Q: How many people do you need to change a broken window?
A: 2.
Q: How much time do you need?
A: 2 days and still nothing has been done.
That's at work. I was told that contractors arrived yesterday morning, built up scaffolding, gone, came back in the evening, dismantled the scaffolding, gone.
Exactly the same today.
Now I see why managers of one of the sites don't care about disconnected fire panel. It must be impossible to repair it.

Have a veggie curry simmering away gently in the crock pot. A good way of using up all the last few random veg before I finally go and do a grocery shop / go yellow stickering tomorrow. This will be the first big shop I've done since the Christmas hols.
About to go and have lunch - a bagel with lox and a schmear is on the menu.
Then I have to go and run a few errands in town - need a new ironing board cover, some mounting card for my archive, a few boxes of cat food (Wilkos have a good offer on at the mo), a large sack of compost and fill up the car with fuel.

Well ! I decided to cycle over to see my brother in Lacock. I didn't know that it was going to be away of events !
The wind springing up into a strong headwind wasn't appreciated as the first gust almost blew me backwards . If it had been like that when I set off I wouldn't have . But no ! It had to wait until I was 2 miles from home .
I finally got to my brother's gasping for air !
On my return journey I had to wait for the " Unspeakable after the Uneatable "! They were running amok all over the place ! I don't know why an Acado van had beached itself in some deep mud . Probably trying to avoid the horsey types who were all over the road . I managed to get past them during a lull in the mayhem and raced off .
All was quiet and peaceful until I headed home . I spotted some discarded rubbish by the side of the road and thought I would do my bit and help clear it up . Now some people can say that they often pick up the odd discarded drinks can , I think I can beat that !
A kiddies electric pedal car ! Admittedly I didn't pick it up with my bike . I cycled home and collected it with my car . Whilst I was collecting it another motorist accused me of dumping it !
. I told them that I was recycling it!

Yesterday whilst out on my bike I picked up what looked like a weighted down Sainsbury's plastic bag that I'd seen the evening before in my car, on inspection it was someones uneaten lunch, sandwiches, crisps, apple chocolate bar. I took it home and chucked it all in the bin.

I remember colleagues of mine in carpentry college who went on an exchange to a UK company being absolutely astounded at how unproductive their host company was.

No, in the office.

Only a semi-productive afternoon in town. Savers were out of stock on the things I wanted (Beconase and Fisherman's Friends sugar free mints) and in Wilkos, the tins of gourmet were no longer on offer. I knew I should have bought some on Tuesday... Aaaargh.
On the flip side, I scored a load of basmati rice on YS in Tesco at 30p a packet, plus a large tin of shortbread fingers for 33p because the tin was dented.
