Fuel

As fuel to the Gorse Fox's Grumpy Old Git fire, the first appointment of the morning failed to turn up. Not s good start. When GF called to chase it was clear that the guy had no record of the appointment - so much for Office 365 and its cloud functions! We re-arranged and, to be fair, he turned up on time and was most helpful. The question we now have to address is whether we really want shutters, or not. We need to think on this - it would be a costly decision to get wrong!

Drawings have come through for the proposed Orangery - perhaps unsurprisingly, they look very similar to the drawings GF provided them. Looks ok, but we do need to see what the pricing would be.

New car has been delivered. GF was very sorry to see the Passat CC go, but it doesn't make sense to hang on to it. New car looks very smart so the Gorse Fox will spend the afternoon reading the manual while the Silver Vixen goes back to Fontwell to help with the first of the after-school sewing clubs of the new school year.

GF has also been invited to go and have a chat with some ex-colleagues about setting up an independent consulting practice. He will probably go along for the initial meeting, but isn't yet convinced he really wants to do any more "work", so doubts very much that he will get involved in anything other than an advisory capacity.
