In financial services it’s definitely going to become a must have to be able to successfully WFH policy at lest 2-3 days a week I reckon.

Genuinely think that the way this funeral was run is a huge moment and should open the eyes of anyone who was codded into thinking that the political leadership of SF have any power.

Was just looking up the architecture person we both have a mild distaste for. Someone was berating me yesterday because she has apparently 'researched 1000s of buildings'. Seems she has no PhD and never published any research. I'm not saying either of those are particularly important for knowing something, but her perspective is meant to be research expertise.
Someone was making the point the other day that certain people were all for co-living when it was poetry reciting communes, but now they think co-living is subhuman inhospitable hell.

Caen: amusement park is called 'Festyland' and the beaches are good. There's also a really good WW2 museum but kids won't care.
Granville is I think where you access the D Day beaches but again kids won't give a shite."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Had a difficult day where I got bounced against my better judgement into having my father who was a bit more confused than usual and a bit lethargic than usual admitted to hospital. When he left in the ambulance it was clear that he wasn't going to be coming home again because once he's admitted to hospital the homecare package he is on will be cancelled and then he would only be discharged to a nursing home. That is on the agenda for the medium term but the only place we are comfortable for him to go to is still not accepting people after a terrible covid outbreak and I'm worried that we could end up having to go to wherever is available as hospital will want him out sooner rather than later.
After 7 hours waiting to see a doc it ended up that he came back to himself , not a thing wrong with him that they can improve in hospital so most unexpectedly the A&E consultant doesn't want to admit him and was ordering up an ambulance to send him home. That's great but then I got caught in a standoff between homecare and the hospital. Hospital don't do covid tests in A&E , only for admitted patients and homecare won't come back to anyone who has been in hospital unless they have a negative test result. In fairness that sounds like a reasonable position and appears to be backed up by hse policy. Hospital were having none of it and it took a while for them to agree to do the swab in A&E so all going well he'll be coming back tomorrow!

I see Fontaines DC are back with a new album and lathers of accidental Partridge:
"Some people feel that we were speaking on behalf of Dublin when we wrote Dogrel. The album is influenced by Dublin, but I don’t feel like I’ve any licence to speak for Ireland"
"We wanted to capture the underbelly of LA, but what we had was too polished."
Lol. Lisa Simpson goes to rock school.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostWe've the ferry back booked for August 20th and will probably be leaving the house a few days beforehand, so thinking of spending a few days somewhere near Cherbourg. Have it narrowed down to either Granville (optimistically called by itself 'the Monaco of the North'), Bayeux (of tapestry fame), or Caen (as there's a dinky amusement park there that might keep the kids entertained). I'm fully aware of the rule that nothing good has ever happened in Normandy, but has anyone spent any time in any of those places and would recommend or not recommend? Bayeux strikes me as the classic potential one-trick pony, with a tapestry that is probably as dull as the book of kells and where every shop and cafe will likely be tapestry themed. Although from the photos it looks quite nice. Caen looks a bit happening but ordinary. Granville looks not up to much but is highly recommended on the regional touristic bodies which tend to put their best foot forward in where they recommend going.
