Time marches on!!

God how time flies.
There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day or days in the week right now. Earlier in the year i though i would start blogging again, and all of a sudden three months are gone and i still haven't. So, concerted effort from now on, at least two posts a week.

No particular subject, but whatever takes my fancy. Gives me plenty of scope.

It doesnt seem like nearly a year since I failed my ADI part 3 exam and had to stop teaching people to drive. I was lucky though, in that i found a good company to work for back in the taxi business, and even though i travel to London again, and the commute takes two hours each way on top of my day, its a reasonable job and they seem to like me. It will be a year with them on 15th September.

I still have this thing in my head about teaching, and have recently done my CRB disclosure (seems anyone who works in any kind of public post these days needs a crimninal records bureau check). I have 6 months from the date of the check to restart the ADI process to becoming a qualified instructor again; yes, the stupid thing is that you have to do the whole lot again!

So I will do it and I hope to try and build it around my work as a part time thing to start, which might give a supplementary income.

There is lots to do before that comes to fruition but hopefully, by the end of the year... who knows.
