Afternoon all At ClientCo again today or to put it another way, today is the last time I'll be in the ClientCo UK office this year.
Likewise, just filled my car up, and it won't need refuelling until Christmas.
What's with the sad faces? Gonna miss your fellow permie friends and your boss? Wanted to go to the Xmas conference and have turkey dinner in the subsidised staff canteen???

I think it means that instead of clientco in England full of European people speaking English, it will be clientco in Japan full of Japanese with very few speaking English
Wine + other stuff shopping done. As with the same promo last year, the doubled points went on a bottle of vintage port - though it was also reduced to £18 from £20 at the moment, leaving an extra £2 for wine. A couple of bottles of decent Rioja, also reduced, and a couple of bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, also reduced, and I should be OK for wine for a little bit
I also booked the Toyota in at the dealers for the special 100,000 mile service. I know it's usually an utter rip-off getting the service done at the dealership, but for the 100,000 mile mark and after such a hard-working summer, I reckon the car deserves it; also needs it, judging by the rather rough way it's running when cold
In fact, it's probably been around 15,000 miles since its last service, so it's well overdue.
And the laundry is now on, with precisely no work-related shirts

Being in a place where hardly anybody can speak English would be almost as good as having nobody else around at all
