Afternoon all.

Chucking it down here and the back gutter is dripping, which is fecking annoying.

How are you all doing?

Currently trying to get out of this fecking boring permie job. Well, getting out is easy enough - having something to jump to is more tricky. The market seems absolutely dead right now, possibly unsurprisingly.

Friday bin day here too.

Fully understandable - the market seems dire even in areas that (like mine) are booming.. No one wishes to commit to anything by the looks of it.

You may need to go see the doctor about that?

Mundane laundry is on, and has been for a while, so should be finished fairly soon

I popped out to retrieve the recycling bin, discovering in the process that it’s even more cold and wet and horrible out there than it looks from in here

And lunch has been a ham sandwich (sesame bloomer) with a bag of plain crisps

Lunch was cheese spread on toast (2 slices) and Mrs CB has just arrived home. We're enjoying a nice mug of Lapsang Souchong.

It's still miserable out there and not helping my mood. Luckily I have a referral to our local mental health trust for my ongoing anxiety problems.

Cottons out of the TD.

I discovered why there seemed so few: I forgot to do the pillowslips.

Jeans currently in the WM though the hiking socks managed to escape being washed this week despite being put ready.

Mr Hewlett and Mr Packard got a mention on the wireless just before 14:00 in that Stanley Tucci programme about California, so did Stanford, but no mention of Frederick Terman.

Monday's programme introduces the founder of Silicon Valley as Silicon Valley, namely William Shockley.

If he'd been a better boss the industry wouldn't have developed the way it did because of The Traitorous Eight.

No Intel which would make AtW happy.

Probably no AMD either.

Jeans are out of the WM and in the TD.

Only another hour or so and all will be done.

I'm going down town on the bus again today.

I may be some time.
