Been a good day so far

Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Just watched a cracking game of rugby La Rochelle v Leinster Won’t give the result just in case people have recorded the game later.

when the moon was a ghostly galleon,
tossed upon cloudy seas,
a highwayman came riding, riding
a highwayman came riding up to the old inn door...

"At Night In Rifling Search Again,
He Fiercely Sallied From His Den,
And Like Some Savage Beast Unbound
Took What He Could The Country Round.
Till With Rich Booty Loaded Well,
He Bore The Plunder To His Cell;
And There Amidst The Rocky Maze,
He Spent The Remnant Of His Days."

He's not, newspaper's really do exist.

I picked up a paper this morning once I'd remembered there was no internet or phone signal in the underground. It was surprisingly difficult getting the pages to turn one at a time. In pre-covid days, I'd have licked my fingers to get a better grip of the pages.

Just tea and toast for me this evening as I feel a bit fragile. The girls shared one of those little cans of Gourmet.

And I got sniped in an auction for an Onyx model of one of Derek Warwick's Touring Cars.

They do pop up on a regular basis, but the majority of sellers have a very inflated opinion of what they're actually worth. This was one of the rare auctions with a realistic start price.

It's good to know that many warehouses in Kent now offer "reasonable" wages for a job as forklift driver. Reasonable = minimum. And common benefits are "free parking and paid overtime".

As if any random person can just come in and drive a forklift.

I do get emails from various recruitment agencies offering forklift jobs but my current job (which isn't forklift driving) got more advantages than disadvantages. But it's good to know what's going on in the job market.

That doesn’t look very handy for nipping to the supermarket!

The butler will have to follow behind in the Voisin with the shopping.
