Doesn't sound nearly as exciting as Cwmbran.


Following the afternoon's cleaning of the springs, a ferret about in the freezer has revealed a pack of M&S frozen peas BBE Oct 2012.

There's an icecream carton of green gooseberries dated 2010.

Somewhat knackered now.

In 1974 I was on £1500/pa fixing tellies, the academic career being rather less than glowing.

fixing tellies? I was an apprentice tv service engineer on £1300 in the eighties.

Trundling done as I forgot about the experiment in training the neighbours

Nice afternoon out there if you like that kind of thing

Bit of a queue for Iceland up the side road (maybe five people) so I didn’t bother popping in.

I was long out of it by the 80s.

Tellies didn't have valves anymore.

Plus working inside in a 3M factory making tape was rather better paid, and gave day release for HNC.

After which came CEI Part II and Siliconix for nearly 10 years.

Alongside the aforementioned programming guide to the Loughborough University Modular One Computer, I found the exam questions.

Not the foggiest idea about any of it, which summed up pretty well my response at the time.

Degrees back then were rather less dumbed down than they are now.

Still as dull as a dull thing here.

White sky, sunless, though quite warm and humid.


Tea: chilli con carne with rice, custard (boiled over to my eternal joy) and orange segments, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: TBD, then Sewermen at 21:00, Moon thing on BBC4 at 22:00.

I may try having a bath later to see if it stops my back itching so much.

That'll be the first one for several years, a cold shower being rather more usual.

In November 1995 I got my first proper job, after a summer of fleecing tourists. I was a junior accounts assistant on £10k a year.

[WTFH]

So, to celebrate my endowment coming in, I’ve just bought another house^* in Surrey.






^{*Note: It is a chicken house, suitable for 8 chickens, or in our case, 2 guineafowl.}

Does a guineafowl need more space than a chicken? Or are you planning on increasing the guineafowl headcount?

It’s clouded over rather now; not in a rainy way, just the way it does after it’s been sunny for a while

Been doing my loony dancing out in the street to music played for that clap for the NHS thing. Won't have to go on the boring cross-trainer tonight.

Bit earlier hung a mesh thing in front of my office window to stop any more little birdies crashing into it. Usually I hang some old Christmas decorations which look a lot nicer but couldn't find them.

PS Don't tell my cross trainer I called him boring, he'd be upset.

He'd probably be quite cross.


Now watching The Sewermen.
