Sorry to hear that, rusty. The way things are going at my place, I might be doing the same... very soon!

Hmm 20% is a pretty severe reduction. Hope you keep your job (if that's what you actually want).

I'm so hoping that's a Portal-seque euphemism for a collection of rooms filled with fiendish and brutal traps.

Unfortunately he's only there today (I should really check his calendar more often). Well, I've been there for a two day course before and I made it out alive Just getting there can be a challenge at this time of year. It's not actually in Buxton but up a rather steep hill in the middle of nowhere (which is a very useful feature when you do explosives testing). I'm not making this sound any better am I

You should have tried it this evening. It was grimly hilarious. Men walking round with bouquets of roses and a desperate, haunted look in their eyes. Women staring at the 'Valentine's Day isle' with plainly no clue at all what they were going to do, because the entire contents was aimed entirely at men buying presents for women... I'm single at the mo so I can observe the whole thing with a vaguely dispassionate eye, but even in my last relationship (which lasted almost a decade) we never indulged in this farce of passive emotional blackmail. She was far too matter of fact and I'm just a naturally contrary bastard anyway. If your loved one loves you, they do. They don't need to prove it, and especially don't on a day anointed by purely commercial interests as being the day for doing so.

We do a card each and then get some ready(ish) meals so minimal cooking and open a bottle of bubbly

There's nothing wrong with a card and a box of chocolates or similar on the 14th. I'm actually going out with my other half on 16th this year but that's only because I bought a restaurant deal back in December and the restaurant is under my office

Romance AND convenience . I'm not against people being romantic. I just think if they only bother to do it on the 14th (and only even bother figuring out what to do at 5PM on the 14th) because they feel obliged to makes the whole thing pointless.

I had to get a cab home from Tottenham and at 7.30pm I was up a ladder bringing down 2 scaffolding planks from the garage roof as they had become dislodged. There were some plant pots scattered over the garden but couldn't see any other damage apart from that. I'll have a proper look in daylight tomorrow.

The staff lounge where I have lunch most days has floor to ceiling windows down one side which look out onto a 'quad' that you'd assume was fairly sheltered. Nevertheless Doris picked up a plastic litter bin and slammed it against the glass - with some force - right next to where we were sitting. We moved pretty sharpish.
