Morning

Rainy there too?

Lashing it down

[original PM]

The cob shop over the road has been transmogrified. I assume they finally managed to sell it. It's been painted a rather unpleasant shade of green, replacing its tasteful creamy pale yellow, and has acquired garish illuminated signage replacing the typographically quite pleasing sign of yore.

It's still called "The Cob Shop" though, so at least it hasn't been turned into some nightmarish hipster watering hole

I'll have to try their bacon and sausage cobs before I can be sure things are OK, though.

Oh it will and your bacon and sausage will be replaced by mung bean and beard.

You need to firebomb the place now to stop it spreading.

:-S

It has. It's an ironic pastiche of the garish 'greasy spoons' of times long past. They guy serving will have a mullet but for some reason you'll need to make a reservation.

It's going to stop around lunchtime, apparently.

I was going to go shopping and to collect some stuff from the sorting office, but I think I'll leave it until this afternoon

Though, TBH, the mullet could just mean he lives on one of the many nearby council estates

just found a pack of greggs sausage rolls in the fridge with only two left in the pack

Just had a warmed up one now to take the edge of hunger.

The other will be scoffed at lunchtime with a cob/roll/batch/barm cake.

Flying visit as I'm busy on plan b, plan c and working at a new clientco a mile from home.

This place is too depressing now so I'm not staying

Hello stranger

All this shifting of paper is getting a bit overwhelming.

Though I did find some hardware from 1979 just now.

I think it was a floppy controller card from some sort of ancient computer, certainly not ISA or Apple II.

It had a ceramic packaged NS1770 which at a guess is the floppy controller chip.
