We asked Jo's company to provide us with a live-in carer for my mother. There was a drama about it- the chosen carer took ill and another had to be found at the last minute- which a cannier operator than Jo would have kept from us. Actually that's something I like about her: she has absolutely no professional gloss.
My mother says she'll missLittle Alexander's Multi-Billion Rouble Extravaganza on Ice the Sochi Olympics. I already did. Or at least I missed as much as I could without forswearing my mother's company for a fortnight. She's watching the closing ceremony now.
The Russian Federation's flag isn't a patch on the old Soviet Union's. Same goes for the anthem.
Little Alexander is all tight and shiny. He looks like a meaner version of GI Joe.

Hope the Atos interview goes well. The company's been responsible for so many appalling decisions, though I see they're planning on leaving their DWP contract (or are being sacked, depending on which reports you read).
