really boring.
Did you see the Grand Prix? Great to see another brit winning, about time Jenson Button had a good race and a victory. Looks like this F1 season is going to be a good one and more interesting than recent years.
The weather here has been quite good which always makes me feel better. Spent yesterday washing the car so its now all nice and shiny.
Bye for now
Ok Ok so it’s been a while since I last posted.
Well it’s been one of those weeks. Things at work are getting worse each day the changes they are making to our job seem to get worse. I don’t want to say too much about what I do but we were spending our time driving around Surrey on the main roads assisting drivers and others who had broken down or had an accident, everything from a minor bump to a full on serious injury accident and worse. It was a great job and you felt you were really achieving something. Now the powers that be say we can no longer cover the county but have to stay in one small area dealing with minor local issues. It’s not the job we applied for, trained for or have been doing for the last few years, we may still be asked to attend the more serious accidents on the major roads but not often. We are so annoyed and frustrated by the lack of consultation or discussion, and the fact that these changes have been forced upon us by senior management who have never even visited us to see what we actually do, that many of us are looking for work elsewhere. In the current economic climate and at my age I really could do without the worry of having to find another job. The new working practice starts next week so will have to wait and see if its as bad as we’re expecting …or worse
Not only have I had to put up with all this but I managed to be so tense about it that I put my back into spasm and had to come home sick. 
Well that’s enough of my ranting, must remember to put the clocks forward as its the start of British summer time, and also tomorrow morning sees the first race of the new F1 grand prix season, now that I am looking forward to 
Had a couple of days just chilling out, a bit of weeding at the allotment, pottering around the house etc. The weather has been great, clear blue skies and pleasantly warm sunshine.
Had to go to the airport today to pick daughter and her boyfriend after their holiday in Egypt. They have had a great time and we’ve already been through the 485 photographs she has taken. She especially enjoyed swimming with Dolphins.
First of all sorry for not posting for a few days 
It’s been a pretty boring week at work and fairly quiet at home after last weeks fun and games. My daughter is now on holiday in Egypt, son has started his new job at the supermarket and seems to be getting on well.
My wife , Son and his girlfriend are out tonight watching the first leg of the Ice Hockey final between Guildford Flames and the Peterborough Pirates at the Guildford Spectrum, So I’m left dog sitting. The flames are our local Ice Hockey team and have been in the final each year recently. I’ll let you know the result tomorrow.
Bye for now 
Have you noticed the changes? Well I’ve improved the front page with a new version of the Ajax Dashboard and also added a “Bulletin Board” to make announcements and to put weather predictions etc on. Many thanks to Scott and others at Webster Weather Live.
Phew! Well after yesterdays trauma today was a little bit less hectic. The dog was improving all the time. We phoned the vet as her heart rate still seemed erratic, and arranged to go and see him this evening. It seems she has been very lucky, had she been a couple of years older then she would be dead by now. Any way the vet examined her and although she is not completely recovered she seems to be over the critical stage.
As for the rest of the day it was fairly quiet. Tonight my daughter was packing her bags ready to fly off on holiday to Egypt tomorrow, lucky girl.
So it will have to be an early night as she will be leaving at about 5 am for the airport.
so I think that will do for today. Back tomorrow.
So I thought “a day off,Ican relax again” But it never works out that way does it?
First of all despite my better half also having a day off I had to get up to give her a lift to work, just so she could deliver the cakes she made yesterday to the office as it was a workmates birthday.
Miss Innocent!
We were only gone half an hour but by the time we got back our dog, an 18 month old springer spaniel had manged to help herself to a large bag of salt and vinigar crisps and a very large very bitter dark chocolate bar, probably about 8oz!
Then off I went to the allotment where I did lots of digging and rotorvating getting ready to start this seasons seed planting. I worked very hard for a couple of hours before I decided that was enough for today.
On my return my wife was busy writing her essay for her university project, she is trying to get back into nursing so is doing a course part time at guildford uni. The dog was getting very hyperactive.
By the time the kids came home from work the dog, Izzy, was in quite a state, she could not settle her heart was racing and she was hot and panting. A quick check on the internet and we realised the chocolate she had eaten could kill her. So wife and daughter took her off to the vet.
They returned about an hour later without Izzy. She was to spend the night at the vets so they could give her heart tablets and monitor her overnight. But an hour after that the vet phoned and we thought the worse, however it was not the news we dreaded. In fact despite having been given a sedative she would not let the vet or nurse anywhere near her, growling and snarling at them everytime they went near the cage. So it was back to thevet to collect her and for us to try and give her the tablets.
Izzy got back home and took her tablet without any problem. She is still very on edge and won’t settle. We have to give her a second tablet at 4 in the morning.
Luckily I’m not back to work ’til Thursday. Perhaps tomorrow will be more relaxing… watch this space.
