Morning. I've given up with the weatherguessers at the BBC. Yesterday was supposed to be showery, and turned out to be warm and sunny. Today was supposed to be warm and sunny, and turned out to be dull, grey and damp. The forecast for the week was originally going to be wet, wet, wet, yet last night it was sun, sun sun. I'd do better working it out for myself, I think. Anyway, the washing won't get put out on the line to dry today after all. I needn't have bothered getting up early to get it in the machine. Back from our weekend break in as good a mood as ever, you'll note.

Morning all. For some reason I'm not hungover. Strange, especially after the amount I drank last night. The curry must have soaked it up. Time for a coffee & trip to the cafe for a breakfast bap.

Morning all Strange trip into work this morning, some bloke in a Lexus got upset after I passed him clapping my hands as he had eventually managed to pullover to the left hand lane and let me pass..... He then went out of his way to cut me up and signal to me that he had in fact got some coffee beans clenched in his fist…..

Morning all
Got to work early as the train gods were kind. Had my tea and toast and just finishing configuration of a laptop for a site manager. And all before 9.15am. I'm on a roll!
Have a good day all.

Morning Worlds,
My original FPotD has vanished so I'm trying again. It won't be as long or amusing as the original, but I'll summarise it here:
- I beat Hell Hill last night, only stopped to catch my breath at the bottom before getting all the way up without stopping. Very proud, took the Mister to the pub for a drink to celebrate.
- I didn't get to bed even remotely on time last night, by the time we'd eaten dinner, finished an episode of Doctor Who and I'd fed fish and packed a bag for today it was already 22:30, then I lay awake chatting with my Mister until after 23:00. Luckily I can early night tonight, Nic is going to her Mums after dinner so I shall shower and hit the sack as soon as she's gone.
That will be all.

Morning all. Been up to campus this morning. At work now. I was up on campus late last night too. Bah! It looks like those pesky BAA strikes have been called off, at least, which means I can spend some more money. Yay.

Middle of nowhere, 16km to the nearest town, no car and no shops in between. Mostly a dead zone but mobile internet and phone signal available at certain locations. I may be here for some time.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Greetings. I have a stiff neck and shoulder. This has annoyed me, because all the treatment I've had this past couple of years has generally stopped it happening. The moral is my next car ought to have air conditioning, so I don't have to have a window open to stay cool. If you hear howls of pain and discomfort coming from this direction, don't worry. It'll pass.

Morning World, Feeling cr@ppy today, cold appears to have set in which is really annoying..It's summer damnit On the plus side I relaxed in a lovely hot shower before bed last night, slept really well and have a fresh cup of peppermint tea. I'm also going home tonight which is another BIG plus point. Busy day beckons so I'll be catching up sporadically during the day. Have a good hump day y'all
