    Dinner has been consumed, and the new cooker did an excellent job on it

    Suppose I ought to nip down with the recycling and put the bin out, so I don't wake up the neighbours trundling it about in the morning

    And after that, some TV in a language I don't know, accompanied by a beer

      I don't believe it takes an apostrophe, but if it did, wouldn't Mother's Day be more appropriate.

      Since one normally has one mother unless one was conceived by surrogacy or by that new fangled 3 parent method, or possibly by an alien species with rather more than 2 genders.

        Went out for a bit of Korean food tonight for the first time.

        Tasty, good value and the place was packed.

        Around £20 for 2 courses, 5 minutes from London Victoria

          One can avoid the need to contemplate such complicated scenarios by opting for Mothering Sunday.

                  And it appears my faith will be rewarded. Client Co. have an exclusive deal with a particular agency. it would appear that someone forgot to proces the paper work for renewals despite the contractors getting contracts, and so a number of people have have their accounts suspended on the orders of internal audit.

                  Until relevant management arrives on site to sort it out we are twiddling our thumbs. I'll give it till 10 then I'm going home. Still billing them for it. They can always charge it back to audit

                    It's friday, it's invoice day, and following a night out with old colleagues I don't have a hangover
