I agree and respect you much for the positive outlook... BUT IT STILL SUCKS MAJOR!!! It’s very hard to see “that plan” I like to refer to so much in situations like these but I will sure be praying!

He just laughed, then probably wrote that I'm possibly a psychiatric case on my notes!
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]shows his credibility
You haven’t found this out yet?? LYN, you must be a damn saint.... there are few and far between who wouldn’t just love a reason to sue someone with a fraction of a reason that you have!
I hope you share that with many! I’m so proud for you
Did I show you what my brother in law does for a living?
He's a pole lathe turner and credited with single handedly reviving the ancient craft of turning bowls on a pole lathe. He now also forges his own tools. This led to him helping to found the Heritage Crafts Association and then to an MBE medal from the Queen for his services to heritage craft

It's not exactly warm here, but -6C (20F) is toasty compared with what's happening in the US.
Ooh lovely. The weather should be perfect in September. Not too hot. What ports will you call at?
One of your finest!
Lyn it is worth contacting the Citizens Advice Bureau for advice on this. Do please find out who his insurers are and lodge a claim... There is also the criminal injuries compensation fund. I don't know how it works out with sick pay for you, but you should claim loss of earnings and you should also claim for additional expenses like taxis and having stuff delivered or getting people to help you.

I don't actually have any cold symptoms now. Only a cough
And it is still keeping me awake at night
Good morning all. We have woken to freezing fog. Very very cold out so I shall be stuck indoors again.
My first job today is to email the Clerk to my Governors Board to apologise for a meeting I should be attending tomorrow. I ducked out of a full day of meetings yesterday as I would not have survived, but reserved judgement on Friday hoping that I would get some sleep. I feel bad, but I just don't want to go out in the cold and don't think it is safe to drive when I am coughing so violently.
I have happier things to fill you in on though so I shall do that separately

Happy things post:
1. Before my trade show, I met with a school friend who I haven't seen in 25 years. She moved to the USA all those years ago and currently lives in Missouri City in Texas. She was briefly in London awaiting her husband who was flying in having been working in Poland; he is British too. I booked afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason and we spent 4 hours catching up. It was wonderful! ( @Moozillion when you eventually make it to London this is where I'm taking you!)
2. Proud Mum 1: Daughter has been nominated for two separate awards by her employer. "Graduate of the Year" with the National Apprenticeship and Graduate Training Awards. And "Rising Star" with the Institute of Ecologists which is the professional body for her line of work.
Her job seems a little less cute and cuddly this time of year - she was out all night Monday supervising a road maintenance crew digging a drainage ditch that had to avoid some important wildlife habitat. Apparently it was "<expletive> freezing". However, she has also been doing interesting historical research into some woodland to discover if it is "ancient" in legal terms (at least 400 years old) and is going through very old hand-drawn maps and historical documents.
3. Proud Mum 2: Son has passed his probationary period at his employer and been given a whopping 12% payrise! So he is doing very well too!
