Yes it was originally Skype, the day before the interview they changed it to teams and half an hour before the interview she e-mailed me to say it was to be done on Skype!Oh dear. Hugs.
But it sounds you got some good experience with that Skype interview @Mrs T 123
It doesn't sound as though they were very prepared for the interview.
Yes I am a great believer in what is meant for you won't go by you and all that ... and the chocs did helpSorry to hear you did not get that job. Others will come along I'm sure.
Good to see you are supporting Thornton by eating 3 Chocolates, every little helps.
Thank youYou are working very hard in your garden...
Two brilliant backgrounds @Muddy Cyclist
Every day in the countryside is a great day in this tremendous gift of life we have and if we can share it with someone we are fortunate after 59 years.Congratulations, I'm sure you will find a great way to celebrate at home.
Hugs for cars, great when working a pain in the derrière when not.good evening all
4.7 yesterday and 4.7 today
fell alseep yesterday evening and missed posting, we'd been up early to drop the car off and do the shopping, finally got the 'steering fault' car back, they've cleaned all the contacts on the sensors and now we keep our fingers crossed that it has worked otherwise looks like it may be expensive. So far so good.
We got that car because Mum couldn't get out of the older one but we kept the old volvo as a backup, which we were glad of this week but it developed a horrible grinding on the way home yesterdaymr gee says he thinks it's a drive shaft bearing. Can't get it into the garage until next Wednesday, not our week for cars
Otherwise it's been a lovely day todayso warm and sunny there were kids playing in the sea. We enjoyed our walk round the village.
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - Your dragons are very effective and I enjoyed their backstoryI especially like the way you've used the green shadows and mirrored it in the foreground.
How nice for you to have your 'fairy' things around the garden and your toadstool painting glowsI see the dragon is putting in a guard shift there too.
Postcrossing sounds like a really interesting and friendly way to communicate @gennepher but
you're braver than me going for a fountain pen, I do think they make you concentrate on the form of your writing though.
@BRSBRI - hugs for mrs B and many congratulations to your daughter
@Cumberland - nice to see you
@alf_Josiah - good results
@Mrs T 123 - commiserations and better luck next time.
@dunelm - what a fantastic sense of scale both your mountain pictures have, like them both very much. I'm with you on the idea of ironing the paper, I like the effects the water has and the way it adds to the texture.
@Muddy Cyclist - haven't sung 'Now is the month of Maying' for years, you managed a fine performance despite the technical difficulties of being separated.
I really like you Aldburgh painting, the colour in the sky and the complementary echoes in the water and foreground are lovely, very dramatic with just the silhouette of the buildings
and two fine skies to start the next part of the series, I do enjoy seeing this stage and then the finished paintings.
@lindisfel - many congratulations to you both
art bit -
I've ordered some bigger paper which will hopefully be coming in the next few days, got to try it sometime
some unusual colours seen on the way home from Mum's a few days ago, the sea was quite coppery and the hills violet

Don't give up, our body chemistries are all different, roll with the punches. Any below a 10 is good for me and me's with all my chemical help. We are all rooting for you.7s all day again today - could be better but I suppose it could be worse - sooo weird and no stress at all today so?
It is really sad that this sort of thing happens. I do agree that she has a fab sense of humour.Just jaw dropping. She's also suffered verbal abuse when she was in Emergency. And all she and her colleagues were doing is simply trying to help...
Still has a fab sense of humour she said "Imagine going to Cash Converters with a Littmann stethoscope and asking how much for this chief"? !
Hugs for cars, great when working a pain in the derrière when not.

Meal sounds delicious @Muddy CyclistGood Morning and 6.1 for me today. High again but this time I know why, self inflicted as I ignored the advice of Mrs MC and had too much Carrot and Parsnip Mash with some locally made Pork sausages that did have 3 grams of Carbs per sausage. Felt I deserved the risk after all the fence painting, regret it this morning, such is life.
Misty start here but promises to remain dry so with a bit of luck and a fair wind I shall finish the fences and put a second coat of paint on the shed.and bin store. Might even paint the wood store as I seem to have a can of paint left over.
Keep safe and seek something memorial from the day.
It was said on world service that the reaction is due to the immune system over reacting.For those curious about the Jab side effects.
a little background you may have missed
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56375307
"The older you are, the less the side effects - the over-70s have almost no side effects."
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - grey garden - sounds like a municipal car park - have fun!Thank you. I gave in on taking it easy and went out fence painting. Apparently next dooor neighbour says it's next Wednesday for lumberjack show.
Only 6 panels left to paint. Shed now repaired replaced rotten wood and now painted a nice shade of grey, not my choice I like my wood looking like wood. Mrs MC wants everything grey some gardener on TV says it's the way to go.
Also the exercise worked, aches gone, head ache gone and I can add things to my done list, winner all around.
Like them Mountain tops bursting out of the misty valley, good art from your good self.
