Aye, the warm weather (what we got of it) has gone, to be replaced by Arctic temperatures, falling leaves, and more rain, which of course means more heating on. That's the way it goes of course.
As I mentioned last month, I've had to start a "Work Programme", which I've been referred to by the jobcentre - basically, a local training place is going to help me look for work, I have to attend a short session with them every fortnight where they go over what I've been doing to look for work, they give me advice and if there's any jobs suitable they'll put me forward for it. Unlike the jobcentre though, they don't pressure you, which is a lot better. And there's no having to sit around in a classroom for 6 hours a day like in the past.
There's been a word that has kept popping up this last month - and that word is leaks. Aye, there was not one, but three different leaks in me and my brother's flat - first, our toilet, it wouldn't stop flushing because the stopcock was busted; second, the washer pipe under the sink which soaked everything that was kept under there; and last, rainwater dripping from a nasty damp patch in our kitchen, and that was thanks to the two days of constant heavy rain in the last week of this month. The first two leaks got sorted out, the third has stopped, but we really need to get that damp patch fixed up.
Only other thing to note is that I've pre-ordered the new Biffy Clyro album - as some of you probably know, I'm a huge Biffy fan, and I'm looking forward to the new album. With the way music is these days it's good to know there is still some music out there still worth listening to.
Actually, I told a lie...there is one other big thing I'd like to tell you - but I'm not going to say anything - yet.
I'll leave you with some artwork, as always:
My two dragon characters, Fyfe & Sparkplug.
