  • Afternoon here, WFH. Been an entertaining view all day out the window - new Most Weather Changes In 8 Hours record today I think. Wind. Sun. No Wind. Belting Rain. Sun. All the above at once. Change every 5 minutes.

    Work is drudgery, crunching huge piles of numbers, trying to find patterns... so have second computer on the go browsing for camera gear on line mainly...

    Morning

    Pretty soggy here this morning, went running because I have another jolly later on but hopefully a bike ride later if it dries up like the forecast predicts.

    Morning, mild an not raining for a change. Suspect that'll change.

    Onward to coffee and procrastination!

    ciao

    1 1/2 hours for a 20 minute commute which was nice.

    just gone to the gym, protein shake & shower to come then slacking as much as possible.

    Falls to knees, raises head and hands to the sky, and asks "what is it all for, what's the point?".

    Typical bl00dy Monday, too much to do, not enough time in which to do it.

    Nice tailwind assisted blast in mind you, which was fun.

    How taf does that happen over by there? Has Gwynddaf ap Daffydd been digging for treasure by moonlight again? Then forgetting to fill in the hole? Sheep on the road?

    I stand corrected, its now hoofing it down again, an I neglected to bring a coat.
  • Morning all
    Blustery day out there, hoping the rain will pass so I can get in a walk at midday. Just me in the office today which is nice for an anti-social git like me.
    Onwards to pork pies and slacking.
    Cheers.

    Far less interesting than that. Trying to prove that there are people doing a huge pile of stuff which adds up to almost precisely zero added value.

    The heddlu closed the main road for some unknown reason. Araf everywhere leading to massssssive rush hour traffic jam as everyone tries to get to one place at once.

    what can you do though? at lest the bambini behaved themselves with only minor bickering.

    Clear and sunny today. Bit chilly but cannot complain. Eye clinic was running late so I had to cancel due to other appts.

    Onwards and... sideways.

    Bit tired this morning but a decent if rather grey ride in was had. Office refit has started so we're all feeling a bit cramped for a few weeks while sections of the office are off limits. Ho hum.

    In other news, Stropteen's university research steps up a gear as Mrs. 666 decides that she needs to know everything about every UK college that does veterinary courses and stick it on a spreadsheet. Unfortunately she's trying to delegate a lot of that to me. Still, we might get a few trips to some nice towns and cities out of it - and possibly Liverpool as well.

    Evening folks,
    Busy day at work again, but it helps time pass.
    Enjoy the university visits Stevo, you need a big fast wagon to get round them. Female child doesn’t have a scooby what she wants to do, complete opposite of the lad.
    Might have a beer tonight.
