Unplanned off-roading 
Right hand bend. Bit of gravel. Steer into it. Easy. Oops. Bit too much. Steer right. Good. No, left. Left. LEFT!

The car ignored me, and I ended up parked neatly on a grassy bank. Fortunately the wheels were pointing left, otherwise I would have ended up on the downhill cross country. The car still worked, but one wheel was off the ground, so I had to flag down a couple of people who pushed it back onto the road, and then advised me to buy a Lotto ticket. I didn't buy a ticket, but I did continue rather carefully. Once at work, I confidently slammed my phone in the car door.

Well, the car is fine, but squeaks a little at low speed, so I might have knocked something slightly. The mobile works, but the display is broken. I've dug out our old phone, and transferred the number onto that one. Plus I've sorted out a tax number for Sarah so that her savings are on the right tax rate. This required two passports, a driving licence and a birth certificate. I also attempted to sort out Bronwyn's savings, and attempted to find someone qualified to sign it, but none of them work on Saturdays. Not even the local police!

Bronwyn has got her CV ready, and has a list of places to send it to. She's been struggling with depression lately, which is understandable considering all that's happened. She's booked in next weekend for a short break at a respite home.

Meanwhile, the brass band is getting into the silly season. We've had a number of extra requests for playouts. With three different bands (junior, senior and vintage) it's easier to accommodate them, but it's still going to be busy.

Meanwhile, I've accepted the post of funding officer for the youth worker project at the local secondary school. So I'll be going to the trustee meeting tomorrow (instead of band), and there'll be a training day in a week or so.

Meanwhile, at work we're installing an open source version of our software in three different schools around the country. The government has paid us to create a free version, and also to install it as a trial. So I thought I'd test things out on Friday to make sure it worked. Good idea. There were lots of bugs due to last minute changes, and there are probably plenty more lurking in there. I might end up accompanying our support person nest week as he tries to get things working.

Three new volunteers (plus Rachael) to do the computer at church. I trained up one today, who did really well. Another next week. Plus one for the sound desk. It was busy this morning!
