Notes:-Shustoke reservoir With Tom, Harry and Mark. Had a call first thing with Sarah Thomas about my move to digital and delivery. Really encouraging call and more reassurance there is a place for me in the team. Still reeling from the request to postpone all NHP award trust meetings, got very upset about this plus everything else yesterday. Feels like I cant fix anything… was off for the rest of the day and headed up to Stafford to meet Mark at the agreed motorway services. Didnt quite go to plan due to the motorway being closed at J15 due to a fatal crash. Lucky I was able to track mark on my phone and saw he had stopped north of stoke at a services. Tried to call him but he was struggling to answer the mobile. He then called me from a services shop phone. Met up and then spent 3 hours picking our way back to the motorway before getting home. Massive surprise for Tom who was so happy when he got home. Did his presents and had a few drinks plus a chippy. Picked up Bella this morning from mobile classics and customs at furnace end. Drove it back with Mark who had never been I for a drive in her yet. Did this walk around Shustoke and then had a pint at the Griffin. Lovely spring day. Then had a meal at Simla in the evening. Got back and had a few drinks at home. Mark mentioned that Fran was suspended from work and was about to go on half pay. This May link to the conversation Sis had with me a few weeks ago about Fran moving back into 41. Fran needs to seek support from her housing association not end her tenancy or say she can live with family. If she is suspended based on health grounds then she should have a case for support. If she is going onto half pay then she must have been off work for 6 months already. Living with Mark is not an option especially if she has no income - mark has told us that he doesnt want this given past issues - it will be stressful and his own words financially ruin him. Knowing this means I can try and prevent any plans to move her back in.
