Hope you feel better soon and that you don't feel too upset for missing the run on Sunday.
I so hate dealing with officialdom
Last week
Company payroll woman: We can't reclaim the emergency tax you paid. You need to contact the revenue office.
Revenue Office (after waiting on the phone for 30 minutes): Oh you need your employer to do that for you. We can't help you directly.
Company payroll woman: We can't do it. Perhaps fill out one of these tax reclaim forms and post it to them.
This week
Call from Revenue office: Why did you send that form and where did you get it? That form has been obsolete since 2003! Your employer needs to contact us directly and it will then be added to your pay cheque
Company payroll woman: I told you before you need to contact the revenue office. It's nothing to do with me
Me (thinking): Why don't you try doing your job you lazy thing? (polite version)
It's my money! PLEASE ****ING GIVE IT TO ME
You need the revenue office to send it to you in writing for your company payroll person to read.

My son has decided to get up tomorrow, so we will do the short loop - I don't want him hypo half way round the 25km loop. We will do two loops of the 8km, which gives you the best descents.

Is that the mature gouda? I can highly recommend the gorgonzola dolce.
Their parmesan is nice too, as is the crefee cream cheese with garlic. If you can get it, the crefee cream cheese with horseradish is a winner. 
If you have the patience to sort the wheat from the chaff, Lidl packs a few foodie gems.
And not just the cheese...Their nut praline filled mini easter eggs are lush, as are the liqueur-filled ones. And the marzipan-praline log...

Blimey! I found playing his LPs at 45rpm made me feel better.

Are those spikes on the roof to prevent pigeons from landing on them?

Gwen has been acting strangely these past few days. I caught her yelling her head off at some strange cat she had seen in the mirror, the number of times she had seen the same cat before without taking any notice. A few minutes my wife just caught her doing a similar thing but wondering where we were, she was in the wrong bedroom!
They are for impaling oiks.
Sunny in the East today, lets hope it stays that way.
I am so looking forward to putting myself at the mercy of @User and letting him do as he wishes with me.

Spent yesterday morning sowing wild flower seeds at the golf club. A little rain would be nice!
