Friday: it's not the end, it's the start

[wakemalcolm]

Decent forecast, no precipitation, a desire to get on 2 wheels but some taxiing to be done.

Maybe a day to try and do a bit of everything yet achieve nothing.

Something to ponder over coffee.

Morning

Wet again. So is this the beginning of the monsoon season after he end of the last monsoon season which was the day before yesterday? Lovely.

Coffee

I had a feeling, so I asked Google:

Based on the classic British idiom, it is highly likely that Stranraer is, indeed, wetter than an otter’s pocket.
"Wetter than an otter's pocket" is a phrase used to describe intense, soaking rain. Stranraer, located in South West Scotland, is frequently associated with heavy rain, with reports noting high rainfall, such as 20mm in under six hours.

The phrase was notably used in the Daily Record to describe torrential rain in the area.
It is often used in the UK to signify a state of being completely drenched.
An "otter's pocket" is often imagined as the ultimate, albeit mythical, state of wetness (though sometimes jokingly referred to as a skin fold under the armpit used for storing pebbles).

Therefore, in the context of weather, Stranraer's notoriously wet climate often fulfills this description.

Why did no one tell me?!

Off to a funeral today (no one close, but duty calls). Black suit removed from dry-cleaner wrap. Black tie located.

Takes me back to the 80s and 90s. I rather miss the old days of wearing a suit and tie to work.

Been to the gym, now making my way through a toasted bagel with some chicken.
Brew time shortly, early finish at 2 and no group sesh this evening so I can crack on with the garden in rediness for Monday when (hopefully) the real work starts. I may even provide pics...

These days I keep the funeral garbage all in one place, it's needed too often!

cloudy but dry here, but gives a good weekend. Working at home today but will get on with some DIY tasks later. Got to repair a big planter and then paint it.

Dull day here is the semi-arid hills of Kent. If you don't like rain, live on the East side of the country.

Good team building afternoon yesterday wandering round some of the nicer parts of central London on a 'scavenger hunt' type thing. And out team won, nothing to do with me being the boss 🙂 And free drinks & grub afterwards. Feeling OK today as well. Got a few meetings with head office and auditors but nothing too strenuous, then it's over the line and into the weekend.
