    It's ok for playing music but not brilliant. Will do until the Homepods appear though...
    Very useful for trolling your other half though.

          ClientCo have just said that they are still looking for a permie to fill the roll I am doing. This was followed up with "if you're interested". My response was that I'm in a contract with them right now, but once that was over if they haven't found someone else and want to make me a sensible offer, I would consider it.

            Personally the echo is a winner on usability just not on sound quality. I'm currently debating if its worth spending the £50 or so on a dot just to turn music off when a call comes in...

              You might be asked to train up your replacement.

              Personally I usually string them along a bit "I never say no to anything". "What have you got in mind". "How will you assist my career". "Can I think about it for a while".

              Finally say its very sad however you can't take a pay cut of 50%.....

                      Afternoon denizens

                      I got up at 7:15 and went down to unlock the gate for the bins, only to find it already open

                      Also, nobody seems to have put their bins out there this week - there were about three normal and one recycling, rather than fifteen or twenty assorted as usual

                      Anyway, I went back to bed and slept solidly for a few more hours, and feel much better for it

                      Grey day, though

                      Now having breakfast of strong coffee and a few digestive biscuits before setting off on various errands, the most important (but least enjoyable) of which is getting my hair cut
