    Morning Clumsy-footed quadrupeds

    Bit dull and a bit drizzly but as calm as you like before the impending windy stuff. Fits the cliché. Hope 'Loons puzzle holds up.

    Quiet one after yesterday's excitement.

    Laters.
    Be good.
    Stay upright.

    Dropped the Panzer off at the stealers for its service and MOT, just waiting for a train into town. Today is my Friday though.

    Pedal pedal pedal, every day, rain or shine. Might buy a new (used) car today if they’re prepared to haggle.

    Morning
    Wet and very dull here. Today will the last for the floor fitters hopefully. More exercises and dog walking if it dries up. Oh and I might watch some cycling.

    Aye, wind will ramp up a bit overnight so will be a test for The Puzzle. I have one louvre unglazed pending a bit of glazing bar adjustment so not 100% windtight, but that fettle is not for today, too drizzly, mucky, meh. Today will be mowstly fiddling about indoors, admin, clean up post stove fitting, wonder what to do with the washerload of wet towels etc. Take it easy old man.

    Not really, all relative I guess. Currently haggling. Got £200 off and free £100 delivery. Trying to get an extra £50 off, which they said they can’t do. Most people probably wouldn’t quibble about £50 but they’re not dealing with a normal sane person. I’ll give them an hour to sweat and if they don’t call back I’ll have to call with my tail between my legs.

    £50? Go big or go home :)

  • Afternoon class, been for a swim and got an ear full of water which is vibrating like an angry wasp.
    Stuff to do and lots of planning of trips as well as skis to wax.
    And some training to do in between...

    Afternoon folks,
    Another day of wfh, still feeling a bit grotty but tested negative at least. Going to stay wfh until next week i suspect. Currently in a Teams meeting for senior management, not sure why as I'm not management. How much time is wasted on these things? Oops, good job I had one ear open. They just mentioned something I had to stick my oar in on.
    Celebrated my negativity by venturing over to the new Lidl round the corner, I did wear a mask, somehow resisted buying a lathe.
    Meeting over now so I can get on with some work...

    Not sure what's worse, Covid or a snotty cold. Had one last summer and currently have the other. At least I can still go to that funeral tomorrow.
