i'm re-reading the 'spatterjay' sequence of books by Neal Asher to amuse myself during lockdown.
i'd forgotten lots of detail.

I do like Iain M Banks. Shame he's dead.

Well. After all that fuss about how I'm w**king the weekend, the last meeting of the day was telling us that we're now on a three day week.

So now on Tuesdays to Thursdays for the rest of April and potentially May too, that bit yet to be confirmed.

Is that good or bad?

I suppose at least its still a job. But you might end up drivelling 3 days and useful stuff the other 4? Like OU?

i've decided to get pished tonight.
glenmorangie and becks o'clock.

Mixed together with brown sauce?

It's the drink HWMBO got me on when I very first met him and I was trollied after trying several variations.

Century

Or did I already celebrate that one?

Very bad day today. Maybe I will drivel about it later.

I am even arguing in the joke thread! FFS - things are bad....

So regarding cats - cat with bad knee had to go to vet. Before he can be sent for surgery, he needed x-rays and blood tests. Total cost £785 - including an extra £100 to get him sedated as he is so bad around people.

He was in the vets most of the day. Surgery will be next week - probably Thursday.

He is not in a good way since coming home. He had a 2 inch step to get into litter tray - he could not manage. So MrsBP and I had a large mess to clear up. Now we are watching the other cats to make sure they don't attack him - cats are evil.

He has a blanket on the floor.

We have pet insurance - excess £175. Total bills covered £2000. I reckon with the surgery we might hit that. Thank God I still have a job. How do poor people afford it?
