I blinked and it was lunchtime, how the hell does that happen?!?!?
On that basis, if you blink another nine (9) times it will be Friday evening!

It feels that easy, but the required work in the period doesn’t get done!

Currently stood outside my dad's flat waiting for someone to come and get his mobility scooter, I only put it on Facebook marketplace yesterday, I've had 7 offers for it already, if the bloke who's supposed to be coming doesn't turn up I have 4 others waiting.

I need a wee, but the toilet's all the way over there, and I'm over here, and it seems like an awful lot of bother.

Maybe I can just hold on and wait until I'm on my way out of the office in half an hour when I'll have to get up anyway.

It rarely works that way, I always end up having to go!!!

Well, the man who bought dad's mobility scooter came all the way from Oxford for it, paid cash, took it away in his van!!

When I was a contractor then I'd open up a website, whose location I've forgotten. Type in my hourly rate and press go.

Upon returning from dropping the kids off at the pool it would tell me how much I'd earned.

Quiet day at the museum. Bits of the Beverley have started to arrive and we have laid the concrete and tarmac base ready to rebuild the aircraft when it arrives in pieces.

Most excellent, Hammo.
It's heartening to hear that the old girl will be taken good care of.
How is Spiny Norman these days?
I saw some of the dedicated team grafting away on the old crew bus on Bangers & Cash. Twice. thumbup


IOTN, After surviving my cardiac rehab workout session today, I became diverted from my intended further investigations into the recalcitrant C-Ma_ and eventually digressed into a bit of research.
Possibly subliminally influenced by Bobbers' defection from the Ford brand to Bayerische Motoren Werke products, I have launched myself into a concerted online research programme investigating their F20/ B47 offering as a possible C-Ma_ replacement.

The initial findings are showing some promise:
Food for thought... scratchchin
If it happens, I must remember to get a new TT Residents' Parking Permit. Are there any still available?

Later on we had a surprise after-school visit by Robbopoppet, Big George and their Mum, Daughter #2.

George was telling me all about his first hat-trick that he scored in his match on Sunday. His mum showed me a video of one of his goals: a fearless tackle, superb ball control and agility, a skilful strike and into the back of the net it went. YAY!!!
However, his celebratory knee slide could do with a bit of improvement! rofl

How are the batlets doing, _404?

Sounds like the project going live was not an unmitigated disaster, SM.
Well done to all who helped with the successful launch. clapbow ( I do hope I'm not being premature. )

Back in the day when I was contracting, there were no such websites available:
