Tired this morning. Unsettled sleep. HWMBO getting up at 3.30 am for a widdle and then walking into the bed didn't help but wasn't the primary cause.

Lunch: a ham toastie

The rain is becoming intermittent, but isn’t ready to give up just yet

I remembered to stick the mattress topper and pillow protectors in the wash. I split the load for drying, so the latter are now done and the former will be done in forty minutes or so

Finally received the contract for Gig#3. Now negotiating when to start. I'm aiming for Wednesday next week.

Old fart Mahjongy thing this morning. I won again! My mappy thing is just about perfect now, placing pins or lines with specified lat/lon etc exactly as Bing maps.

Another week done!

As soon as I finished, I was in the kitchen, where I blended lamb mince with finely-chopped green and red chillies and a load of spices and rolled them into sausage shapes. These are back in the fridge now to give the flavours a chance to mingle, and will be skewered and grilled later for tea

Excellent!

Tea, as predicted, was homemade kebabs things in a pitta bread with sweet chilli sauce, and some fries
