Good morning folks,
Two deliveries today each from a different carrier. Then I'll cycle down to the train station to collect tickets from the machine ( must remember to take the code ) I'm planning on visiting Big Tesco on the way home to pick up a couple of things, I'll put the Brommie in " Shopping Cart Mode " to check out the rack I fitted.
We're out to the pub this evening, a friend from the running club plays in a band and they have a gig at our local tonight. They go on at 8:00, I'll try to stay awake for the whole of their set 🎶

Damp here. Need to make a milkshake run later as I was thwarted last week by a closed road due to some pesky half marathon runners.

How do they run half a marathon? Every other pace or something.

Ooh! My head is sore!
There are large red blotches which feel hot to touch and the skin feels tight like a drum skin. It's like bad sun burn.I won't put the cream on this morning , I might tonight.

Sorry to hear that.

Wet, cold and very stormy here. I may make an executive decision to cancel the ride I had planned for my half day.

It was already the beginnings of dawn when I woke this morning. So I got up, only to discover it was only 6:30. It won't be long before the day begins before me again.

Good morning all. Yet another cool and grey morning here in Suffolkshire - Monday's sunshine & warmth seems to be a distant memory. Last night for the second time in a row I forgot to go to bed before falling asleep!

I'm not sure if this headline could have been written better - from my local newspaper's website this morning

Ooh! Is that a new TV programme ? Strictly Come De Icing ?

A Touch of Frost, perhaps?

One day, all of the documents & photographs that I've sent to my printer from the laptop are going to actually print!!

always so exciting

Have networked printers. These are shared amongst several users. One user refuses to grap that staring a print job on the printer at my station and turning your computer off does not work.
The printer just goes into hibernation until the machine restarts.
Other print jobs sent to that printer join a print queue.
Then colleagues wander in looking for their printing. I explain. They don't believe me and resend the print job.

Said colleague returns and switches on machine - I get deluged with the backed up printing.
Should have to get a licence to let her breed.

An email landed in my inbox asking me to confirm my Snapchat account. I hadn’t signed up for it. First went independently to browser to check link was valid Snapchat domain. I then cancelled the sign up removing my email. I then wondered what Snapchat actually was. There’s nothing on their overview page that actually says what Snapchat is. I must be getting old expecting a quick overview on the overview page.

One hour left before getting my ticket of leave for the weekend.

It's stopped raining now but still a bit breezy. I'm currently reviewing the likelihood of enjoying a ride.

Extra time having to spent cleaning when more importantly could be sleeping might explain the fluffy one

Is it possible that having fur that lays flat is actually warmer?

In my experience, printers are the most misused/badly used piece of kit in an office. No one ever knows how to load them with paper & if a fault occurs ,,,,

Mild-ish and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard after a decidedly chilly start.

I slept well, but had a very strange dream about celeriac soup. No, I don't know what to make of it either. Anyways, laundry day here today. Main load is on the go, then I have two items that need washing separately - one is a woollen arran-knit jacket belonging to the parental unit, and the other are my gardening jeans. The latter are more than just a bit grubby...

Have also re-jigged the fridges in the kitchen and utility room, sorted out some ingredients for supper and re-filled the fruit bowls.

A stock car programme that I ordered on the back of the dates in those newspaper articles has turned up. It covers one of the meetings mentioned and I do hope that there is something useful in there - will have a look at it later. I also have the March 1984 issue of Wheelspin in transit.

It is almost time for luncheon.
