Three inches of snow here, overnight, although places just to my south got more.

I have a hangover & I’ve had inadequate rest.

Inking in a sketch for a Christmas card. I've been focussing on the lines for so long my eyes are going funky.

She was also given a "Milka" chocolate advent calender (Also not from us, when your birthday is on Dec 1st people tend to think in the same direction) so she's happy: chocolate and a kitten...

Best sort of kitten.

Currently looking through job possibilities, and a new one has come up:

"Trainee Occupational Therapist for one year internship"

The Internship comes after training & exams are over and before our final presentation. Next sentence:

"Applicants must have prior experience..."

Do the people who write these things actually think before engaging with the keyboard?

Replaced the capacitor on the borehole pump.

Water coming out of taps, after none for 24hrs - these things always seem to break on Sunday mornings.
(I know - always carry a spare..)

These momentary glitches make you properly appreciate stuff like running water

We always seem to have major breakdowns at work on a friday..

We always seem to have major breakdowns at work on a friday..

This is why, I think, we end up personifying inanimate objects.

As if they know....

In my defence for not having a spare, the capacitor had only just blown 6 weeks back, and it's usually only a once in every 18 mnths occurrence, hence my lack of urgency in replacing the stock.

Guy at pump parts depot reckons this may presage all out pump failure..

Usual, average lifetime of 10 yrs, can be shortened by high iron content water.. -

Being on old Devonian red sandstone that's what we've got here.

A thoosand poonds to replace..

Eeek,

But I think it's still cheaper than paying for the amount of mains water I use in my operation over ten years..

Sorry guys.. Too much borehole chat..

Anyone has a nice cup of tea ???

A rare day at work where it was a pleasure to get in and see there was some work to do. The fact that it involved a visit to a warehouse 1/2 a mile from where my sister lives, I had the Christmas cards ready at home for her and my niece & nephew and that I could pick them up on my way out had nothing to do with my immediate volunteering at all

Still got the lurgy, not looking good for tomorrow. Been off work, and I'm suposed to be on a meal out tomorrow - we've even booked the afternoon off on leave. This rate I won't be going. I seem to fall ill most years just before Christmas - all the crazy running about at work takes it's toll. I dragged myself in Thrusday and Friday, but the bug has got worse. Just frustraiting as that's twice now since October. Lots of germy students.

Get well soon, @fossyant . No lurgy like holiday lurgy.
