Random Irritations

16th hole today I feel a nip on my arm. I look and it's a small insect bite, no insect in sight. The area where the bite happened is now red / bruised, around 3-4" across.

Now that is an irritation.

Old wife’s remedy; warm a spoon, not too hot, and place it on the bite. Allegedly, it kills whatever causes the itch etc. I’ve done it, sceptically, on mossie bites… seems to work.
 
Had a nice early morning stroll through Greenwich park. Got a coffee and sat in the park to see couple walking their dog and letting it crap and completely ignored it as they walked past
 
One of my team who we recruited 6 months ago has just handed his notice in. :mad: He's a good lad who we've been working to develop, but now we have to start the recruitment process all over again which is a laborious process. It'll be at least 3 months before we get someone in, and then we have to start the same training process all over again which is long and involved.
Offer him more money. I find, when speaking to people, that this usually works. Unless he really hates the job.

my experience is the opposite. have had a few folk leave for a higher salary elsewhere. we pushed the boat out to match it, only for them to leave within a few months anyway.

I trust you pointed it out to them.
I have 2 greyhounds and try to leave no crap behind and if you don't tell them instead of us nothing will change!
 
Currently 37*, feels like 42*. Humidity is very high. Little sign of blue sky as the moisture lifted off the sea is quite bad this year.

Edit, Spaińs record temp is broken today.
