Morning clunge sniffers.

The sun is shinning and my boss is away today so life is good.

The cherry on top will be if we get Sean the prodigal son making an appearance again today and shirking like the good old days :wink:

Anyway onwards to work and caffeine.

    It's a very sunny Thursday here in Cornwall, temps are about to near the 20's, there's barely a breath of wind and the kid is in nursery for a full day.

    Lovely and sunny here, amazing how the sun can even make Feltham look nice. Actually that's a complete lie, it's still a shithole. Going to meet the EPO for lunch in Twickenham later, probably sit by the river in the sunshine.

    Is this another MAMIL thread 'cos if it isn't...

    Very early start this morning. Late night last night having a fight with Ivy - felt like I was in a scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
    It is a beautiful day here except I need a Siesta to recharge the batteries.

    35km ride* at 6am under the belt, just munching my way through some morning fruit then off to do a site survey after lunch.

    The new milk frothing machine is overheating the milk and scalding the coffee :(

    Good batch of croissants this morning though :)

    Better do some work now :cry:

    Certainly is sunny here in Central London - I reckon it must be 'skin Thursday' when the temp rises above the threshold necessary to give you an eyeful :) Time to start wearing shades when leaving the office so I can get away with 'observing' more....

    I'd leave it a couple of weeks so the skin is less pastey pale but then again I suppose the days of fake tanning have helped there.

    The cloud here's got a bit less battleship grey. And the permafrost is looking like thawing a bit just in time for the inevitable weekend deluge. Curse you, Jetstream....

    Know what you mean, I'm in Central London too and have a 1st floor window seat opposite a junction, so I can "observe" with impunity :lol: I love it when the sun comes out and the layers come off 8)

    I commute through sunny Drumchapel, and I can tell you I dread when the temperature goes up... the sun comes out and the layers come off. Ugh....

    Come down to Stranraer, it's actually sunny here. We could share a barell of 80shilling and a cask of whisky. Bring flour, eggs, water, oil and some Mars bars.

    So, are London's fair maids all solar powered?

    And where do they go in the winter?

    I had this problem with the SA short which they conveniently lost and I began to wonder why I hadn't got the return late January.
    After much toing and froing, I sought advice from Alex Ferguson MSP who said to write a letter saying that after consulting my MP who informed me that your department is in total dissarray and I am not prepared to pay a fine for your incompetence.

    It worked and I now always always send anything to the IR by recorded delivery.

    I think they just cover themselves up in Winter. Not to worry, now we've celebrated 'Tit Thursday' we've got a few months of rubbernecking and letching to look forward to :twisted:
