Been really busy with the cafe so haven’t been online much recently. I’ve been trying to ‘be there’ for the Boyf. but it is difficult working two jobs as I’m still doing the teaching too. I’ve been offered promotion at the school, they want me to be their course director and if i take it I’ll have three jobs then!!! I already work six and a half days a week but i’m actually considering it as the money will be useful. I made a shock discovery a couple of weeks ago concerning the cafe. It seems that someone has put a development plan for the entire buislding in at the council (City Hall?) if it is accepted the landlord is going to sell the building and kick us all out! This is five months or so after i invested about £10,000 in the business. Obviously to say I’m annoyed is an understatement and I am trying to find out what I can do about it but it seems I have very little protection in law. We are working hard to mobilise people to protest about the plan and I am hoping that that might be enough to get the plan turned down. It’s funny, I was thinking of selling up just two days before I heard that this plan existed. If I’d sold it earlier I could have gotten my money out and gone elsewhere. For now I’ll have to sit tight and see what happens. I should be more stressed out about all this than I am but the doc put me on Propranalol (or something like that) it apparantly stops you getting anxious – or at least more anxious than is necessary! it does seem to working and it has the added bonus of helping to prevent me dropping down dead from heart attack or stroke. I really do need to give up smoking as I know that’s making it worse. Have you noticed that there are no paragraphs today – I’ve decided that they are over rated! I may do away with punctuation altogether soon! This from an English teacher!!
