Mundane News

[Illaveago]

I was listening into the peeps who took over the ex Thomas Cook branches. It was interesting how they have managed to take on most of the ex employees and are making a success of things . They seem to be doing well by not making efficiency cuts in reducing members of staff.
I wonder how football managers would fair if they carried out efficiency cuts and played with 9 players ?

I'm assuming these salads are far more tasty and substantial than a limp leaf of butterhead lettuce, half a tomato, two slices of cucumber and a dollop of pickled beetroot...

Somewhat.

It is -9C here right now, with a north wind. It is supposed to warm a bit, be really hideous Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, then moderate by Wednesday, with highs near 0C or above after that. Sometimes we are in the well sub-zero C (and sometimesF) for weeks this time of year, usually the last two weeks of January and the first two weeks of February. But things always seem to improve by Shrove Tuesday. Americans eat pancakes all year. Shrove Tuesday is just the day we have them at church.

Can you provide further details please, about the direction of the wind. Is it really south, or south west or west south west? Spose it could also be south south west?

Or South West by South, South West by West

Any breakfast serving retaurant has alternatives. Believe me, I would know. I am the same about eggs. Most fast food chains feature breakfast, and have a bewildering variety of options. Breakfast Burrito, for example/par ejemplo.

I've never liked pancakes. And now I can't eat them anyway as I have developed an allergy to eggs. Which makes life interesting. I'm probably the only cyclist in the world who doesn't eat cake

That's because his ear is fastened with a seatbelt. Will sort it out later.

Actually one of the lecturers at the university left it for anybody who wants it. I couldn't miss a chance.

There's an early model ford Cortina around here that has a full sized skeleton strapped in the back seat. Wearing a Fedora.

I'm assuming it's a medical model skeleton, rather than a real one.

In other news, I'm going to have a shower soon.

I also need to pack my bags for an interview in Tübingen tomorrow.
