Blue skies and sunshine here, sausages on the BBQ, 1st load of washing on the line, father in London, do I:
A) open a bottle of home brew with lunch.
B) have lunch then walk dog to friend’s pub (will mean an 8-10 mile round trip)
C) do some gardening
D) something else

A then B

don't you upload your CV to the job sites? - then it's just 'apply' and the site does the rest.

Nope.

There's so few jobs that I'm a) interested in and b) competent at that it would be a waste of time.

Plus I don't trust the barstewards.

Had lunch, a mixture of Ginsters Cornish Pasty and a bit of Morrisons Pork Pie (reduced) followed by a blueberry acai yoghurt.

It was alright in its way.

Now cooking some chili con carne having found the rtf recipe on this box because the recipe printout folder thing has disappeared somewhere during the frenetic cleaning exploits, probably never to be seen again.

Alternatively it went down the dump earlier with the rest of the paper recycling, the dead telly, and 3 dead vacuum cleaners, this last bequeathed to me by the late Strangelove Mater who had a special technique for killing vacuum cleaners.

All her vacs have now gone to the great skip in the sky Briton Ferry dump Civic Amenity Site.

Well that was stunningly unsuccessful.

Upload your cv in *doc *.docx *.rft or *.pdf format

Refuses to take the CV.rtf file I attempted to upload with zero explanation of why.

Total Jobs: Total Waste of Time more like.

Oh.

Open it with word, save to desktop as rtf and suddenly it's 50k bigger and acceptable.

Feckwhits.

Should be good for a laugh.

A) open a bottle of home brew with lunch.

Tick

C) do some gardening

Tick - Dead-headed the big rose at the front door. (OK, not exactly lots of gardening)

D) something else

Tick - second load of washing on the line, poo-picked the chickens, listened to TMS.

B) have lunch then walk dog to friend’s pub (will mean an 8-10 mile round trip)

Tick under way... Back online in a few hours!

What a successful day!

Winning!

While we're talking about achievements, I've stuck some jeans in the wash

^That's a lot of ticking. Send for the bomb disposal people.

I wouldn't even attempt to dead head the self planted rose in the front garden.

For 3 weeks of the year it's glorious, covered in thousands of single blossoms & the bees love it.

However the thorns really are something else.

It's now 6 feet across and there's a leader stem that seems to be heading for orbit, it's at least 8 feet tall with the most ferocious looking thorns I've ever seen.

Down at the not-so-local where they still have a cask of 6% beer that’s 18 months old. Shouldn’t work, but the first 3 were good. Time to walk home.

The Wife (tm) has just left St Neots. It’s a race home.

[WTFH]

I’m winning the race. Two of the 3 hills climbed. The last on is a killer, but she’s still on the M1.

One for your occasional "from the bench" thread NF:

10 Scientifically Impossible Places That Actually Exist:

Not quite so weird as no 4 but took a photo of some odd humps in Knowle park that cover a large area. Probably an obvious explanation but too lazy to look. Seemed too big and too many to be mole hills.



As for number 3, I remember well the Bristol Hum from my student days. When you heard it during normal hours you imagined it was just the noise of traffic but it never diminished.
