    Sunday
    Morning Losers!

    Fantastic Saturday was had walking around the Lancashire countryside with a lass and her dog. The pub food after was fantastic as well, it's all about starting at a pub and finishing there.

    Today it's my friends baby's Christening. I'm not entirely sure where the shindig is afterwards, and left the invite in da Hudd, so I'll have to try and sneakily ask someone.

    Laters!

    Afternoon Mongs,

    Had one cider too many last night watching the footy up in town. This meant me running around getting ready for the in-laws descending on us for lunch this afternoon was not very quick. Still, mahoosive lamb joint is in the oven and starting to smell nice :) Time for another coffee I reckon...

    Afternoon ladies,
    After a disastrous trip to the woods trying to chill out and watch the world cup. Not easy with while looking after two kids but gave the youngest a big box of lego and the oldest is asleep on my knee. Managed to see most of it. Later I will be attempting more laziness.

    Morning all,
    Struggling a bit this morning. Street party yesterday was good, if a touch damp at times. Drank beer all day and ate enough cake to sink a battleship. Then went to the pub for more beer. Definitely a touch below par at the moment. Party was good though, one neighbour said he could hear the band from Richmond Park, the mayor opened the party and hung around for a few drinks and I was a judge in the cake competition. Today will be a struggle.

    Morning,

    Full on Meh feeling today, creepy minion is wittering on about football and his TV today, im debating what item on my desk to obstruct his airways with. Currently its the jar of coffee on my desk.

    Mobile went belly up at the weekend, add insult to injury the backups I had seem to be corrupt so back to square one (yay) so waiting for DPD to call up and arrange collection, mean time im using an old phone.
    Batteries shot I charged it three times yesterday while barely using it an when I did it took 30s to respond to the screen unlock. This week is going to be long.

    strange image to ponder

    Evening Gits,

    Good pedal today, rounded off with a good home made curry. Pity about the work in between but Thursday is a half day and Friday is BPW day 8)

    Morning Losers!

    I need more than 6 hours sleep, however I hate going to bed before 11. Hmmm

    Today I just need to get through it. I've been told by my minion (the good one) that he'll be leaving this summer. He doesn't know exactly when, but has given me a definite last day date. Problem is, it is terrible timing with our schedule, but there's nowt I can do to make that any better. Ah well.

    An evening of tidying and then relaxing is in order me thinks.

    Laters!

    Monging all,
    Hope all is well in the land of crud. Still feeling rather jaded myself. Kept awake by foxes last night, unfortunately the urban mangey kind and not a bevvy of lovely ladies. Not much going on today so I just have to try and stay awake. Managed to pedal in this morning, unfortunately rain is forecast for this evening. More tea is needed.

    Land of crud sums up today, rubbish sleep owing to some kind of reaction to the pizza I ate, lips swelled up an throat went tight no idea what did that.
    Came into work today feeling rather ropey an creepy minion is really doing my head in being super loud and annoying. Like telling people to wait for a minute before turning their new laptops back on so the disk can spin down, despite us telling him daily they are all SSDs. He's that loud he gets through my headphones so I'm looking up if murder can be classed as a public service. Also hes looking at semi naked women again, full screen...

    Afternoon,
    Today has been very slow but generally ok. Lunch was a bit minging though, some salmon wrap with spicy rice and sweetcorn bolloks. Apple crumble and custard for desssert partly made up for it but I could still tace the spicy rice so that was ruined.

    Apparently the difference between a dog and a fox is about 6 pints.

    Slightly stressful day caused by a €20m VAT adjustment created by an almighty fark up by the accountants. Minions have been beavering away quite hard on that one. Now watching Iceland hokd off Portugal whike pretending to catch up with work.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    I think I'm sleeping badly or having bad dreams or something, as I've been waking up ridiculously tired each morning this week. Not helped by learning the motorbike training session I'm going on this weekend means I'll have to leave the house at 6:30 am! Not impressed.

    Today is just more of the same thing, followed by some exercising and doing fark all else. I've downloaded Abe's Oddysee to my PS4. Loved it whilst at uni, loving it again!

    Out at branches with work means an early leave and late return

    Later will be watching the football, last nights was so good the kids ended up staying up to watch it along with the wife!

    Meh, and double meh. Back is aching so I'm grumpy, more so than usual. Got to bunk off about 1ish and go to a meeting at the girl's school about possibilities for next year. Later should be pub but I have to go to the scouts' AGM first, deep joy. I'm standing down as treasurer so it's my last one at least. I'll need a drink by the time that's done.

    Rudely awoken by over the road deciding 7AM is a reasonable time to mow the lawn. Poor nights sleep again so a lovely headache today.
    Creepy minions topic of the day is the Chrome Bezel around his TV he doesn't like it so has to tell everyone that goes in earshot about it.
    Plus note I'm being taken out for a relaxed dinner tonight apparently but before my highlight of the day is going to be sorting out a business plan.

    Just having a 10 min break on here in between updating all of the sales training modules as I have 15 new sales execs to train for 5 full days week after next. Im going to be giving them loads of tasks and then listening to their personal critique and feedback on said tasks.

    I've only updated one module all day and have 10 more to do by Wednesday. *barf.

    Afternoon,

    Been awake since about 2:30am so feeling a bit done in now. Still got to ride home in the drizzle as well yet.

    Step - I'll swap you your creepy minion for mine. When speaking to other site I tell them we've got the apprentice in and the conversation goes along the lines of:
    Which apprentice?
    Ah, forgot his name.
    What's he look like?
    Like he should still be in school. You know the one man, the serial killer.
    Oh yeah, him. Unlucky.

    There's something very creep about the way he leaves the room, closing the door gently while staring back in at us.

    Anyway, today has been spent avoiding awkward conversation with said minion and not a lot else. Fortunately the tea lady is back from a weekend in Spain and rarely shuts up.

    Evening tw@s

    Apparently i'm living in the second sunniest region of France! Why then, does it rain as much, if not more than the miserable UK! If it wasn't for the fact that i've been cluelessly waving a chainsaw at big oak beams while laughing like a deranged moron today i'd be on the frikkin boat back to make your clowns lives a misery!

    Anyhoo, foods has been had and a bottle of red is helping me watch this excuse for football.
