It turned out a nice day after all. I probably should have gone for a ride but felt tired as I haven't really been sleeping that well recently.

I spotted something on Facebook Marketplace that I had always fancied owning, so went and a bought it instead.

Corgi had made a limited run of Leyland Leopard buses in the colours of a local bus company in the 1990s. I had fancied one for a long time. I couldn't afford one when I first saw them back then. They still had these in the road into the early years of the century.

Good morning. Yesterday was the last day doing the inventory at work.

I was bored out of my brain and not really concentrating by the end.

Never did like the shop stocktaking. There was always something that "didn’t exist" on the shelves. Or stuff we'd never had "missing".
Working from printed sheets was a lot easier than using the faster scanners when they passed part of the audit onto a third party. Non scanning items, barcodes/descriptions that had to typed into the scanners.

Been there, done that too. Small scale food retail when I was a student. Was an all pen-and-paper job back then.

Preferred pen and paper. Printed sheets delivered to each shop the week before, showed what we were showing as having. The obvious ones that we didn't have could be marked off before. The ones we had, but weren't shown as having could be added.

Owners never trusted the shop staff, so we'd always end up working in another store, as a security backup. Then have staff from another store working with us, when we did ours.

In my case, it was a small independent continental deli. So had the joys of counting jars of sauerkraut, mustard, bags of buckwheat, sausages and the like...

Morning.
It is still a bit dark so I can't see what it is doing.
I finished reading the Dig book which I thought was a dvd. I said that I was a slow reader. I have now started reading Bradley Wiggins book so that should take me all of next year as it is quite thick.

Can peeps ride their bikes no handed? I used to be able to do it when I was young on my old bike but find modern bikes to be too "Ooh err!" Even just taking your hands off the bars momentarily is like dicing with death! I have found that my Synapse gone more stable and can take my hands off for a second.

I can't: I was too cautious to try and learn. I do find it ironic when people ride no-handed wearing a h*lmet...

Morning pre work exercise has been travelled.
First cuppa brewing.
Just about light enough outside to see the bottom of the garden so next job is to top up the garden bird feeders

"His door remains open!"
It could be a bit of grit caught underneath the door or that the hinges need oiling?
It can't be nice sitting in an office with the door wide open. How are you going to stop the Bailiffs from taking your furniture?
