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.

When I used to do chalet work here, the companies used to buy that kind of sausage in bulk so we could do an "English" breakfast!!

Over the years, more than a couple of chalet managers were heard to say "the normal sausages are basically vegetarian due to the tiny amount of actual meat in them" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fixed office software issue on Church PC and then went to a funeral. Fetched wife in torrential rain to save her from taking the bus. Coffee and chocolate when I got her home. Now to start writing sermons for next weeks service and the week after that.

Removed a patch of grass about 3mtr wide and a mtr deep, then weed mat and blue slate spread over. Looks a lot better, then built a wooden planter ready to go on the other bit of grass that’s coming up when it stops raining!!

Went on a bit of a mercy mission last night, daughter 1 was complaining that her brand new washing machine wasn’t draining and she’d nigh on flooded the kitchen having to use the pump bypass hose to drain it.

Both her boyfriend and his dad* had already taken a look and couldn’t work out what was going on so financial adviser dad was called in.

Imagine the smug look on my face when I retrieved a stop end / blanking plug from inside the main drain hose and declared job done in 5 mins :D I doubt she’s stopped ribbing them about it yet.


* both are mechanical engineers in a factory. ;)

At Tesco bright and early to get StepMothers vittles and then off to Romford to deliver them. As it was sunny I dropped the roof on the way home and played The Jams greatest hits rather loudly. Nice start to the day!

Bloody hungry now but can't eat until 1 o'clock as on 16/8 fasting. Rarely eat until lunchtime, but as soon as you're told you can't, you want to. Rebel without a cause me! :mrgreen:

Added a user defined field to the SAP B1 Item Master data and made it appear in the UI.

Which has pleased me greatly as it's really simple, but up until 20 mins ago I had no idea how to do it.

Turned things off at work for people to dig ballast and bash rails, then turned things back on again. Something turned itself off so I turned it back on again. The early turn arrived and I went home.
Discovered the Amtico floor colour/pattern we want doesn't come in barn wood finish which is boring so we'll have to pick another floor colour. It took us 3 months to find the one "we" like. 🙁
Slept, going to walk dogs after a coffee and then off to work for a 12hr shift and interview preparation if it's quiet.
