Question What is making you happy today?

You're right about how she uses the qualification, but Derby Uni have already told her that it doesn't increase her salary as a senior lecturer, she's just blown out NHS/Barnardos(Joint venture) as burn out was close, but maybe her private practice may generate her more fees, we shall see.

My real beef is that on our wall we have a mortar board mugshot of her BA, a second mortar board mugshot of her MA and we were hoping for a mugshot hattrick with a velvet tam. Not to be sadly.

The BMX kids winning Olympic medals despite having to crowd fund training whilst some of the poshos in certain other sports let us all down.

Had a lovely meal out last night at Latinos in Hadleigh - lots of very tasty food, and copious amounts of alcohol. Great to catch up with @The Big Shrimp and his lovely lady wife, and my friend who danced with the Bluebelles for her 60th a few seasons back, and her hubby. A perfectly normal evening out - and it felt wonderful!

Found two £5 notes blowing down the road yesterday.

Set menu 2 from my local Chinese for my supper tonight then???

Always good to have the family around you Phil. We had our brood down yesterday also, complete with 8 month old labrador who had absolutely no interest in our animal house rules and ended up parking herself across my feet at the dinner table falling asleep over dinner and snoring her head off! Poor old Maurice decided under the bed for the duration was the safest course of action.- Off to Dedham tomorrow to meet up with them again(they're staying there for a week) and my sister, to celebrate my birthday. Not too sure I want this one though, know what I mean?

The Reverend Richard Coles on Countdown telling a story of conducting a funeral where the chosen music was "Don't Leave Me This Way".

He said he didn't sing along as it would have been unprofessional!

Large doner for dinner.

We had walk out around seawall, Stambridge Mill, Rankins Cricket, and onto THE ROYAL OAK.
Just walked up and in at 6.30 PM, 4 person and dog, no problem.
Good beer, no fuss, good food, good service, fair price AND all very 2019!

Pub was reasonably busy when we arrived and almost empty when we left around 8.30.

I recommend it to you all.

I thought Stambridge Mill was long gone?

The shell of the mill is still there. It has been acquired by the London Land Group so I expect there will be a mini riverside village going up there over the next 5 years.
The speed of the housing build on the old Rocheway School site is phenomenal, as is the pricing.
And apparently Paglesham rural council have been told by RDC that they MUST put forward areas of land for 250 new build asap. Rumours are the overflow car park opposite Plough and Sail or field opposite that.
