cafe next

Morning folks,
Decidedly gloomy here, very grey and moist. Had to drive in again as I have a customer coming to visit later. Told him to come in about lunchtime so we can go to the pub. Other than that the usual work avoidance.

May get to do my Judge Dredd act again today if they actually give me something to do. I'm starting to enjoy the extra time in bed though

Officing today, popped out briefly to look at trees yesterday but it rained sideways, the hound loved it at least. Debating whether to put my mic on mute and go for a dump whilst we have the 8:30 weekly conference call but it's a risky business...

Work meh, rain and stupid traffic the whole way bar the toll road

You are lucky mate. You are doing your jury service in work's time. I will be doing mine in my own time.

Bally, the only way to sort that is take Uncle Norman's advice to get on your bike and look for work

When are you judging the great unwashed?

23 October. Was due in June but had it deferred because of holiday.

Nice title SG but what would be more clever, is that the plagiarism is replaced by original thought. Now don't do it again.

Me mulling around me. I actually slept last night. Going down to the quacks at midday to give him the what for.

Laters.

SG, are you one of these freelance types or just senior enough to abuse your position?

(You do not have to say anything but anything you do say may be used in evidence against you when we call you a skiving git )

Just got back from boring stuff, so going to have some food, do some weights and take Das Hunt for a walk. Then domestic stuff.

Rock 'n' roll baby, rock 'n' roll.

well, rather senior, what counts is innovating, taking risks, delivering, blah blah blah, it could all go horribly wrong at any moment, but with the stress comes flexibility, so i make the most of it

Doing my annual day of school runs as Mini H3 is back at school today. Slipped a 70k ride in, albeit repetitive circles. Now mopping the floors as our cleaner appears to have vanished after her summer sojourn to Poland.

pinno

You have a cleaner?! Send her around to VN's. He needs a little help in that department and that will keep him sweet for bike jobs.

Oh and she'll need a skip.

sungod

a cleaner? mrs mop or cute?

hopkinb

She's worked for us for 9 years. Approx 30 yrs old. Trim. Very Slavic features if that's your thing. But she buggered off to Poland mid July as per usual. She's normally back around now, but is not answering messages.
Best thing we spend money on, seeing as we both work FT. House is spotless once a week at least. Well, it was. It looks like a bombsite now.

I blame Brexit.

But if she does come back, we need pics after the au pair disappointment.

hopkinb

She cleans on a Tuesday from 11 til 3. I see her maybe twice a year. Pics are v unlikely unless I set a camera trap. Like you say, she might not come back because of Brexit.

Matthewfalle

Cleaners rock - best £40 a week I spend.

Even if it means selling a child I'd never give up the cleaner although she is fugly.

You're just saying that.

veronese68

We already have a cleaner, unfortunately she just cleans the cr@p and doesn't sort it out. But at least we have clean cr@p. An untidy house doesn't bother me in the slightest, it's lived in and homely.

Matthewfalle

Soloist is dead. Let us spare a moments thought to her and the good times we had.

Right, done that. Long live the Madone 5.5SL. Total cost so far: £6 for a mint 5.5SL. Rocking it.

I'll give you £30 for it. That's FIVE times what you paid.
