Interviews, Dentist, Blessing the Bounds

Another manic week. I had two interviews: one in High Wycombe on Wednesday, the other in Great Missenden on Thursday. On Monday I asked the agent about the role in Hove - I'm not "out of the running" yet, but I see that they are advertising it again which can't be a good sign. On Friday I called the company who I went to see in Wokingham. The woman in the HR department said that I "should have had a letter" explaining why I didn't get the job. She said they had appointed someone with "more retail experience". She was going to find their copy of the letter and call me back. She didn't call me, so hence I conclude the letter was never sent. I thought at the time of the interview that the hiring manager may feel a bit threatened by me. I went through a few minutes hoping that he gets into trouble for not sending the rejection letter - and maybe for inventing spurious rejection reasons too. The interviewer in Great Missenden gave me some genuine feedback at the time, which is great. I have heard that a couple of other roles are back on too.

We went to the dentist on Wednesday morning, which seemed fine: no problems detected. I got home too late from High Wycombe to go to the Woolmer Forest Hisorical Society meeting on Wednesday evening. On Saturday I was supposed to be going to "Bless the Parish Bounds" with the mayor and other people from the Historical Society but we were in Petersfield. I was doing the weekly shop and Maria was getting her hair done. We knew it would be tight, but with Maria unable to do any bending or lifting it took longer than I planned to unload the car. I got to the rendezvous at 13:15 but they had already left (the start time was 13:00 for a 13:15 departure). So instead we sat in the garden, we watched the cats playing/fighting and we read. I fell asleep and nearly got sun-burned too.
