I’ve done really well for good eating over the last couple of days – on Tuesday, Alec cooked me an utterly delicious piece of trout, while yesterday Laura hosted an Easter dinner of roast chicken, beef and vegetables that was, simply, one of the most gorgeous meals I’ve had in a long time. The chicken and potatoes were especially sublime, bursting as they were with herbs and garlic. The meal was followed by various party games and general merriment. Tanya harangued us all into playing spin the bottle at one point – not being a great fan of kissing, I opted for the groping version of the game instead, which was rather jolly. The lateness of last night didn’t really mix well with the busyness of today, however! In the morning, I had a doctor’s appointment, as I’m still passing considerably more blood than I feel is ideal. He could only give me more steroids, and some ferrous sulphate for the resultant anaemia – which means that if I don’t see significant improvement over the next week, I’ll have to be referred back to the hospital specialists. Pah. In the afternoon, meanwhile, I had an open application day courtesy of Cov City Council. Basically, you go in, get asked a few banal questions, and, if they like your answers, you get invited back for a series of aptitude tests. If those go well, you then get offered a job that the Council think you’re suited for, rather than having to apply for a specific job yourself – potentially, at least, a very handy package. Mind you, the Council didn’t bother sending any of their own staff to interview any of the fifteen candidates that were there today, so I ended up chatting to my own Remploy advisor – not sure what that says about the whole process, really. After that, and a couple of errands in town, I headed back to Laura’s, to pick up the bags I’d left there last night. We had a pretty decent natter – largely, now I think about it, swapping notes on the various LARPS-related men we’ve seen naked. We’re not shallow, honest!
