Wednesday, Stockholm syndrome

Off to Heathrow in the back of a cab. Early flight to Stockholm awaits me. No lounge bubbly for me.

Poor hobkinb

Cycling into a local branch to dump my bike for a service, it will be dirtier than Jordon by the time it gets there

Later is the first on many events for the eldest birthday, with dinner out with his grandma - going to be an expensive week

Hoppy, it's late November and you've managed to pick a trip to a place that's even colder and dingier than here Don't worry though, the when it comes to tax the Swedes are more of a pushover than a one legged girl. And don't walk into lamp posts when you're rubbernecking over there.

Into the office to deal with tax stuff and minions - unfortunately neither are Swedish.

Morning
Good pedal into the office today, I think the tailwind helped. I think my bike's arrived at the office cleaner than when it left home as the spray has washed some of the mud off.
Currently watching the guy outside seeing how many wheelie bins he can get on the tail lift of his van.

Morning All
I don't think I will ever form a bond with my captors at work. I might escape later, though.
Happy hump day, everyone.

Morning, currently contemplating chasing 4 legged member of family around the garden for a sample for the sodding vet.

Gaffer tape a plastic bag to his rear end?

...and then go on a pub crawl in Gamla Stan but don't fall in the sea. Although brackish, it's bit chilly at this time of year.

Ditto gopping here. Meh.

Laters.

Where's HaydenM?
Has a tree fallen on his head? Perhaps that'll teach him for shouting at them.

2 days of small people running around the house and several bottles of wine mean I'm not at my best today.

Hell yeah

I was thinking of bringing one of those 250ml bottles of red wine into work to have with it but as I have red wine induced fuzz as it is it might not be the best idea.

Morning (barely) damp here lots of rain overnight, WFW today thought I should make an effort so drove in been hacking my lungs up most of the morning so everyones giving me a wide berth which means its quiet.

Delivery turned up wit ha new cassette an bits so more toys for the weekend.

HD, you getting us all steak yeah?

How long do you give a webex before giving up?
So far I've had someone singing softly to me, toddlers reading to me, tapping of keyboards but the meeting I'm meant to be in still doesn't seem to have started.

Why not, I'm just tucking in now and it's a lot better than a salad

Oh and just for the legals on here, this in no way implies that I'm buying 28 steak dinners...

orraloon

Filthy conditions so stuck indoors again, without the benefit of steak or red wine so far, in 250ml size or larger. Admin stuff, house insurance renewed with same company for better deal that originally offered. Tick.

Right then, on to the rest of that day. Perhaps I'll go fishing again and see if bait gets nibbled by a super-sensitive soul.

Yay, minion has just accepted my counter offer and is very grateful. So can get back to putting jealous tw@ts back in their boxes

Dammit!

"Storm Diana" is in what can be classed as full effect I think down here, stiff breeze has blown all the water fowl to one side of the lake. No trampolines, wheelie bins or felled trees I'm aware of. Onwards to pub later me thinks.

Matthewfalle

just back from osteo - my body is officially fecked. its a bit worrying when even the osteo starts laughing at you and tells you perhaps its time for some surgery and a new job.

then again, after an hour of her doing her stuff i feel a brazilian times better.

now sitting in a car park before going back to work then onward to more work.

Its not a storm in Bucks for sure just a little windy, think its meant to be worst for wales an the north from what I gather.

homers_double

Its black here now, but that might just be because it's dark.
