Home!
Broken-down horse box at the A14-A1 junction added five or ten minutes to the journey
Quite a nice Simpsonesque sky here, though it's chilly; and of course it's now getting dark too. Ho hum

Just completed Phase I of preparing a very large number of chips for tonight's dinner. And the reason there's such a large number? Because they're to accompany a t-bone steak from Chatsworth Farm Shop, 21oz uncooked weight
This will be the first t-bone steak I've had since the 1980s. I had one then when out for my birthday, and thought it was a glorious thing; but then BSE came along, so you couldn't get steak on the bone for many years. I was eyeing up the ribeyes while the butcher was sorting out my pork chops, but then saw these mighty t-bones, right in front of me. So naturally I had to have one

Well, that steak was delicious
I can scarcely move now, I'm so full. Must have made one chip too many.
Just kidding, there is of course no such thing

Bloody hell, we thought you were dead!Originally posted by Diver View PostRemember that database I built a few years back, 1/4 million hyperlinked key word searchable easily accessible documents and drawings. Copy on the main server, 5 external drive copies for security? The client moved offices a couple of weeks ago and lost it (them). Good thing I kept a backup at Home
Anyway, I'm going back contracting in a few weeks after being permie for 8 years. Do I go Limited or PAYE Umbrella? go on, save me Googling?

Not sure about that brolly means no expenses which may or may not be a deal breaker depending on how much you have in the way of expenses.Originally posted by DaveB View PostBloody hell, we thought you were dead!
