    Morning all.

        Grey here now too, and the rain that wasn't forecast has arrived

        The recycling bins have been done, so I've collared one of the good ones for us again

        Just need the black bins to be done and I can get them back in, after which my responsibility for them comes to an end, assuming the landlord's recovery from hip surgery is on schedule

          Afternoon all.

          All go here today.

          "Discussion" with client co PM about patching schedules. Yes you do have to do them when we say you do.

          Window fitters back to fix snagging list from last weeks installation.

          Phone interview with prospective client B done. Seemed to go ok. Resorted to hiring contractors cos the permanent staff he hires keep getting promoted or moving to other departments. 12 hires in three years and he's still only has a team of 8. Which is what he started with.

          Lunch now. Chicken bacon and avocado salad with a couple of boiled eggs on top.

            Lunch time was taken up with sorting out the beef, mushroom and ale pie.

            No actual lunch eaten

              Black bins done (though they're dark grey really), and our three have been found littered around the side road and safely corralled in the back yard

              They didn't come for the black bins in the staging area again, but that's somebody else's problem this week

              I need to venture out to the sorting office, located somewhere beyond the outer reaches of the Kuiper Belt, to post a card for my parent's sapphire wedding anniversary on Sunday - that's sixty-five years (though some sources also attribute sapphire to forty-five, and go on to specify blue sapphire for sixty-five)

              There was going to be a family gathering, but most of us now live in Tier 2 regions so that ain't happening, or not yet

                Must be a big card if you have to take it to the sorting office and not pop it in a post box

                  PS Darn it. The sexy knickers thing didn't work this time, I'm still getting oak cabinets. Have to clear me cache maybe.

                  well at least you have wood!

                    Is HWMBO on strike or just living dangerously and letting you in the Kitchen?

                      HWMBO is in his own home. I contemplated going up to Scotland with him but in the end decided against. I'll be up there in a couple of weeks, assuming wee Jimmy Kranky hasn't done something daft in the interim.
