    Mystery solved. Mrs BP filled up her car Friday. With my card. Did not tell me.

    Asda kept £99 block on card. It was me turning up Saturday that caused her chrage to go through.

    Why can't Asda put it through immediately?
    That's a weird one

      Brightened up a bit out there now, after a showery afternoon

      Shame really, as I was going to use the rain as an excuse not to bother taking all these magazines to the recycling, but now I suppose I ought to

        There's an IT job with the British Antarctic Survey on Jobserve: "This role will involve regular periods of time in the polar regions so the successful candidate will need to be comfortable with remote working… and participate in training to include but not limited to: Advanced 1st aid, Search and rescue, Aircraft fire fighting, Breathing apparatus and Major incident response."

          sounds great! - about 30 years too late for me, though

            I would so love to have a go at that. Not a fan of the cold though. Or people in close quarters for extended periods of time.

            On second thoughts...

              managed half of a pukka steak pie for dinner.

                The Wife (tm) has left me... for a week.

                For some reason I thought the champions league final was tonight, so I got some beers out, made myself some dinner and sat down.
                Springwatch gets better after the second pint.
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    Done, and I resisted the temptation to pop into Sainsbury's while I was there as I'd only have bought junk food I don't actually need

                    The car needed filling though.

                    That's around, I dunno, six feet or a bit more gone. Once the computer magazines got really thick in the 1990s, they got pretty heavy; I'm sure they weigh more than the same footage of older magazines. Maybe I should weigh some of them before they're all gone. Or maybe I can't be bothered

                      Incidentally, the Corolla reached 129921 when I was on the way to London for the Boring Conference the other week, then 130000 and 130031 on the way back

                      And when I was doing the shopping last week it reached 130130
