Off to my first ever footy match (at the tender age of 53). My work colleagues are dragging me along to Brighton United v Manchester Rovers (or something). Apparently we have to meet at a pub first to “have a few” before the match.
I'll be watching that later. Maybe in the pub, depending on how today goes
Having a dish of tea after some exertions in the shed of shite. I've built a box for the spare wind turbine blades, sharpened an axe, tidied a bit and packed some Ebay items.
Next on the list is contributing to Weeksy's retirement fund.
Up early to finish off loading the caravan for couple of nights away. I say loading, the girlfriend obviously thinks we are away for a month or two, I’ve got my other best pants, a sock and a clean t shirt.

Getting moaned at by the wife as I put salmon skin in the airfryer to make "salmon crisps" and I've stunk the house out!
You should have used the iron. Crank it up and press it firmly onto the salmon skin, sort of like they do in some Japanese restaurants . You'll need a metal plate to put on the ironing board of course. Do that, you'll be back in the good books no worries.
PS How were the crisps?
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.

Horrible actually. They sort of blew around in the airfryer and were just soggy on some bits and burnt on others. I'll stick to the grill from now on!
Sitting on a sofa like a total zombie after 5hrs kip, last nights commissioning went pear shaped due to the contractors software and project people not realising that the issues we had a month ago at one site with a certain configuration would probably occur at another site with the same configuration. So after getting all the ducks in a row, having to liaise with two railway control rooms and two UKPN control rooms to coordinate our HV switching it was all for naught and the guys onsite had to revert/roll back all the wiring to how it was originally configured and we try again another night once the software people pull their finger out of their arse.
On a + we didn't black out Sarf London so that's a win.

Reading a wiring diagram to find the likely cause of an indicator going tits up before pulling parts off the bike
Hand in your man card. Only RTFM after hours of cursing and swearing
Having a mug of tea after emptying the van of treasures from the tip. A mostly working 250mm table saw, the NVR on off switch doesn't latch, is the main attraction.

Just killin' time, I don't have enough time to take it apart today, and at £170 a pair I can assure you I'm already swearing inside at least.
But that's worst case as I doubt the LED's will have released the magic smoke, probs just a wire not able to cope and busted
