Morning all,

water rationing already in effect here and temperatures expected to reach 40°C or more this week. :(

Morning all,

32°C yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.

We aren't allowed USB fans, no non-company USB or storage can be attached to a company PC. But the company does provide proper desk fans.

Wife is thrilled with her new e-bike.

Morning all,

38°C yesterday, it is supposed to reach over 40°C today. Tomorrow should cool down a bit and give us a storm, then another heat wave for the weekend and into next week. :(

It is just after 6 and I was out walking the dog and I am dripping! I hate hot weather!!

Morning all,

Back at work today, after almost a month off, due to illness. Still not 100% but close enough that I can at least make an appearance.

Have a great day, everyone.

:)

All the best, John.

I've been suffering with a sprained wrist, elbow and shoulder for about 6 weeks, with movement and strength slowly coming back, a bit more each day...

The heatwave has died down, we should only have mid 20s this week, but it is set to increase back into the 30s mid July. :(

That sounds painful, Dave. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Morning all,

Had a back to work meeting with my boss yesterday. She seems to think I might not get full pay for the time I was off.

I sense a storm brewing... *ominous music plays in the background*

Have a great day, everyone.

:)

It is too long since I worked in the UK, so I can't remember what the rules are. At Cap, I'd been there so long, that I get 6 months paid sick leave - I was lucky, I got mono and was written off sick for 3 months in 2001/2002.

Over here we get 6 weeks at full pay (per illness), then the Krankenkasse (health insurance) takes over and you get 60% of your normal salary. My other half fell into that at the beginning of the year, it can make for tight budgeting!

I hope you get it all sorted out satisfactorily.

Afternoon all.

Thanks, Dave. That is now my word of the week. Krankenkasse! Obviously I am reading that with an Allo Allo accent...

Only 45 minutes to go until home time.

Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone.

:)
