A peek inside

When I was photographing the torched van yesterday, I noticed that some of the boarding had gone from the windows of one of the derelict buildings - so naturally I had to go back for a closer look. 

Elder Son, R, acted on Saturday's decision and resigned from his job yesterday, in spite of not having another job to go to. Why? Well, you know that thing called a tether? R reached the end of his last week.

It wasn't an easy decision - he'd been there 7 years. But it was a job with no prospects for him, and rubbish hours that made any kind of a social life impossible, so time to call it a day. R got the impression that his manager was none too pleased, but perhaps that's because he's going to struggle to find someone who will work 5 evenings a week including every single Friday and Saturday evening ...

I'm currently trying to persuade R that somewhen in the next couple of months, while he's between jobs, would be a great time to carry out his plans to visit China.
