Another week draws to an end

The boss(he) had his procedure on Wednesday and althougth he looked a little white was OK and by Thursday was taking things easy but moving around fine. Only discomfort was at night when laying down, but that had gone by Thursday too.

Out with D these last few days and the number of Wrens flitting in and around the bushes is amazing. Most of the year you hardly see them. Many birds are now actively starting to look for a mate. Before long the nest building will start in earnest and the garden will be alive with activity.

Michelle has posted on her blog about the latest "Rogue Trader" which dealt with puppy farms and one that she had first had knowledge of too. She also covers this in detail in her book "PuppyPower" which I have mentioned before as a good book for any would be or existing dog owner.

I hear that the ex head of RBS, Sir Fred Goodwin, has declined to give up his over £693,000 per year pension. If he gave half of it back that's still more than many people earn in 10 years,as his pension. No wonder the banking system is in a state with sums of money like that going out to someone no longer there (at RBS)and responsible for the state that bank got in. #
If they paid less at the top and distributed it throughout the bank then customers would get a better service and not be changed ridiculous sums for refusal of a cheque or the likes. A complete overall of the banking system is needed including bonuses, if any, and what the customer gets and pays for and the services and advice they receive.

The weather has been pretty good for the time of year. Mild with temperatures reaching double figures, although a keen wind has made it appear colder when it blows. The family have a lot to do this weekend. Me I'm going to chill out and enjoy any sun there is. Take care a remember change nothing and expect nothing to change.
