The last day of the School holidays, and to a certain extent, back to work. I feel for the girls today, as the holiday has passed so quickly. I managed to get a little done today, but the workflow was interrupted somewhat with some news I received. Over the last few days, I cannot recall exactly when, I received a letter from a Catalogue company that I have an account with, asking me to call them. It transpired that someone had managed to gain access to my account, and tried to order over £6000 worth of items in my name, and get them sent to various addresses in London. In effect, I had been subjected to identity theft. Having looked into it further, the people at the company thought that they had got access via my online account, and as a result they have closed the account. The password I used on that account, was also used on many other online services, so I had to spend a happy time going and changing it on lots of other services. What a frustrating thing to happen. All credit to the company for picking up on it and dealing with it as they did, and I suppose the situation could have been a lot worse.
We made the decision not to take part in the next series of plays with our local group. I hope this hasn't upset anyone, but we both felt that we needed to focus on us and our respective business interests for a while, and the challenges they bring. Youngest has still gone for a part in one, which is fine, but we will now focus on our own projects for a couple of months, before the work starts on the play I am directing with them in Autumn, and the possible Summer School as well. I can see a lot of lists needing to be written.
In the evening I managed to find a stream of the Spurs match, which was a tense affair, but ended with a 1-0 victory. I then continued with my book. I am finding it really entertaining and fascinating, so was surprised to read one or two scathing reviews. I wonder if they were borne out of jealousy or a genuine dislike? I know it is all subjective, but I cannot find anything within its pages to illicit such a reaction. I will be finishing it tomorrow I think, and then I have to move on to my next choice, which will not be easy.
