Lunch has been jumbo hotdogs in finger rolls.

with tomato sauce and american mustard.

i appear to have become a very colourful chap, having had a look in the mirror, after this morning shower.

about 5 or 6 distinct colours between neck and ankles

No telly tonight, for I have been reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Very good so far - I'm about halfway through.

And finished. Well worth reading

I suppose you only go under water wearing a diving suit.

And a LOT of lead weights unfortunately (It's a displacement thing)

in other news, the spares have arrived.
and, since i'm having more mobility daily, should all be fitted by the weekend

i can go terrorise the horsey set, then, by judicious use of the engine kill switch when overtaking

Watching a repeat of the Apollo thing on Smithsonian channel.

It's the ep about Gemini and the disaster of Apollo 1.

I have a sudden urge to get the Airfix Astronauts kit.

As shown on TV!

Those Gemini launches used the Titan which is hypergolic which explains the red clouds of nitrogen tetroxide.

Lovely.

give you summat to do, while you're waiting for that gig to crystallise.

Had the spec today.

I seem to tick most of the boxes, though the low pressure air control thing is a bit off the wall.

As long as it's not safety critical I'm happy enough.

Stone me this rocket science stuff really is rocket science.

Must be great fun to be sat on the launch pad waiting for launch only to be told that the Athena rocket you're supposed to rendezvous with has exploded at 50,000 feet.

Even greater fun to be stuck in a space suit for a fortnight.

on closer inspection, the bloody bike's in better nick than I am!

it feels a lot heavier for some inexplicable reason.

i dunno.

I accompanied HWMBO to the shops at lunch time and bloomin' eck it's rather warm out.

Back in my office, slaving away. Not long till gin o'clock so that's ok.

Lunch was left overs from dinner yesterday. A very yummy, and totally low calorie, risotto that contained no cheese or butter at all, ever, honest. The celeriac puree added in definitely wasn't buttery and I hear gorgonzola is considered a dieter's super food.
