    That happened to me a week last Saturday when I met an ex neighbour who informed me that another ex-neighbour had popped her clogs.

    But I can't find any announcement of funeral details or anything else.

    Ho hum.
    As my friend said, it seems to be happening at an ever-increasing rate

      Well, the round of reorganisations at client co has resulted in the departure of 3 contractors and the conversion of another to permie, however I'm still there and billing so must be doing something right

      New Director is open to discussions about working directly on commercial terms as well in order to control his head count and costs. Just got to get it past the agency. Might mean a bit of contractual jiggery pokery as the gig is with one division of a larger multinational, so may end up going via the US parent co. to make it work.

      Watch, as they say, this space.

          Dinner has been served: the boeuf bourguignon I cooked last night, which in the end had over six hours cooking in a cast iron casserole on the induction ring's slow cook setting. The idea of making it a day early, in order to get the benefit of it tasting better the day after it was cooked, worked a treat - it was delicious

          And there were four more portions, so the freezer is now getting to be overstocked if anything. I think I'll have to start eating stuff out of it more, rather than putting stuff into it

            I could do with a hand in dealing with the gooseberries in the freezer dating from 2010.

              Aw feck, I'll never learn.

              Reading stuff Specifically in General is never a good idea.

              Only another 3300 pages to go through though.

                  My Monday early night plans went as well as usual

                  Still, I've managed to make myself a cob for tomorrow's lunch. Goodnight all

                      Morning denizens

                      There's a little light in the sky when I get up now

                      IIRC this should still be the case even when the clocks go forward in a few weeks
