Forgot to report yesterday that I have been contracted to work on another project until the end of June. Start on the 12th, after Easter, as I wanted a break.

Now you have two headaches

I see Big Ship is still conveniently located for both banks of the Suez Canal

[NotAllThere]

Much better, thank you.

Good.

Still fuzzy headed

Back to normal then.

Saturday morning I walk into town to meet missus NAT from her workplace and come home with her. If I don't quite leave on time, I get the tram part way. That was today. As I got off the tram, a lady on a bicycle slammed into me. I mean massive green tram, coming to a halt at a tram stop,, where people will be getting off and you're not even supposed to cycle on 'cos it's a pavement... Fortunately, I'm unhurt. No idea if she is because she ran away.

Stopped by Lidl to see if they have any Stilton left. They do so we bought a pound so now I'm scoffing the remains of last week's. It was £6.20 a pound. How much is it in the UK nowadays?

At Sainsbury's, the normal stuff is £8.64 / kg which is ~£3.92 / lb, while the Taste the Difference stuff is £11.90 / kg aka ~£5.40 / lb

Since when do the Swiss use pounds and ounces?

The Lidl Deluxe Mature Blue Stilton here is 65.9p / 100g according to their website.

Our New Zealand Zoom call has been rescheduled to Easter Sunday

Personally, I think a four-day weekend should be dedicated to having a long lie-in four times, but it turns out I don't get a say in the matter

Never mind the stilton, did they have any good spanners on offer?

It's in 454g blocks. That's 1lb. I translated it for us older people. Seems that I'm paying twice as much as it would be in the UK. Not too bad I suppose. It's very tasty anyway.

Kebabs tonight. Son, daughter-in-law and grand-sprogs over. Son is currently working on his nailboard map of the world. D-i-l practising her saxophone. Neither activity goes down well with the other residents of their apartment block. I'm enjoying an IPA produced by a local brewery.

Popped up to the Co-op for a few bits, as I'm not sure I'll manage to get to Sainsbury's tomorrow given I'm no longer getting up early

Had a very enjoyable catch up with a friend of mine, down by the river in Richmond. I brought the bubbles (camel valley rose) and she brought blankets and nibbles. One bottle of bubbles really wasn't enough but it did turn very chilly so perhaps if we'd had more we would have been at risk of hypothermia.
