    Morning all,

    After signing her new contract elsewhere the gf handed her notice in at her job last night, needless to say she found it very empowering and put her in high spirits. Led to a very entertaining evening at least.

    So I'm well and truly in the Friday feeling this morning, looking to be an early finish already given what's showing on the system and my pain in the @rse boss isn't in either so one less thing to ruin what's panning out to be a good day lol.

    Hope that Friday feeling lingers for you all day LTC.

    Got up early me. Dunno why. I'm knackered already. Off to do bus conversion stuff me. Might go very slowly and stop often to eat pastries. Trout washed down with Chablis tonight.
    Now, do I or don't I buy that Castelli Espresso 4 or not...? That is today's big question.

    Laters.

    I was promised a booze fulled entertaining evening tonight but the missus has woken up full of cold so that's out the window :(

    Managed to bugger the laptop downloading windows 10, should have left well alone. Hopefully I can unfreeze it before the walking dead notices.

    Did you actually pass the MOT yesterday or did they just confirm you're alive Piña? I must admit whilst being signed off after 10 years of haematology check ups was a good day I kind of miss the reassurance of being told all was fine.
    Drove in today as I have to take a couple of free Mini bumpers home with me. One can be fitted now and the other kept as a spare which will inevitably be needed soon. Being Fryday I will be visiting the cafe later and it's also cake Fryday for the double win. Stopping at the pub with the Mrs on the way home. All I need is for the computers not to go belly up again today so we can get the orders out the door.

    Yeah it's Friday and I'm working from home so we can get to the pub earlish doors to meet friends is offset by the wife's company putting everyone on notice of redundancy - bigger all chance of her replicating her pay and flexible child friendly hours :(

    Friday, so no work day for me. Waiting for it to thaw out a bit before going for a ride.

    All this pub talk is making me wish I hadn't given up drinking until 18 March.
  • Todays internetting has revolved around finding some free software to rip DVD's so I can watch a film on the plane.

    Then I had to watch a jargon free youtube on how to fix the program I found as the film was all over the place and apply little fixes.

    It works now but ripping is slowing my PC down so much it's like pulling teeth trying to do anything.

    Off to the shops later for prosecco and beer for tonights hot tub party.

    Had an interesting chat with a roofer today, we both had a lot to say, we were actually speaking the same Portuguese language, but he's from up t'north so neither of us understood what each other was saying or wtf was finally agreed, we spoke about money and beams and lintels and tiles and cement and skyfish, we shook hands, so that's settled then, fark knows what we have agreed, should be interesting...watch this space :D

    I can see tiles; thousands of them and lots of new wood to straighten it all up. F*ck.

    Evening lycra lovers,

    Bit tired - back from Wales having avoided any crashes but finished coated in mud. Bit of washing needed tomorrow...hopefully the pics came out OK :)

    I just don't believe it. If it's true, he must be a dare devil of global significance and I take it all back.
