One that's dried out a bit and got coated in sugar?

Never a truer word spoken in jest, springs to mind there, TD.

It is persisting down here and I have to go pick my bike up from her service. I am not looking forward to the damp ride home

 

[mybike]

And here.

Still

Yep, several 'Soggy moggies' here too apart from Cinders, she took one look outside and decided kipping on a cushion on the settee was today's plan.

Had an interesting morning at work. They added half a route onto my usual route because one of the other drivers had crashed his van. So got to earn some extra ££. Also got a bit of a surprise when I went back to the office, the boss man wanted to see me. I thought I was about to get the sack. Nope, They want me to come off of the temporary contract and put me on a 12 month rolling contract and they want me on long distance work instead of locals. Told him I would think about it and let him know in the morning.

Screw you recipe...

I'm going to use skimmed milk, not semi-skimmed, so in your face pal.

I've had a good swimming lesson this morning, we're now down the club. Coventry's a tad damp this morning.

Did you not thouroughly dry yourself before you went out?

Is this good news?

Is this good news?

I'm not really sure. I took the job because I thought it would only be a temporary contract and because it starts early and finishes before noon usually. Which meant that I could do my S.I.A training next month, which has been booked. Getting the S.I.A licence is the last step into becoming a security dog handler which is what I wanted to do all along, however, it's not guaranteed work all of the time and can get a bit dry at certain times of the year. Whereas with the company I'm currently working for is steadily growing and has guaranteed work year round with good working conditions, good pay and I do enjoy the driving. It's one of those I need to think about on a long bike ride, keep going for the dream job VS sticking with the company I'm with now and just having a OK but stable job.

This is what was in my parcel that arrived today.

I really fancy sausages for dinner.

Instead of which, I have pork stir fry.

There is supposed to be a steam train going up towards London at 17: 19 here, it is still raining and I'm not sure if I will pop out to see it. The steam engine could be Tornado or Lord Dowding.

Did you not thouroughly dry yourself before you went out?

Yes, but I shouldn't have bothered, I was like a drowned rat by the time I'd walked across the car park. When I came out of the leisure centre there was a Mum with a small lad about three years old, he'd got bright red wellies on and was having a wonderful time jumping in all the puddles.

 

[Illaveago]

It was Tornado , it's just gone up, I watched it from the comfort of my bedroom.
