The biggest, fattest bee has just come in my office window!

Bee dealt with. Ushered out to find somewhere else to live over winter.

Does anyone else scrawl notes on bits of paper and then can't read them or remember what they are about? Just binned "coie slan 1698". Hope it wasn't summit important.

In other news it's pissing down & not taking prisoners.

I can feel a bonfire coming on. <- bonfire.

I see in other news that

My hovercraft Glastonbury river is full of eels stoned on MDMA

Bonfire duly bonfired.

Much crap disposed of therein, though next door's damp stuff proved rather too smokey and slow to bother with much, but most of their brambles seemed to burn successfully.

Tea: Tesco breaded haddock, fruit salad, a yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: Discovering Deborah Kerr.

Joy of Painting. Om.

And it had the usual effect.

"Yellowstone Supervolcano" on Smithsonian: more good news.

I suppose I could watched S1 E2 of The Rookie. :

Bad Skin Clinic.

Chap with unpleasant looking zits.

Chap with a large cyst on his cheek: much cheesy goodness came out of that.

Woman with a large lipoma on her back: GA for that one.

I live off post-it notes on my desk as I scribble reminders in meetings and then have to decipher them later. More than once I've chucked one and had to rummage in the bin to find which of the identical green stickies is the one I should have kept.

Lunch has been sausages in finger rolls, and very nice they were

[ladymuck]

Lunch was tomato and mascarpone soup (lacked salt / seasoning).

Now using one of the white tiles from my shed as an excellent little whiteboard to scribble notes on. Really handy. Wipes off with a bit of bog paper.

Dammit. Looks like my nice long break might end up being just a fortnight instead…

Ah well, think of the money…
