The hour and a half commute into work today was very much like the two hour one yesterday. Fantastic!

We had a client freak out and vanish about two weeks ago. He's finally responded to phone calls and come to talk to me about what happened.

He's just left saying he'll think through the options I've offered him to help sort out the situation.

If you need me I'll be doing a happy dance around the office...

Our local Turkish DHL delivery driver is outside talking fluently to a customer in English on his cell phone. I'm not sure whether to be impressed that it is normal that so many people here are bi/trilingual, or depressed that someone that intelligent is being paid a rubbish wage to do deliveries.

Today is moving day, yesterday was packing day. Can't move in this house for boxes.

Bike already moved and in nice big garage, with boxes in. The question is, can we fit two houses into one?

At least it's flatter where we're going so might even get some cycling in. Giddy Lane, here we come.

If anyone has any thoughts on how to store bikes, is a floor stand a good idea?

I think you have to take the rooves off before they will fit.

Three weeks until Halloween, if you start a little early. My uni had an amazing celebration, every year.

Today it was our monthly get together us retired posties and such.I arrange Xmas dinner and as usual it ran smoothly,while taking the orders and picking a venue .It also gave me chance to pop in to Specsavers who after last years trouble ,blood on eye and double vision called me in for a YEARLY test,well it seems i have a cataract starting,so they will see me in another 12 months,i hope it does not go full blown because i have no vision other than seeing light in the left,so if down the line they operate i would be classed as blind while i recover,interesting Mr Bond.

Just in time for the Winter:

Wortleberry/Bilberry/Blueberry gin. I'm from Devon so they're wortleberries to me. Picked on Cannock Chase and the best part of ten months steeping in gin in a demijohn.

I need the demijohn for this year's sloe gin. They are washed and ready in the freezer.

What are you planning to do with that?

I'm still wondering if eating a pigeon breast was really a good idea.

It's a day too late for him/her to argue the toss.
