Decision made - cheese & onion crisps and a mug of hot chocolate.

I'll have to look that one up. our business Founder/Owner is a great guy despite a few "tragic flaws" working against him. I can help my managing my dept. but I could never, nor would I want to, be at the top. my Grandfather came to this country as a pre-teen & eventually built a family business that his children, grand children & great grand children (my children) have profited from. we are all grateful for the efforts & strength of than singular immigrant. unfortunately he had a reputation, with his children, of being cruel

Star Trek original series, "The Trouble With Tribbles" - one of the best episodes in the entire run.

I had some difficulty trying to post a photo to the photography thread but got there in the end.

Dry here

T never actually rained after all. Just became extremely dark and overcast at one point. Still very cloudy compared to recent evenings but I had a nice post-work

My morning walk apparently didn’t wear me out enough so I rode a 4.5mile ish lane and off-road walking route on the new bike. Have not ridden off-road in several years. Both satisfied and surprised that I made it up and down the hilly bits without either stopping or falling off. Got to the end of the downhill byway and a woman outside her house said that she’d never seen anyone cycling down that bit before though it was more a case of braking, balancing and steering rather than actual cycling. At least I know my brakes are throughly bedded in now. Lots of fun. I was thinking about doing it again tomorrow but the yoga mat is calling.

You're forgetting that Putin is a former KGB officer, and thinks every kind of sideways like the weasely bar steward he is. So what you have to be aware of, is that there are probably SBU / Political Officers embedded in with the troops. The threat of being shot by your own side for not following orders can be suitably... motivating...

Although there may well me a certain amount of vindictiveness involved as well, given that the Russian military were told that they would be welcomed with bread and salt.

Having said that, there was that mechanized unit that killed their colonel by running over him with his own APC after suffering horrendous losses during an ill-advised sortie.

That was a right fine fragging, that was.

I've just had a nice and two slices of hot buttered toast.

 

[DCLane]

Back home safely from Lanzarote, everything unpacked, washing done, stuff caught up on.

Poetic justice for sure.

The Russians have somehow managed to lose 8 generals and 35 colonels according to the BBC. Oooops.

You did wave to @postman as you passed overhead?

Given I'm a nervous flyer it was probably a frantic wave, just before 8pm.

Wonder if he saw you?

Is it Wednesday morning ?
Looks light grey outside

 

[Andy in Germany]

Weather looks reasonable.

10k ride to work soon. Blue skies and I'll barely touch a road.

It could be worse.
