Telly tonight started with the latest episode of Surgeons. Interesting one, as it was about emergency surgery for people rushed in with major traumatic injuries

And then a couple more episodes of Air Crash Investigation, in which one plane had to ditch in the Med because the wrong fuel gauge had been fitted, and another in Indonesia plummeted nose first into the sea because the crew got confused when part of the navigation system started behaving oddly

Supposed to be foggy again out, but it isn't as bad as the last couple of nights

Goodnight all

We've just bought a TV after not having one for about 18 months. No live channels yet (need Virgin to sort it out) but we do at least have iPlayer, Netflix and the like.

The current watching is the latest season of Ambulance and catching up on The Crown.

Morning all, from the depths of permie land....

Grey and murky here. Mrs CB is off the Kent with the Boblets for three days to see her parents. We rearranged plans from after Christmas, just in case DOOOOOOM happens.

So here I am again. Over a year a permie land and tbh not currently missing contracting. The Ltd is still there just in case but not currently feeling the pull to go back.

How are you all doing?

All good thanks

You missed the CUK Xmas do a week last Friday. We managed to avoid cross-infecting each other with Omicron

You'll have to catch up on Trucking Hell (Paramount/My5) and The Repair Shop (BBC iPlayer)

The landlord has fitted a Yale lock to the back yard gate to keep the junkies and pros at bay

As he says, if they kick it in, they kick it in. But it might act as a deterrent

Morning all

I'm back!

Had you gone somewhere?

All good here, thanking you kindly.

As NF said, the grand CUK Xmas do was a covid-free affair - more by luck than judgement, most likely.

Hair dressed. Boots order collected. No LFTs to be found in the four local pharmacies I went to.

I have to venture into the wilderness that is West Kensington tomorrow for my 5G booster so will see if that pharmacy, or others close to it, have any in stock.

Had you gone somewhere?

Yes, I spent half of yesterday on a delayed flight (because LHR have no staff that can move planes around in the fog), then when we got back to Heathrow there were no gates available, so 45 mins sat in the plane waiting for a gate. Finally a 2 hour wait for luggage because LHR has no drivers available to get bags from planes.

...oh, and a bit of skiing in Italy.

I saw your discussion with Heathrow on Twitter last night. They seemed to be not very helpful
