tuesday resting by the tumtum tree

On the train into town, drove part of the way to get some early morning Panzercise Not too many meetings today which is good.

Warm out, still lots of trees down in the woods, mmmmm might be worth ‘helping’ out and cutting them up and removing the logs 😎

Was chatting to an old guy last night and he reckons he's now got enough logs to keep his house warm until he pops his clogs. Sliver linings (or birches) and all that.

Harsh, tlw1 isn’t even 50 yet.
First dibs on his gravel bike.

Wobbled in with sore shoulder. Greasy roads but mild.

You're on form this morning Seano.

Bloody hell it's dull.
I had a cat called Tumtum.
She came to us. Slowly enticed her in, then she spent 6 months upstairs - wouldn't dare to go out. Could not pick her up at first and then she became my best furry friend. Would always be waiting there for me when I came home from work.
Got killed on the road bless her.

That’s a cheerful story pinno, thanks for that. I’ve checked the thread and no one mentioned tumtum. How does the story relate to anything? Have you taken your meds today?

Speaking of tumtum, Japan has 1 vending machine for every 40 people. Also, lemons float but limes sink.

I was going to see how long it would be before he noticed.

How is your old house?

According to one of the ex-neighbours, the buyers haven't moved in yet. We knew they were going to do some work on it first (they still have their old flat closeby), but nobody has seen any evidence of any work going on either. Bit odd.

Anything beyond the word 'Tuesday' was surplus to Seano's cognitive capacity.

You win this round by default but I’ll get you 👊🏻

Exit via the French side of Geneva airport? I such a thing still exists. Remember doing that once, much more of a logistical faff than the Swiss exit. But would save crossing another border.

Day 2 test negative. Of course. Rapid antigen / lateral flow still, got back before the roolz changed again. Takes my total # of tests evah to 2, neither free.

Admin sort out day. Boring and grey.

Morning folks,
Day of wfh so I had a lazier start at least. Bit warmer out, not that I've been anywhere so this is just what I believe to be the case. Got lots to do but suffering with a dose of cba. TRavel has all got a bit more complicated, will it ease off again if they decide this new strain isn't as dangerous? Beautiful assistant was supposed to be driving to Poland for Christmas with the other beauties from her house, that's looking doubtful now. Similarly my sister was supposed to be driving over here so fingers crossed things don't go pear shaped.
Going to the old dear's later to talk to builder about work on the new place, things seem to be moving in the right direction.
Onwards and upwards...

Inviting them to you at Christmas seems the sensible solution. The Poles know how to celebrate Christmas 👍

That would definitely get me in trouble, might be worth it though

Currently sitting in a car park waiting.
Left early for a hospital appointment because of the regular gridlock at the roadworks, but sailed straight through.

As it stands all is OK, you can transit out of GVA within 24 hours as long as it doesn't involve a stop over.

As it stands... Probably be different when I come back from making a brew.

Is that the dogging car park?

Not THE dogging car park but might be another one.
Not hanging around to find out.

I think Pinno was angling for the address.
