Been sitting here regretting all the moving of stuff I did yesterday (shoulder, neck & head hurts :( )

But also peeved at my lack of DIY knowledge. Got bolts that I've never seen that I don't know if I should use!!! Hey ho!

Going down the valley to physio in a bit, then back to load the bike Luckily some friends have offered to help with that as I wouldn't be able to today (well, without a working engine it's questionable that I could do it at all!!)

That's the life for me. Once we move we'll be buying....

I actually had to go in to work today, major shock to the system! Just on the train heading home now....

Today I should have had a chilled day to recover from doing more miles in 2 days than I have in well over a year!!! (Possibly not since I last went to the UK from here!)

But, took the van down to the valley to clean and give back, picked up a couple of things from the shop I needed, dropped some paperwork at the accountant, stopped at a friend's on the way home to give her a bank card someone had asked me to pass on. Eventually home after a couple of phone calls in the sun

1st May means that the heating goes off - first day back here since then and yup - it's cold! :roll:

Now waiting for my french lesson to start - thought it was half an hour as usual, but no, today is the first 1 hour lesson I've booked!!! Oops!! Very tired to be having an hour of French lesson 121!! :lol:


Tomorrow I'm out early to go to see the surgeon - I need sleeeeep!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Abandoned further work in the garden due to rain forecast so continued stripping wallpaper in the spare bedroom, when I say wallpaper, it was the thickest lining paper I’ve seen with goodness knows what paint over it as it was pretty much impervious. A porcupine roller and a load of wallpaper stripper solution and a lot of patience finally got us back to bare plaster.

I then took the hound out in the pissing down rain, he’s pretty much waterproof, I got soaked :cry:

Stopped for a hot choc and a pain au raisin en route to hospital.

Check up with shoulder surgeon today. Luckily it’s sunny at the mo so could be a nice a drive (well, back - motorway on the way there, scenic route home!)

Can’t wait for the cafes/bars to be able to serve people on the terraces. The place I’ve stopped has a load of tables outside - perfect for a coffee stop when it’s sunny. But we still can’t use them :( Hopefully soon :think:

it's 3:35 am here, yawn.

The boss emailed last week and asked if someone could help a bloke in Sydney doing an upgrade on a server... Sadly he only emailed me and one of the other lads in the team.. So i knew it was either me or him. He's got more responsibilities than me having 3 smaller kids.. so i'm doing it...

it's early !!!!

Night shift here, I’ve turned a lot of equipment off so people can work and now they’re finished I’m turning it back on again.

Got to work a bit early in anticipation of a big job coming in. I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. We had to give assurances it'd be finished and the material returned by COB today. They'd better not get the hump if its not done today... :crazy:

I've made filling for spring rolls and then cheese on toast.

When anyone tells you to 'just use Comte cheese instead of cheddar', unfriend them - they know nothing about cheese!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Off to physio in a bit then home to create spring rolls ready to cook after the French lesson!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Most days I go for 5 mile walk on sea front then have a nice full English.

They usually add an individually wrapped biscuit by the coffee :)

No biscuit today :(

Just been to pay and they said "sorry we've no biscuits for the dog today "

Oops.

But they did cook him his own sausage instead

Did you make the dog say "Walls"

Whilst that may be sausage shaped and may well be lovely to the dog... That's REALLY not a sausage.... i can't even imagine what percentage of meat is in that.
