Home, and weekend!

And I don't feel as utterly shattered as I have been doing at this time on a Friday for the last few weeks. I think staying away for two or three nights brings the amount of driving under control, so I'll do that more in future. I'm still not keen on staying away all week, though.

Now to catch up with my lovely followees on Twitter. I wonder what they've been talking about today?

Timesheet submitted.

Me too!

Sadly I think we're stuck in the dark ages of faxing timesheets here. Having managed email at one place and online self-billing in another it's a real step back (and a pain in the bum). I wonder if any of the other contractors dotted around know any better. Time to go and say hello I guess

Sounds wretched. I don't think I've had to fax one since 2009

I submitted mine from my phone as I was packing up to leave ClientCo

Second squirrel dispatched this afternoon. Chickens now enjoying their food without losing most of it to vermin.

50 cal Barrett?

I find those very effective on Squirrels.

You need a real big feck off telescopic sight to off them from a mile away though.

Back in from a dog walk, I notice there are some signs up on the hill that weren't there last night. Arrows marking a route for an event.
I call the number...
'Oh yes, it's a "non competitive cycling event" with 250 people registered for it, the first riders should be through around 10am.
No one has ever complained about it in the 5 years we have run it.'
I let them know that if we are not told about the event before hand then there is nothing we can do to complain, we just have to get out of the way.
Not his problem, he doesn't care.
Let's just hope that these riders take their rubbish with them, don't completely destroy the tracks they are riding on, and look out for walkers and dogs who will be on the tracks.
Normally they don't. We end up picking up the rubbish and having to cope with the ruts.

...if you ever wonder why cyclists get a bad reputation, it's partly caused by these races.

Monday night & Wednesday night seems to work for me.

As you say, it keeps the driving manageable.

Apart from Friday.

Stone me, the lentil <pffffft> soup from yesterday just made a rapid exit.

They ain't termed "lycra louts" for nothing.

Have a look for VinceJeff the cyclist in pearls before swine.

It's "Vince the Vegan", my mistake. Vince got et by a bear who wasn't a vegan.

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth on FB.

I don't follow twatter, so dunno about that.

Summoned up the energy to start making dinner

I heard an odd noise from the living room - turns out it was the Heath Robinson device turning the light on

Same tulip. different day.

In other news the NorPusses have asked me to look up their ancestry in the hope of keeping them here.
