My new MacMini has left Dubai. Assuming it's on the UPS flight to Cologne that took off twenty-odd minutes ago, it's just passing Qatar at 30,050 feet with a ground speed of 503 knots

I seem to have picked up a sniffle.

Today's interview was ok. Got through to the next round, where I have to do a presentation about stuff. This is for a FTC role that will require me to be in Crawley 2-3 days a week. However, they have booked the second interview for next week, when I'll be in Seattle.

Oh dear. Crawley ain't far from me. Watch out for a zombie.

Lunch has been the rest of the assorted charcuterie in the rest of the bread

I went and got my jab. Hope it doesn't make me feel too bad tomorrow - I need to go shopping for bread

And yes, **** has long been censored. I could post the full censored word list, but it'd be censored so there's really no point

[mudskipper]

Exactly!

Edit2 - maybe we never could and I just got swearier in my dotage

EXCELLENT! Swearing is good for you. Think swearing is my main language, not English anymore.

Nice lady from local history group just been round to borrow my laminator to laminate the posters for the next meeting. We put some in the wrong way round and they came out a bit wrinkly. Probably appropriate for a group made up almost entirely of old farts.

PS Improvement on morning, dentist and shopping. Can anything be more boring than that?

What is it with CVs for crappy jobs. Saw a temp job 2 mornings a week till Jan to go to local shops and sort out their greetings cards. Figured I might as well apply cos I'm driving myself mad. "Upload CV" - I mean there's **** all on my CV that's relevant, and what exactly do they expect to see. Can you drive? yes, can you stick cards on a rack? yes. Honestly what are you supposed to put on a CV? Anyway - has made me decide not to bother - I don't need £50 a week that much!


Edit - Oh and we can't say **** now??? wtf?

And there was me getting annoyed that I have to go to a pharmacy that's 0.6 miles away rather than one of the ones that are 0.3 miles away

Curiously enough it was amazingly convenient: X7 up to the pharmacy, waited in queue, jabbed, back out to the bus stop & back down on the same bus. I was almost impressed.

Last year's venture involved a trip to the Avon Centre in what remains of Port Talbot, being a mere 7.3 miles, but the 87 took just as long to get there & the wait for the bus to come back was longer.

[NickFitz]

What? You don't have to travel 14 miles to the other end of the valley to get jabbed? Who'd have thunk?

Morning denizens

Grey start again and very damp, though it's unclear whether there's been rain or it's just an extremely heavy dew. Once again it's not too cold for the season of the year, being 9°C rising to 13°. The barometers are up a touch more at 1019/1027mB

Thursday! Just got to get through today and my weekend starts, and then there's only five more weeks to get through before I finish for Christmas!

[WTFH]

Morning all

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Thursday as confirmed by the recycling engineers travelling along the road singing their happy songs.

Dry.

Grey.

Gloomy.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 16.1 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

1024 mBar, in Hg, Torr, psi, (down a tad from last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).


Meanwhile on the 28th of November 2019 BR14 was back on the bench after 8 days, the client being unable to support remote working, whereas NF was noting that a couple of s wandered up to the GP's gate, discovered they were shut on Thursday afternoons, then wandered off again, disappointed. (This has twice attended the dentist surgery to change appointments only to find it like the Marie Celeste with one young lady taking any messages. She locks herself in which seems sensible to me).

Got a text message telling me I could book a Covid jab.

Anyway, all sorted now - getting it done at a nearby pharmacy tomorrow lunchtime

I seem to have picked up a sniffle.

Lot of it about. If it's anything like whatever I've got, it isn't too bad and doesn't last too long. Fingers crossed!

Tea tonight was chicken madras with rice and naan

I put a bit too much water in the rice machine. "Don't suppose it'll make much difference," I thought. I was wrong, though, so the rice wasn't right. I'll get the hang of it though

This was accompanied by E3 of A House Through Time

And finally, I finished Casino so now I can watch the film

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all
