    I'm off sick today for the first time in years. I'm fed up already.

    Why can't I get sick on nice sunny days instead of this tulipty weather?

      Dry.

      Not grey.

      Sunny.

      Blue clouds.

      Cool but getting warmer.

      Train on time at 4 minutes late.

      Zero blindpersons or exes.

      Hill steep.

      Pavement art all gone.

      Trench almost full.

      Spare stones all removed.

      Wall almost finished.

      Skool glinting gently in the rays.

      Thursday.
      Thats possibly the most positive post you've ever made in this thread. The only thing that would top it of is if it was Friday as well

        The water supply and drainage from the sink in our kitchen area at clientco haven't worked for two weeks now.

        They've tried three times to fix them.

        We have to use the water machine to fill kettles, which takes an age.

        We have a slop bucket to empty waste liquids into. Which gets pretty rank by the afternoon.

          Drinks and nibbles at Clientco's new office yesterday.

          Very nice location by a river.

          Much better selection of sandwich shops and restaurants nearby.

          Despite being much further from home, commute time similar because there's a direct train instead of train plus bus. Lack of cheap car parking noted.

          Home fridge packed with various cheeses which were left over from the nibbles.

          Helped on and off train with server on wheels (with cheeses atop) by a very leggy young lady in very short mini skirt.

          Mental note made of which train that was.

          Sunny. Blue skies. Friday!

              There's sommat wrong with all of the above, but I can't put my finger on it.

              In the library with the hoi polloi.

                Your forgetting the perving opportunities over the women coming in to borrow a copy of 50 Shades

                  I told the missus to get that 50 Shades of Gray - she came with a Dulux colour chart

                    Extracted 27 bin bags of moss from the lawn yesterday.
                    Thats not a lawn - it's a field.

                    Blimey Zeity, how big is your lawn or is it constantly underwater

                      Hot.

                      Sunny.

                      Someone's broken the weather again.

                      Sitting in the library with the hoi polloi.

                      Just spent 1.5 hours in the barbers getting my hair cut.

                      Ho hum.
