I'm at the helm again!

Well, M is away again and has asked me to bore or befuddle you all. Alice and I have had our now traditional steak, egg and chips for tea whilst M is away. I have put a, hopefully, final coat of stopping on her office walls. I should have got to this stage yesterday but as M had made a timetable cock-up and thus had to work late. This made it essential that I should take Alice to her riding lessons. By the time I returned and fed the pigs then we had our tea, it was too late to press on any further yesterday. I had hoped to be at the stage where I could have cleaned up tomorrow before H gets home from school camp. She will have to wade through the dust and corruption.

I gave Alice a strong word of advice regarding her homework this evening. After testing her on her spellings, on which she had improved by two since Monday, I had occassion to glance through her book. Well, I was disgusted by the standard of work she is handing in and the quality also. Alice of course became indignant and huffy despite me making it clear that whilst I was not telling her off, I thought she was slacking and left her in no way uncertain that this was so. I hope she improves.

Work has been quite quiet, I am catching up on those unregistered dogs still, now making my second tour of those addresses where I had no reply previously. One chap felt my wrath today as he presented me with a very iffy set of answers in respect of my questions. I happened to notice that there was at least one other dog which was not registered on our system and so he had a polite notice asking for him to register the mutt forthwith. I can't stand people who are so stupid as to think that they can get the better of one by being a pain in the arse! People please note.

Well, I shall leave you on that note and hopefully, M will be steering a better course than I by Friday night. Sleep well all. Eric
