Another Day, Another Dollar

So, what to tell you?

As usual, there's a lot but one significant thing is that I start a new job on Monday.  And Paul started a new regular job earlier in the week too!  However, he also has three different ‘gigs’ tomorrow with different contractors as well.  It’s a case of “all or nothing” isn’t it? 

My new role is as PA / EA to the MD at J Rigg Construction.  It is a part-time role (afternoons) and it is based just this side of Broadway, so only about 8 miles away.  For those friends who are overseas - Broadway is a very pretty “go to”  Cotswolds village, full of chocolate-box Cotswold stone cottages with thatched roofs and roses around the door! 

Riggs Construction do fabulous projects - for example, one estate started off with a £3 million budget but over the next six years it became £7m...! GULP!  At the moment, apparently, the trendy place-to-be is the area surrounding Chipping Norton (Oxfordshire) where the uber life-style venue [i.e. pretentious] is SoHo Farmhouse (“Surrounded by 100 acres of Oxfordshire countryside, Soho Farmhouse is a rural escape offering food and drinks, wellness experiences and outdoor activities”.).  Also, Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm and Farm Shop are at Chadlington – this is the “Clarkson’s Farm” as aired on Amazon Prime.  Also, the Beckhams’ estate is at the village of Great Tew, and that’s in the same pocket of the Cotswolds. 

Anyway, Riggs Construction have a number of rural estates or country houses that they are renovating, or building, or conserving for members of the great and the good … but I am sure there will an expectation of confidentiality from anyone linked to the various projects.  However, it should be interesting.
​
I still have my Sports Hall job too and, as you know, that is self-employed and predominantly when-I-want-to-do-it, so that's good.  Therefore, I am still a part-time employee in the general sense but, in all honesty, this is just what I need at the moment whilst adjusting to the eye trauma and everything else that has been going on for the past couple of years.  I start the new role on 11th November… wish me luck!
