My mate from school is replacing our bathroom. I just heard him on the phone with a prospective customer saying his next available date is late April next year! He never advertises, only works from recommendations. Isn't that brilliant! :thumbup:

Getting home. Yesterday went over to Gran Canaria, on east coast. Horrible place. Taxi took us a few miles on 3 lane motorway. Miles and miles of stationary traffic in other direction. Like M25. Everywhere busy and dirty .
No "island feeling" at at.

Glad to get home last night. This morning I had to queue behind 2 cars. Total gridlock :obscene-birdiedoublered:

I like quiet :)

Keep the noise down... :roll:


For me, it's the smug satisfaction of having said, a few months ago when asked to facilitate something, 'Yes, my team can do this, but the process is shit, archaic and far too manual. We need a system and process fit for purpose and fit for the bloody 21st century otherwise, I can say with certainty, that there will be documents sent to the wrong parties'.

And then having to report two data breaches in as many weeks.

Not sayin' 'I told ya so', but...I told ya so!

Sat at work (I know, right, I work!!!) and randomly, one of my most favourite people in resort come into the office!! :lol: First hug of the season!

I do so love living here, but at the start of each season it's just SOOOO good to see great friends that you've not seen for 6 months. Still grinning, and looking forward to heading to his cafe to inflict some more (slightly better) French on him!! :bblonde: :bblonde: :bblonde:
