Weather to laugh or cry

The fostering service have, once a year to turn up on the doorstep without announcing their arrival. This usually happens when you are in the middle of something like rebuilding the AGA and there are bits everywhere

Of course form their point of view this could turn all complex also, they could chose to turn up on a day when we are off to some auction somewhere so all they get is a unanounced opertunity to bang on the door of a empty house. 

The last few years we have developed our inteligence system. So today we had been tipped the wink that our worker was on the lose with her mannager and likely to call in. I was a bit doubtfull as we are currently locked in combat with a district team of it's  total non management of issues around one of the young people here.

A manager would have a pretty warm reception and our worker does not like it when we ask why she is unable  to get anything done.

Sure enough the manager got here and seemed pretty bemused by some of the recent goings on. We got the impression that a lot of this was news to her. Making me wonder just how much of the stuff we tell our link worker gets through.

But of course that was not the only thing - it's nearly July and we have the heating on.

I hate to think what it would be like if we were still on oil.

The student though is not happy, despite the fire being in full on furnace mode, when she filled the bath it was full of water not steam, nothing less than scalding does for her.
