    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.

    Listened to the World Service/R4 until it was time to get up.

    I used to do that until I got fed up with the version of World Service I was getting.

    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.
    Hahaa packet "instant" coffee you pauper you

    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.

    Goods trains in the middle of the night aren't too good either.

    But I did grow up near to a railway line and I know that you don't hear them any more once you are used to the noise.

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

    Erm, do you not feel a bit dumb now? Isn't this rather like believing the agent when he says 'I'm barely covering my costs at that rate, but it's so important that YOU get this job!'

    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.

    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.
