Canvas no more!

Didn't balls up the interview because I turned up to find the interview had been cancelled, the HR person even printed out the email that she had sent me, though there was a mistake in the address so I hadn't received it obviously.

Next day at my work, wearing a festive xmas jumper, I and everyone else were called into meetings- things were going to change at the behest of the french owners- and some of us are being made redundant. Many of the agents had the choice to remain under new contracts, all but 2 have chosen to go. Lesley and I, the team leads, are also choosing to go, though some staff, including Lesley will stay on into the chaotic month of January.

Been at work this weekend, the last for me at Canvas, and am in tomorrow and Tuesday, then I can think about the future and losing the 5kg I need to. Yes, my challenge is to get back into the gym going thing and stop being a bloater. Less stress will certainly help, as will the 4 months pay I have received.

What else happened?  Well, I have made my 200K steps target today, helped in part by a long almost 4 hour walk along to Leven, spent the night there in the Caledonian Hotel, then walked back again, well, almost, was pissing down, so bus was taken from Kirkcaldy to here :-).

Also went to the panto Jack and the Beanstalk at the Adam Smith Theatre, was good, this panto thing has become a bit of a tradition with us.

A new year approaches and-not for the first time- I say the years just fly by, maybe that is because you are not doing what makes you happy, those that have jobs they love are to be envied.

Anyway a lot of change ahead, all the best dear reader!

Here a few photos..one is form the mysterious Wemyss Castle (checked spelling) that I would like a tour of , where Mary Queen of Scots first met Lord Darnley after being introduced by me in 1565, would like to see if things have changed.. this was taken on the walk from Kinghorn to Leven. The other photos are from the panto and from the entrance to Balwearie High School- first time I passed there in 30 odd years, nothing had changed.

 See you on the other side..
