I may not have worked directly with that particular colleague for four years now, but we can still pretty instinctively work together as a team to solve practical problems. Even the fence panel we thought originally wouldn't fit into the concrete posts was coaxed into place eventually. The other one fitted in beautifully.

Always at an awkward age. Interpreter of life to those who find it strange. Rare and unusual. Food sums /graphs essential. Walks more than most.
Humph. Distinct lack of people at church this morning who might've been persuaded to come and help me replace fence panels after church today.
There were people at church... just not the ones I can sidle up to and ask if they could help me.
Ah well, colleagues with muscles who can be relied on to help with occasional tasks even I can't do alone will be called on instead!
I appear to have worn myself out after the bus strikes and printer problems back in March.
Either that or I'd been speaking my mind too openly, and getting myself Into Bother which has an effect of silencing me.
Yes, let's go for that one. I was avoiding Bother. But Bother is really ever present in my life so time to emerge from my self-imposed silence and nudge Bother back into its Proper Place.
I can vouch for the fact that a smaller version, that my workplace used to be involved in, used to cause a fair few meltdowns amongst my students. They loved doing them, and often found the days helpful both from getting ideas for themselves and presenting at workshops, but we could rarely get anyone to do more than 1!
@AMinorMuddle mine is doing weird things as well. Much sympathy.
@rosamundi Exactly. I have lost track of how many times I have muttered about the lack of choice and what choice there is being to the tastes of the very young...
@rosamundi Ooo... that I like!
After walking the three miles both to and from work during the local bus strikes this week with my relatively heavy work bag I had not planned to carry much in my backpack today, beyond picking up some replacement hypo snacks, as I wandered around. My preferred fend-off hypos snack was on special offer... So, work bag weight for another three miles again! That's 40 miles worth of commuting miles/errands miles with the work weight backpack!
@considermycatjohn There used to be a really good one answering that description on the edge of the city centre here which I went to relatively regularly which didn't survive the lockdowns.
Let us rejoice and be glad for whatever was causing my bookfold documents to print incorrectly I have somehow manage to solve. Here's hoping it remains solved as I have no idea which setting in which place I tweaked to find the solution.
