    WFH, our team is now 8 instad of 10 :disappointed:

    Seems to still be a bit soggy here (and dark) so I'll defer the bike ride until later when the sun's out.

    Sun what kind of accusation is that??

    None here cold an grey, meetings galore today being first of the month so extra strong extra bitter coffee to give me the required level of sarcasm.
    Also, where did October sneak up from? Its only April.

    ...Semi retirement is very distinct possibility, let's see what happens. On other news heard from my sister over scans and biopsy,s etc. No immediate action but planned intervention just after Christmas. Prognosis looks good.

    two good things and it's not even 9 yet!

    Oxo - cracking news on two fronts

    Nice one Oxo, fewer annoying colleagues (I think you call them the Noddy squad!), and even better a good prognosis for your sister.

    Step seems to have turned Icelandic.

    Ran out of coffee beans (more arrive today thankfully), so had some brown swill made from a "coffee bag". Yuk.

    Today seems light on meetings, let's see if I can do some delegating and catch up on a few missed crosswords.

    Encouraging news on the Sis front Oxo. Although beware of retirement as sometimes you just get a new boss who doesn't pay you for doing crappy jobs. I know a few people who've come out of retirement to escape the trouble 'n' strife.

    In the office today, it was was a bit murky when I set off but nice enough pedalling weather. Coffee now, calories later.

    WFW, I really should take BJs advice and throw in the occasional bike day work from home day.
    Dryish but DIY threatens when I get home from work.
    In all my 23 years here at HD enterprises we've hardly used technology during meetings but I've bought some bits off the rainforest place and am going to turn our board room into something more useful: Somewhere I can watch youtube videos on a massive screen :)

    Good news, @oxoman . :smile:

    WFH again here. Would like to squeeze in a walk and possibly a turbo session.

    I'm about a quarter Icelandic, so I'm going with it, beats the Democratic Republic of Camden an less likely to cause offense.

    Brown instant swill coffee? Bleugh

    I an anti technology move I managed to source a watch strap from a local jewellers, turns out 22mm curve bar straps are not the most common things. Does mean I now have my automatic watch on again as opposed to my Garmin.

    Off to feed the log burner, its not very warm today, an its now raining.

    I was worried for you, for a minute.

    Jolly good, but what is a yellowbelly supposed to do today?
    I don't like the look of the flag that's been imposed on us BTW

    Evening folks,
    Wfw for most of the day, went in late after dealing with emails from home and making sure the EPO was comfortable. Physio appointment after work, I'm sure they enjoy inflicting pain. After all that couldn't be aris'd to cook anything so fish and chips seemed sensible.
    Should I change my avatar to an Italian flag? Round to Hoppy's for coffee tomorrow, I vaguely know which one is his house.
    Very pleased for you and your sis Oxo, great news.
    Happy L day LD.
