Go on then do tell and let's see if anyone else can join you in oblivion.

In Edinburgh

The Royal Mile has been lit up by an explosion as filming for the latest Avengers movie reaches Edinburgh.
The six-week filming schedule for the Avengers: Infinity War movie is estimated to be worth £10m for the city.

In Galloway, some bloke called Gerald Butler. No relation to Gethin or Keith I understand.

Depends. How close did you need it?

Within five miles

Close enough for Tescos you mean?

Sadly I balance mine to the penny, not the odd 180 million that Tesco do

I'm with you on that happy place called oblivion.

Morning, it is glorious if a little chilly today.

I am hoping that I will be out of the office by 10 this evening. Thanks to the customer service I am doing my month end has somewhat fallen by the wayside. Does anyone fancy doing my bank reconciliations for me?

Sure, for old times sake....

I have ordered a new bottom bracket for my Cannondale Delta V 1000. I think it will be soon quite ready to ride, as soon as the trails dry out. In my town of 50,000, 6 thousand and small change voted for mayor, and the race so far has been decided by 6 votes. In a conservative part of the state, township board and other offices were pretty much swept by Democrats.
Light at the end of the tunnel?

We are praying for you along with the rest of mankind.

Is Bob the cleaner?

Bob is a cat.

Good: no punctures in the first 3 months of this year.
Bad: 2 happened, front and back, presumably in the same patch of broken glass that I didn't see at all.
Good: the car was only 10 yards away. And I've been meaning to fit the new 25c tyres to replace the 23c ones anyway.
Bad: I have dropped my keys 3 times today
Good: I managed to avoid dropping them down a gutter drain.

All in all, a mixed blessings kind of day.

I quite like doing bank recs

I find them quite tedious and mind-numbing, generally because when I do them, it's because the client custard* hasn't bothered. So I have to do a whole year, with lots of unrecorded and unmatched transactions because they've only recorded the transactions with VAT. Oh joy!

* a portmanteau of 'customer' and another word.

We in Banbury today, shopping

Last week I had to buy a suit, turns out I am a 28.5" leg and not the lofty 29" I thought I was

 

[Salty seadog]

To stay awake I've had three BIG cups of tea, an eclair, two pieces of toast and four McVities clubs, and a scone

Going for the high score....

I saw a goldcrest in the garden this morning while sitting in my favourite hidey spot in the crook of my big bramley apple tree.

And once the commuter-o-clock traffic has mostly gone, I'm off to March to pick up some bits from Lidl.

Tiny and cute little things, aren't they? I've only seen a pair once during that very long winter 3 or 4 years ago. They were feeding on a bush's berries. I think Deptford's the furthest they'd ever had to go to find food that winter.
