Day 1251

Turned my hand to Access Basic, made some progress with a properly validated genealogical database but raised a lot of new difficulties.

I went to the corner shop for baccy and the bloke asked me if I'd finished university yet! I omitted mention of the past four years and told him I would soon be starting again, on a postgraduate course. I was wrong about people round here looking down on me for being out of work, if he, whose shop I've been in practically every weekday for the last 4 years, didn't know, then who does?

Played another solo game of Paydirt. Sent off the Effolk cheque, also a Softback Preview offer in the morning.
