24th February X

XLast day off for a wee while and it’s a busy one. Laundrette day, change pedals day, bake custard pie, make mince and potato pie, give the cat her flea and worming treatment. Hoover and clean the oven and kitchen.

So Laundrette had a dryer hog, it started pissing down as I left. Cat avoided the pills. But on the plus side the custard pie seems to have worked. Mince and potato pie is a work in progress.

Feeling really shit, hit the booze to deal with it, not certain that that’s a good idea. That being said I just continue.

VSaturday, little light shopping, drink with C at the Tom & Gerry which seems populated by geriatric one armed bandit raiders with loud voices.

Home and sort the cat litter and wash up.  Simple food tonight in terms of Haloumi burgers and sweet potato fries.  Making some fruit scones too.

RAnother late, swift ale at the Swan & Railway on the way home.  Delight at finding Doctor Morton’s Duck Baffler, seemed entirely appropriate.

Bit of a session on the new bonus scheme, people are getting a bit uptight about it.  Had nothing from it yet but then my value hasn’t been wonderful.  But believe we are getting there.  Think one of the issues is that it is very difficult to calculate value beyond the basics.
