Hady

Recently I wrote to a friend who I had not been in touch with for sometime. Hady is Egyptian and had been a neighbour when I lived in Welwyn Garden City. He was single at the time and we became very close.
Hady was courting a lady from South Africa called Rashida. Rashida worked in Toronto and we occasionally saw her and made her welcome and tried to encourage the relationship. After some ups and downs Hady and Rashida married and moved into a lovely house in Hertford.
In 2007 when my marriage started to go wrong and we started divorce proceedings I felt (perhaps unjustly) that Rashida particularly was siding with  my ex wife and whenever I saw her I felt as if I was being quizzed and whatever I had said was being fed back to my ex wife. It felt uncomfortable and as Hady was Rashida’s partner it meant we were alienated.

I made the effort  to get back in touch with Hady and had a positive response. I hope we can pick up our friendship.

Ice on the bird bath

It’s cold this morning with ice on the bird  bath.
Our router just went down. What a drag. I have ordered a  replacement netgear 750 but don’t get it until tomorrow.
I plucked up some courage and rang my Dad. Isn’t that crazy? Having to pluck up courage to speak to your own Dad. It was a very very brief conversation. It left me wondering why I get so stressed about it.
The garden is beginning to look very bare. Most of the leaves have now fallen and in a couple of days I will have the dubious pleasure of spending time sweeping them up.

The dogs haven’t been out since Sunday. I am feeling guilty but I am still feeling rough and my back is playing up. I may just take beattie for a small walk.

Suffering from a cold AGAIN

Today I have had to admit defeat and put my feet up. Angie went to church at 10.00 and left me with the dogs. I am suffering badly from a cold.
Angie got back from church and took the dogs for a walk while I stay in the warm. She was out for around 1.5 hours and then left again to have supper with Anna and Josh.

During the day Marlene and Paul rang to see if we were in but having explained I was unwell and Angie was out they agreed it wouldn’t be wise to come and see us. We have  subsequently been invited for kebabs on Saturday after the school Christmas fair.

A new job

Recently I attended a training session with a company called the green energy company. It is very different from fenland solar who I have been with since 2011.
My time at Fenland was mixed but it’s  time to leave.
In week one I sold two contracts for PV. In week two I only had two leads and last week I had 4 leads and sold two air to air systems.
