Morning all.

Bloody awful trip to work this morning. Highways England have decided to spend a week or so resurfacing one of the main southbound exits from Peterborough onto the A1 (J17). This naturally has caused carnage as the dversion routes through a little village called Yaxley to get to the next junction (16). Tailbacks ahoy as 3 - 4 lanes worth of rush hour traffic not t mention all the other local traffic tries to syphon down to a single carriageway!

To cap it all off, at the roundabout off the A1 I need for work someone went up the northbound slip (that would be the one I need for work), decided they'd made a mistake and did a U-turn on the sliproad and drove back down it. Fortunately I was waiting at traffic lights while most of this was going on so I could look on in disbelief rather than be trying to drive up the sliproad.

Suffice to say, this morning has done nothing for my liking of people generally and impatient idiots who think it's acceptable to drive the WRONG [LIFTED] WAY down a sliproad in particular.

And it hot. Still, at least my office has air con.

Have a great day folks.

Less strenuous journey into work this morning although still a bit of a detour. Plus it seems to be a little cooler as well, which is nice.

Have a great day folks.

Morning all,

big excitement last night, they found a 250Kg bomb on the side of the canal yesterday and were evacuating the area as I drove home, so I had to take the long route. The evacuation area was about a half a mile from here, so we could stay.

They were going to defuse the bomb, but according to the local paper, which was live-blogging the event, the disposal team decided to put a water cordon around the bomb and blow it up in place.

Finally, at 8:22 last night, there was a big bang, which we heard here, a couple of miles away from the epicentre, the bang wasn't overly loud here, but you could still feel a light vibration from the shockwave.

In early to avoid the traffic.

And it seems to be cooling down (a little anyway), which is nice.

Have a great day folks.

Solstice day, and a very hot one too most likely.

Yay, less hot. However, also now trying to rain with the possibility of thunder storms.
In other news work e-mail seems to be experiencing major issues. Bit of a problem when your job relies on access to e-mail.

Anywho, have a great day folks.

Morning all.

Somewhat cooler today although the expect rain/thunder etc doesn't really appear to have materialised so I expect things to get suitably muggy by the afternoon. Mind you, if the breeze keeps up maybe it won't.

Also, yay Friday!

Morning all,

First team meeting has been cancelled. Now waiting for a student to turn up, to do a maths exam, then off to another site, for another team meeting.

Yay... gotta love the meetings!

Have a great day, everyone.

:)
