Strange buzzing noise in the kitchen. One of those that it takes a minute to work out where its actually coming from and it was the storage cupboard and quickly narrowed down to the box of favoured bike cameras, head units and lights. Turned out to be the Garmin 530, presumably I had not switched it off properly after using it around 6 weeks back and it was a low battery alarm.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand breathe.
Another phone call from the Belgian bureaucrats re some paperwork the parental needs to fill in (this is a yearly occurrence), and they still want some other documentation. This has been going on now for two months and I am starting to get rather pissed off with them. Instead of sending me by post or e-mail a checklist of everything that needs doing, every couple of weeks I get a phone call: can we have this or that or something else. I swear they'll be wanting to know the colour of my underwear next!
I mean usually, this is just a fill in the form, add the necessary scans / copies and wang it back in the post job. Painless and takes half an hour.
Let's just say I wasn't in a good mood to have my lunch interrupted, and I'll admit I was rather rude to the lady on the phone. It was like oh no, not YOU again... OTOH, it worked, as I now have received an e-mail with a list of the outstanding documentation. Inevitably, it's for stuff we've never been asked for before. I mean why the f*ck couldn't they give me this information the first time I asked them for a list back in bloody October!!!
I took my frustration out on a load of innocent firewood. I've sawed up about half a trailer's worth and already split some of that too. it is very satisfying to whack logs with an axe.
Also dropped off some cards that needed going in the post. We didn't receive last year, so we didn't send. And now gotta play catch up. And I dropped off a magazine and some onion bhajis at a friend's.
So much for having a quiet day. I am *finally* sitting down with a

And it f*cking continues. What they want is something my mum *doesn't* have. Which is an online account of a particular type. Mum's never had a fricking computer, never mind anything online.
F*cking bloody bureaucrats. We've had to do this paperwork for years and have never had an issue.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.
You can get a big bag of cold lay Tarmacadam for not a lot of money. Chuck it in the corner and poke a few holes in the bag for that freshly laid road surface vibe 😎
