Good morning from a very foggy Suffolk - I hope it's not this bad up the line in Norfolk where I'm heading in just over an hour. The first coffee of the day had just been completed and, judging by the sounds, the green bins are currently being emptied rather than the dry recycling ones.

There's someone trying to sell a garden shed on the local Facebook buy and sell page. Judging by the pictures, the only good thing I can say about it is that it would be easy to take apart. Just give it a push and it would fall in bits.

Two opposite ends of the scale Keir Starmer and Fergal Sharkey!

Just an early warning, I have a fasting blood test tomorrow morning at 09:15 so I'll be grumpy until after I've had a very late breakfast..

Harumph.

When I had to do a fasting blood test I thought I'd distract myself by going for a run. I obviously hadn't given it sufficient thought as my route took me past the chip shop, Indian Restaurant and Chinese takeaway🤔 Oh, those enticing aromas drifting on the wind...

Question for those that might do surveys more than myself.

You're presented with a survey on how living with something affects your day to day life. The questions are worded to reflect the survey title, and the aims.

After the survey is closed, the scope of the survey is changed and the answers given are used to support the new survey.

If you're answering within the scope of the original aims, would your answers have been different if you were answering the revised survey?

Yes.

Are you picking up any Hedgehogs ? Ours don't seem to be coming out in the evenings now .

Yes we are getting at least one a night plus we had pictures of going in and out of the hog house with moss so making itself a nest ???

Generally overcast with blinks of sunshine so far this morning. Never seems a good idea to forecast the day's weather too early.

Nothing planned for today but might try a vain search for car insurance.
My renewal quote this year is £990. Yes nine hundred and ninety pounds. That is an increase of about 25% over last year.
The annoying thing is I have a clean record for the last 20 years when my van was thumped head on by an Army Cadet minibus who came round a blind corner on a single track road too fast to stop before hitting my van. I was not even moving at the point of impact so it was recorded on the police report as no blame on my part apart from just being there.
Everything goes well on the quote until they reach my date of birth when they do virtual cartwheels back and refuse to go any further.
It is now raining so off for coffee.

Good morning. Cool in the apartment today.

Tomorrow is a public holiday so a lot of clients have been given today off as well. Of the rest several will probably be "sick".

Quiet day for the staff...

Is that last part wishful thinking on your part. You can tidy your desk, once you've cleaned the place looking for it. Catch up on paperwork you've been putting off, presuming you haven't thrown it whilst tidying up.
And generally spruce the place up before offering your help to others.

Why would he be picking up hedgehogs in the evenings?

I bet they were lifted out of the trolley. Welcome to the world of a yellow sticker-er - happens regularly to me.

Not sure why anyone would, they were just normally priced items.

It's more fun adding an obscure item to someone's trolley when they're not looking....


So I've been told... 😙

Once walked up to (I thought) my wife's trolley & plonked something in, before realising it was the wrong trolley.
