I sent an email to my bank last October asking 4 specific questions. No-one replied. Last week I completed a survey about whether it is important that the bank addresses green issues. It also included questions about my relationship with the bank so I told them. The survey was anonymous so I was only really getting frustration off my chest. Yesterday I received a telephone message from the manager of my branch, then an e mail apologising for not getting back to me sooner and answering all my questions. Coincidence? I think not.
I played tennis this morning, and won. There is life in the old girl yet.
I have been sorting out boxes of articles of mine that have been published in newspapers and magazines. I had forgotten how much there was. It was all pretty serious stuff, dealing with issues ranging from organic farming, cancer, job sharing and even netball. Mixed in with it were poems that I had forgotten I had written. Some appeared in books of poetry but one was published in a newspaper with a little blurb. It said that as a serious journalist I found it difficult to write poetry and was surprised that anyone wanted to put it in print, especially as my son had declared it to be 'rubbish'. It is always nice to have the support of your children.
