Composters and countries

Not been updating regularly which is very slack, given I have the time. A flurry of interviews has been and gone; some jobs don't turn out quite how you envisage them. I like to think that the right job is out there, but in fact any job might be quite good now just for some stability and routine (how exciting that sounds!) I enjoyed my temping with the Orders of St John Care Trust, it was such a mouthful for answering the phone, I had to read it off the letterhead every time. It wasn't exciting work but the people were lovely and it made the difference.  I am now applying for another job I have seen with them.

Today I spent all the day to-ing and fro-ing asking a man for a person specification which the job guidelines said you must refer to when applying, but he said there wasn't one, so how are you supposed to write an application without really knowing what they are looking for. I guessed. It's the same stuff all the time anyway.

Each day (or so) I am looking up a new composer and country. Except I keep googling "composters" which comes up with links to B&Q.  So far I've done Bach and Angola, Berlioz and Bolivia (looks stunning), Copland and Croatia (1000 islands!), Debussy (nice) and Dominica (fab parrot flag). Today was Elgar and El Salvador. Elgar, I didn't realise, lived near Worcester, went to Birmingham a lot, and ended up in the Malverns. All those times I was there, didn't even know. Suppose it doesn't matter.  El Salvador doesn't sound like a good place to visit just yet: high number of volcanoes, earthquakes and high murder rate.  It is interesting and I think it is high time I broadened my education.

That is it; no other news. I need to update the blog with our latest trip into Somerset, which was one of the weirder trips we have been on, but perseverance and determination finally paid off when we encountered a truly delightful wonky font, which has rapidly become one of my favourites (partly from the sheer relief of finding it after several false starts).
