Easter weekend and the first signs of spring is to be seen out in the garden. Yes I noticed the other day that the leaves on my apple tree, only one though, have started opening. I got a lift from seeing it. Winter always makes me feel down which makes the sight of the changing season heart lifting. I've been out tidying what I can as well as preparing the tubs and sacks for planting. Basically some light weeding, loosening up the soil and adding some fertiliser to give the young plants a start when they are planted. I can't afford to fix the side fence this year. It needs a new panel and post as the winter storms snapped the post. When I get another job I will save to sort that out but will have to leave it for now.
The job search continues slowly. I applied for ILA funding for training as I thought that it could only help open up my options. It I was to get onto the security course to get the card that would be good. So I am now waiting to hear back though I don't see any problems stopping me from receiving funding as I've never had it before. I always seemed to get a job before I got the funding in the past.
Still playing Elite Dangerous in the evenings. I've been out exploring the galaxy since the 17th March and this week met up with a fellow player CMDR Omega Prime. We met halfway between the Soul and Heart nebula's. We just sat for over an hour talking before we had to go our own way. He was from Germany and I really enjoyed the experience. So much so that the day after seemed a little under whelming. I'm glad to say that feeling hasn't lasted and I am now back into full explorers mode. It is a more peaceful way to enjoy the game than the other professions. And I am a little nosey as well.
