Well, I’ve had a rubbish week.

    Well, I’ve had a rubbish week.

    I’ve spent all day every day for over a week tidying up one of our main database’s content. The more I look the more rubbish I find. It’s holding up the next phase of testing of an important product. Luckily, I’ve not found any problem with data that we are currently using.

    On Thursday morning I was given grief from the Old Bill fishing for evidence to convict one of my neighbours and suspicious of what I am up to in a nearly empty flat. It put me off what I was trying to sort out all day.

    Today I’ve been getting grief off my sister.

    The best thing that’s happened this week has been my mum finally dying in the early hours of Tuesday morning. It’s a horrid thing to say, but it was a relief that it was over.

    The parrot is squawking STELLA again.
    Blair, you cannot reach me now,
    No matter how you try,
    Goodbye cruel Labour,
    Your end is nigh.

    It's a bad week when the best thing that happens is your mum dies.

    Hope you have a better week next week.

      Toast the end of the week with a flagon of grog, matey. Next week will be better.

        Sounds as if you need a weekend of getting a few things sorted... a night on the tiles to let off steam, and a new week ahead where things may not be forgotten, but at least 'under control'.... happens to us all, and my sympathies to you.

                    I'm very sad to hear that CB, but I know what you mean.
