Almost sideswiped by 2 trucks this morning as they were drifting in and out of their lanes. F*ckers!

FRACK ME!
What am I doing up at this time. It's still dark.
Bloomberg TV is running, but I haven't put the coffee on or had a dump yet.
I think that will be the order I do them.

Blog, Bloomberg, and then coffee was the order today after getting up at 7:35.

Listened to the World Service/R4 until it was time to get up.
In fact I could at one time get 3 versions of World Service, all subtly different:
- via cable
- via satellite
- via internet
The one I didn't like was the cable version. Yes, that was the source which fed my radio alarm.

Up early this morning (6:55) because I had an idea about a new spreadsheet/report I'm working on.
Too early really because it was still a little bit dark, due to the clouds, and I have a policy of not getting up in the dark.
Today's order was Bloomberg, dump, and then coffee.

I didn't bloat out yesterday, so I didn't have a mega dump like yesterday.
However, I made the coffee way too strong. It was at the end of the packet so I poured the whole lot in. I looked and it was obvious that it was way too much so I used a desert spoon to take a bit out again. Having tasted the first cup, I know I should have taken more out. When it's finished brewing, I'll have to put some extra water in the jug to dilute it a bit.
Get a real coffee machine like the other guy said!

Bastard bin men woke me up before 6:30 am this morning. I assume it was because they were ahead of their schedule the just waited there for ages with the engine running pumping out fumes.
I was having some strange dream about duty free, but I was some how up to mischief. I have no idea what I was doing down on an underground railway platform either.
Got up, had a pee and went back to bed. I didn't get up until 7:55.
Bloomberg TV on, start the coffee, had a dump. It's nice to be regular.

In all other respects I am living in the best place in the region so I am going to live with it.

They lied.

The trains start at 5:30 in the morning. The first one doesn't wake me. The third one does.

I got up at 7, had a shower then a cup of coffee and a bowl of cornflakes, went to the station, bought a cappuccino, a croissant and a newspaper and sat down for a dump in the train, bowel actions assisted by the bumping of the carriage.

Oh heck - my eating and drinking problems look like they are getting worse again.

Got up at the unearthly hour of 7:15 since it was time to drop missus off to her work. Having brekkie and tea and waiting for the 'dump' sensations to arrive.
