We got up and went out to West Bridgeford. We headed for coffee at 200° on the edge of the park. It was busy as always and we struggled for a seat, but that speaks volumes on how good it is. Kev loves the coffee, I love their hot chocolate. We both ordered cinnamon buns, I had a little of mine, but I can't manage much these days of anything sweet. So lucky for me Kev has a sweet tooth and helps me out by finishing what I can't manage. But it's nice to have a treat when you are on holiday from work. Not quite Coffee and Beignets in Port Orleans Florida, but it's enough until we go hopefully next year.
We got the food shop including some blood oranges from M&S before coming home. Nice to do things at our own pace, have quality time at home with Willow, without constantly thinking about having to plan for work this weekend.
We had a note pushed through the door when we were home telling us that Rhiannon the Supervisor over at the centre is leaving, she already told Kev yesterday that she's moving to head office, so it's no shock. We thought something was on the cards as they are bringing out a new system that is a digital tablet type affair that you can log repairs, request help and raise issues with Metropolitan if you need to. Thus making having someone in the office over at the centre obsolete. I bet she won't be replaced, they'll just have the woman that runs Spring Meadow do both centres, until the digital system makes her obsolete too.
Not so daunting for us, as Kev and I are fairly tech savvy, but some of the older residents will struggle. I can't count how many Supervisors we've had in the 8 years we have been here. At least 5. Some only lasting about six months. Mind you, can you blame them with some of this lot. Kev and I rarely if ever need to bother them, even when I was in the wheelchair/bedbound we coped. We are lucky I know we have each other and are fairly capable of looking out for each other, others here aren't. It will be an interesting time I think.
