Church after dropping wife off to walk the hound. Spoke with and supported a parishioner who has found out they may have lost their job tomorrow, redundancies sweeping her industry sector (Metro/Evening Standard Newspaper). Then sorted IT for the service, building a PC with new SSD drive, i7 with 16GB DDR4 RAM, so fairly speedy. Went to visit someone after the service, got them home yesterday after their hip operation last Monday. He is moving okay and able to get up and down the stairs. Glad to see he is much more relaxed back at home again.
Lunch at home, quick bite to eat and working on assignment that is due in 8 days. Only 1200 words to write and I'm happy with the shape and structure of the work. Nice change to not be stressing about it!
Going to be heading out in 15 minutes for the next service and then staying out until around 8.30pm or so with evening Holy Communion etc..
A fruitful day and managed to help some people with vitals things, so happy!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Drove to Geneva this morning with passengers, no collection so drover back empty. Had a short break and went to pick up the next lot to go to Geneva, only they weren't there. So, 7 hour day instead of 12
Just chilling now, well I was until the wifi decided to 'throw' the programme from the ipad to the tv in short chunks instead of the whole programme smoothly Sometimes I do hate technology!! LOL
I did have a moment today. Going along a slip road onto to join a motorway in Switzerland, another minibus behind me that really really wanted to be ahead (always fun to be tailgated by a loony when in a work vehicle!). As we got to about halfway along, he pulled out to the motorway, no worries, figured he'd either pull to the outside lane or keep back to let me through. Nope. As I ran out of slip road, the fukker just kept driving, blocking my exit to the motorway and oblivious to the fact that I was gonna run out of road
I was NOT impressed. But, I did watch him set off a speed camera back in France! Shame he didn't do it in Switzerland really!
Not that I can be smug - I set one off this morning (I think it was me and not the guy going the other way!). Seriously annoying as I know the damn camera is there, but it's on a road that is long and straight (ish) no particular dangers and was changed from 90kph to 80kph back along. And 80kph really does just feel so damn slowwwwww. Hey ho - maybe the powers that be will actually process my request for a french driving licence is they want to put a point on it!! LOL

A couple of hundred miles -cold and damp ones. I am not bike fit and I can hardly lift my legs. Had a nice pub lunch at The Sun Inn, Dunsfold and a very good day all round. I think all pub menus should come with reading glasses - one guy got his out and half the table kept borrowing them.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Ordered 13x oak pre finished, internal doors from Howdens, only took four calls for them to get it right... After my sister (whose account I'm using) told me not to order them online as they always fuck it up.
Just need to pick some ironwork and get the chippy booked, be fucked if I'm going to try hanging them when. 'wood goon' can do a better job for £40 a door.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Done my back in. In extreme pain when I move, so I’m not!! Ibuprofen for dinner I think. Fitted a motor mover to the caravan and felt something when I picked up my toolbox, so probably should have stopped but I didn’t, so self inflicted.

Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

Google 'Yoga Cat and Cow'. It's good for the back.
That and hot and cold treatment. Works for me and I've got the sort of back that Quasimodo would wince at.
