The Tories are attempting to privatise public land/possibly sell off the forests again.

Yesterday I bought a bag of sweets containing just fizzy coke bottles, bubblegum coke bottles and cherry coke bottles. It's probably one of the best purchases I ever made.

Mum and dad basically couldn't be bothered to go to a pub-run bonfire tonight, and now it's so cold I agree with them. So my sister and nephews and possibly sister's partner are all coming down here to have burgers and watch fireworks in the garden. Also cake, for my dad's birthday. And then I have to wash my hair for my informal interview tomorrow. And think about what my informal interview might possibly involve. Hmm.

I literally have no idea what I am supposed to do to prepare for this interview tomorrow. I assume I'm only having it at all because I want to volunteer at a medical facility, so they can't just let anyone come and have access to patient information, they have to check people out a little first. In which case my main task is to not commit any crimes before tomorrow morning, and to just seem like a normal friendly person. But maybe it IS also going to kind of be an interview, and I might really screw myself by not being prepared. But maybe if I'm too prepared and intense they'll find it a little weird and not want to let me come. It all sounded like a bit of a formality, but I'd rather be prepared-ish anyway. Also, when the woman called up to arrange the interview time, she said something about interviews being what they usually do 'when they have a couple of application forms come in', so I don't know if I'm in competition with other people for this thing.

I'm basically casting an eye over their website to see what they do and what services they offer, then review the notes I took for the Social Care course I took in 2010 that I mentioned on the application form in case they bring it up and 'umm....' isn't a good enough answer, and then I'm going to vaguely try to remember what else I put on the application form and what I could say about it if they ask. And then I'm going to watch Youtube videos. And hope I wake up in time to actually go to the interview tomorrow.

Speaking of Youtube videos, I don't even watch The Walking Dead, but this still somehow hilarious to me:
