I’m working there on Thursday, National Highways stand. Me and one of the other managers use it as an excuse to go most years, look at bikes we can’t afford, buy cheap gear if there’s anything worth having, and sit in Spoons for lunch while we text out table number to various senior managers to see ...

Cleaned up the very small amount of mess left by having a heat pump installed, filled and painted around some rad pipe work, then went shopping on the bike along with a trip to Maccys. Then spent a chunk of the day understanding and changing the schedule for the heat pump to work with my Cosy Octopu...

Had an Octopus team here for 4 days installing the heat pump etc. lovely to wake up in a warm house again!! Shopping this morning, so cheese batch time now. After that, nowt!! Bit of a theme here, might get a ride on the bike at some point to keep the battery up, back at work on Tuesday. That is all...

Sitting in the sunshine trying to warm up!!! It was 11 degrees in my apartment this morning. I had decided last night not to sleep with the window open but forgot to turn on the (miniature) radiator :roll: So I’ve been out a couple of times to get stuff and walk to warm up. Now the suns over the mo...

Scaffolders. Due here this morning at 0830 to put up the smallest bit of scaffold so that Octopus don’t have to spend 20 minutes working off a ladder at head height. Unsurprisingly it’s now 1345 and still no scaffolders. No one at Octopus can help, as the team dealing are on holiday!! What, all of t...

"next time on.... " If i'm watching the fucking program at the end of it, WTF makes you think i need to know half the twatting plot of the next episode before you get to it... Just let me watch the fucking thing. Then you're watching a prog which has an ad break in it, and advertises the ...

Had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm scan. Seems as I’m now old Northamptonshire NHS do this as a one off to see if I’ve got one building! Nice chat with the girls doing it as I was in uniform, radio on, mobile rang twice while I was there and they mentioned stress of your job doesn’t help!! I ❤️ the NH...

Working all weekend on earlies so up at stupid o clock, about 0440 unless I snooze the alarm! New “smart” meter in on Monday to work with the air source heating going in the following week. Lates Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, then 12 days off for the heating install and other stuff. Somewhere in ...

Makes you wonder what goes on behind that double fence the neighbours erected, just saying.

Have a good one @weeksy
Nights from tomorrow, which means an extra hour on duty due to the clocks going somewhere!!
Sunday same with no extra hour
Monday, same.
Then 3 days off.
Have fun, whatever or whoever you’re doing.

Best time of the year to go away, no kids, very few other vans on a lot of sites, nice and quiet, very relaxing. Enjoy mate.

Stopped at Watford Gap services. What a depressing, joyless place. I almost felt I needed to apologise to my piss for leaving it there. Ha, nice aint it😂😂 Should of said you were coming, I would have given you the guided tour of the rat infestation out the back, near the kitchens, shown you the “sp...

The Tesla I’ve had at work on trial, which I’m pleased to say I’ve now unloaded to another office as it’s not great build quality and it kept breaking, cost £15.40 to charge for an extra 100 miles and took 45 mins on a supercharger. To me, that doesn’t seem great but I’ve very little experience of c...

Just won £100 credit on RevComps. Result

yesterdays double jabs are kicking my arse this morning. I had the same bad reactions last week after I had mine, first time it’s really affected me. Worrying! Me, weekend off work so off to the F’s for wine and relaxing before home Sunday so Ocado can deliver then back on my head on Monday. Might ...

Covid and flu jab this pm, then chilling as the F is here until Sunday. Nice beef stew for later. Saturday is long walk along the cut, beer on the way back. Sunday is nothing, just relaxing. Back at work Tuesday, goody goody😩. The kids thing, both mine are 30 miles away and dont visit me, I go to th...

Did it get sorted mate??
