It's been a very difficult week at work - especially yesterday. We had put the workers at our canning plant on to a 3 day week last month and said we would review the situation about now. Well, we've now done that - Michael has just returned from his round the world tour of major customers and it was gloom and doom all the way. Not only is everybody cutting back, but we're also losing orders to Polish competitors and we're having difficulties in getting customers to agree to increase selling prices to compensate us for the increased price of fish that we've just bought for the year ahead! Triple whammy!
We've now told the workforce in IFC that the 3 day week will have to continue for a while and, in addition, 60 jobs will now have to go. It's been a few years since we've had to do this, and it's never easy - I just hope we can get through this year OK.
It was another lovely evening for the drive home from Fraserburgh last night and this helped to take my mind off things a bit - that and my music (last Saturday's Sounds of the Sixties). I phoned Jo to tell her I would need a large G & T when I got home!
Talking about "SotS", I've tried for 3 years in a row now to get a request in for Colin's birthday - I know he and Johanne listen to it every Saturday - but failed each time. Maybe it was my request that Brian Matthews should play the rather slow and lengthy Dylan song "Visions of Johanna" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i6NOfD48Gk) from the Blonde on Blonde album?
Anyway, Kelly and Craig are now on their way to Tenerife and the Lesinas have started their long journey over here - looking forward to seeing them all in the morning. First of all, Jo and I are going to the Milton for dinner tonight for her birthday - I bought her a new camera, but, typically, she was trying to use it upside down and then couldn't switch it on this morning! Mind you, it was early!
This was last year's flowers - did I do any better this year? Perhaps Jo will let us know?
