    Afternoon fluffers,

    In other news i have a tip run in a minute and two huge water butts to plumb in to the downpipe off the barn roof, it's all go here.

    Toodles.

    Busy day mostly minion hunting. Managed a sneaky pint and now sitting on the train waiting for it to go while sweating like one of bg's ex pets.

    Got to go into a board meeting tomorrow so may have a fermented apple based drink tonight to mull things over.

    Met a bloke last week who is my opposite number in United Biscuits which is based over Hayes way. He told me the filmed some scenes in 'World War Z' there. Maybe because they didn't have to put any make up on the extras? :)


    Well that takes the biscuit!

    Morning Losers!

    I seem to be conducting my own sleep deprivation study at the moment. It sucks.

    Today I have more computers to build, more minions to avoid and a book to read. Then, when I get home, I have to do the washing up (as I run out of everything) and continue to build a book that I thought would be a good idea at the time as a present for someone, but now thinking "Why Mule? Why?"

    Laters!

    Good sleep, which means I've almost caught up for missing a night!

    Today is working from home as more builder to let in, thankfully the sparkie fixed the lights tripping out yesterday, so for the first time in a month we can use the garage door :)

    Later is the dirt bike with a pal

    Morning,
    More bad sleep = more CBA. This is why I need a car.

    Afternoon tarts and vicars,

    Been out with chums to the worlds best shop, it was shoot. Just had a nice glass of red that helped soothe the pain of shopping.
    Had a decent rain storm last night, first proper rain in nearly three months so I've got the grass growing to look forward to. This afternoon we are putting out the electric fencing as we have three Oxford Sandy and Black pigs arriving next week. This will mean more bacons than any of you clowns could ever dream of early next year.

    Toodles.

    This confused me until I looked at last night's posts and realised you quoted the wrong one.

    I'm struggling after not enough sleep having got back about 1.30am and getting up at 6.30. To combat this feeling of tiredness I'm going to ride a bicycle and drink a skinful of beer tonight.
  • For the first time in a long time I'm taking my MTB out of the garage, Llandegla tomorrow!

    Looking forward to it too.

    The BBC weather app is a lying piece of shit.

    Llandegla (where I was), torrential rain.

    Home (where I wasn't), hot and sunny :roll:

  • Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    Things are going well at the moment. I don't like it. The computers I'm building at work are nearly done, a few issues, but I keep finding solutions. I started building a book for a present for someone last night, and actually did most the work, I've been trying to cut down on the food intake to shift a bit of weight, and basically due to not having enough time to go shopping, I'm eating barely anything, and reaping the benefits.

    Laters!

    Happy anniversary bg and condolences to Mrs bg.
    Traditional Thursday hangover is in effect. Went over to Wimbledon Village on the bikes last night and drank in the pubs of my yoof. More than just the prices have changed, it's really posh over there. Can't imagine old bill raiding them for drugs nowadays, there weren't many junkies around.
    Half day today then taking the girl to physio.

    Morning

    No riding of bikes for ages and then a decent blast around the Wrekin last night followed by a commute into work - happy days

    Bg13 - you romantic old roll

    I know, just can't help myself, as an aside it is also the anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Lest we forget!

    Mostly minion hunting today. Made an offer on one job and then wasted an you of my life interviewing for another when I could have been down the pub. At least I got a couple of ciders in before headed home to deal with family stuff.

    Mmmmmm cider, haven't had any since Sunday!
  • Friday!

    Morning Losers!

    Woooo it's Friday! This week has gone pretty quickly in fairness. Maybe being busy at work has its uses...

    Today I need to finish off the computers, wrap a present or two and then head over to Bury, where I'm staying at my friends house.

    Lates!

    Morning down and outs,

    Been out to let the chickens out and now planning the days events over a cuppa.

    Am sure it'll be full of fun and frolicks!

    A touch moist out this morning, fortunately I had planned to drive in so I can slip out to pick the girl up later.
    It's cake Fryday today so cake and dead pig will feature in my day. Off to look at Bath university with the boy tomorrow, unfortunately that's an early start for a Saturday. Then it's his 18th next Saturday, this is making me feel old.
    Unfortunately the change in weather also signals another sad fact associated with the change in seasons. it gets quieter at work so they are letting some of the temps go, this includes the cute girl with the unfeasibly large thrups. This is very bad.
