I think FFS sums it up nicely. End of yet another contract, possible new one, possible permie grind. No clear plan for how I'm going to get the family through the future.

Can't shake a feeling of dread and impending doom for a few weeks now. Not quite at the point of noose round my neck as I was a while back but not too far from it.

Lot of it about, I think. These are stressful times

But it'll almost certainly all turn out all right in the end; it usually does

HWMBO found us a fab dinner spot. More food than we could eat and a bottle of wine for €28. Bargain! It was delicious too.

I then found us a very nice 1920's styled cocktail bar tucked away down a residential area via a route that passed not only a Roman aqueduct but also some very fine street art.

My new favourite cocktail is a caiprão which is like a caiprinha but has licor Berião in it instead of cachaça

Sadly, with these things, the dancing is the price you have to pay for the pleasure of seeing hapless Catholics martyred

Well it does start off with three hapless Protestants being burned at the stake courtesy of Bloody Mary.

Given the choice I think I'd prefer the axe.

Turns out there is "Elizabeth II", though rather disappointingly it's "Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)" of which I've heard nothing.

That was quick. Agency have another role starting ASAP. Fingers crossed...

I hope its better than £25 an hour inside IR35 some agent sent to me today, still laughing.

Did you notice who the poster asking the question was?

Spot the issue?

Yeah you used big words you may have confused him!

WNFS.

Always darkest before the dawn.

FFS. Getting a bit sick of the grind of life. Considering doing what 16 year old me wanted to do and signing up to go to sea. Not too old for it yet.

I rather fancied being a ship's radio officer.

But I don't think there are any these days.

Plus I don't like the sea and I get seasick.

Other than that, it was a perfect match.
