First day of the working week completed, only four more to do.

Restocked on some groceries after work and note the cost of a bag of raisins seems to have risen by 40C. That's almost a 50% increase.

Went to my dance class then. Walking past the Hyundai dealership, I see they're having an open day for people to sample their electric car range. Tempted to go to see what they're really like but would feel I'd be wasting their time and being an imposter. There is zero chance of me buying a new electric (or petrol or diesel) car as I couldn't afford it and even if I could, I couldn't possibly justify it for all the use I have for a car nowadays.

Putting off writing another report...

Never put off 'til tomorrow something you ought to have done today, or you'll end up putting off your whole life away!

I've just realised that my computer keyboard doesn't have a euro 💶 symbol. Old school! 😎

Mine doesn't either, although I believe you can get to them. Maybe alt and 20AC. doesn't work or me, but I usually write out Euros. I am in The States, so my keyboard may differ.

My boss didn't like the Hyundai, he gets the Rivian for trips instead-better range and he likes the styling better.

Or as my mate Graham had on his wall as a framed piece of calligraphy,

Why put off something til tomorrow when it can be put off til next week

Foxy Loxy has been about this morning. She looked around to see if there was anything to eat by the bird feeder and then went and had a drink from a bird bath.

I understand the words, but being very much outside of popular culture I'm not sure what they mean. I am vaguely aware some of these are these are musicians.
