It was 15C with an apparent (how cold it feels) temperature of 9C when I left for work this morning. It is February, it should be warm with summertime temperatures. Instead we have been plunged into a winter’s day. I had dig out my jumper (sweater) from the depths of the wardrobe. [...]

RPA just called me back and I now have an appointment for April 2nd. Nowhere near the waiting time I was expecting. I can’t tell you how much I don’t want to go to this appointment.
