Mundane News

Drove up the M6 today, passed a gritter northbound, then another southbound was seen in the other carriageway. Gritting in the rain!

When I got back, the pump had done a grand job. Sadly I left it off too long & now it's back on.

And now it is snowing!

Before @Reynard posted about her little snack, I had 8 packets of salt and vinegar crisps. Now I have 6.

No salt & vinegar I'm afraid - it's one of the very few flavours I don't like... I've got beef, cheese, pizza, hoisin duck or sausage roll.

I've also got sage & onion cashews and peanuts.

I quite like the sound of the hoisin duck crisps. Do they actually taste like hoisin duck? Or are they like smokey bacon crisps that never taste anything like smoked bacon.

No, S&V crisps are @Reynard secure. She simply posted when I was hungry. So, it's her fault.

They taste more like the sauce. But there is a duck farm next to the place that makes the crisps, so...

I'm down to my last few bags. Been hoarding them a bit, because the local crisp factory that makes them burned down last summer. They're in the middle of re-building, but it will be a while before they start making crisps again.

I appear to be of interest to the authorities.

Haviing had Ipsos-Mori wanting to know if I've got Covid, today the Office of National Statistics want me to take part in one of their surveys. They even included a £10 gift card bribe.

First big batch of marking finally finished.

Now just 6 bits on two modules to do tomorrow.

MI5 will be the next to contact you!

It's snowing here.
Went from rain to snow within a 1/4 hour.

Blimey, that's cheap! The ONS survey I'm on is £25 a throat and snot shot, weekly at first for a month with £50 for the first ''consultation'' and now monthly. I'm over £200 up. Better return than Ernie!
