    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!

    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.

    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

    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?

    Where do all these seagulls come from?

    There was a flock of the bastards up on the hill the other day; it was like something out of a Hitchcock film.
    Strangely enough, they were flocking and making a lot of noise earlier in another part of the campsite and I commented to my wife that they had probably brought down an old lady or cornered a child

    Morning.

    Grey.

    Cool.

    Rain hammering on caravan roof

    Rainwater running like a river through the campsite

    Occasional Thunder

    Zero blindpersons but many many seagulls.

    Eggs, Bacon and toasted Crumpets finished.

    And now for an instant Latte.

    May take wife to Exeter shopping.

    Wet Thursday.

    Well after the brief respite, it's now getting darker & darker, with added greyness.

    November appears to have returned.
