I was just listening to Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse talking about their fishing programme, saying that sitting on the bank of the river spending hours fishing was a form of meditation .
I was wondering if a gentle pootle out in the countryside on a bike had a similar effect !

I've been tear gassed !
My wife has been peeling onions in the kitchen whilst I was making the tea.
I can hardly see a thing !

I notice your first reaction is to come onto CC and tell us...

I'm half Belgian - that's my excuse. Frieten mayonnaise is almost the national dish in any case.

I must admit mayo on chips is quite acceptable. Unlike red or brown sauce.

If my late father was anything to go by, my recommendation would be to cover your arse and get a card anyway. And maybe a bar of *really* good chocolate e.g. NOT Godiva

FIFY

I have had to set up an online account with BT in my stepfather's name as somehow my mum managed to add my mobile number to their call protect blacklist. They don't have (or want) any form of online access and you can only unblock numbers online!

Best of luck. Every time I try to use my BT account it tells me the PW is wrong and I have to change the PW!

Job interview today - this afternoon. Fingers crossed.

I've had to write a presentation for Powerpoint. I have Keynote on Mac. Got to test the export to see if it looks right in Powerpoint. This means using Windows. I really hate Windows. I'll have time to get over my frustration - it takes Windows a good 30 minutes to load properly, so chance for a ☕. If I was using Mac or Linux, it would only take 30 seconds...

The sun is out, drying up next doors massive puddle. Meanwhile the gent trimming her hedge is hard at work.

Do they have to be a nuclear physicist as well ?

That is by no means the worst.

I know I've said this before, but it's not like you can fling a stick and hit an Occupational Therapist. Finding one that is a carpenter and wants to work with people with Psych issues is even more difficult.

There were some people with an HGV licence on my course, but guess what? They weren't cabinet makers...

I had to read that several times before it made sense to me

Apply anyway, that's a wish list, not a qualification description, unless they already have someone in mind.

Owwwww, all my joints have seized up today. Moving around is challenging at best and rather painful at worst. At least I'm not the shivery and nauseous snot factory that I was yesterday.

On the flip side, it's nice and sunny and I have a lapful of tortoiseshell cat. Nurse Poppy is taking very good care of me.

 

[Gravity Aided]

A like for the nurse, not the ailment. A zonal shift in the weather does that for me, and we're starting one now. Going from highs of 90F to highs of 64 F in the matter of a day or so, and staying there until it drops more.
