Some terrible showers in the afternoon but thankfully dry for my walk home from work. Quite windy though.

I don't have any plans for this evening at the moment. I should tidy up but will probably just read a bit.

There's potentially a shortage of Guinness.

Any "odd" questions?

Not really, mostly about my work, education and our experiences in employment, with government offices, in public et c.

One was interesting, looking at my outlook on life and how I generally react to difficult situations, I suspect they cross-reference that with my income or education.

That was a VERY commute home. Localised flooding through which I needed to ride.

Evening hot chocolate went down well
And time to relax finally

They did ask to access my employment data: past, present and future, which I declined; past and present is fine, but future sounds like a blank check to keep an eye on me. I'm sure it isn't, because Germany has some of the strictest data protection laws in the world, but still...

Finishing your first sip in the middle of the "G" on the glass!
No wonder there's a shortage.

Maybe they know what jobs, and what you'll be earning in the years to come.

Just looked at the weekend weather forecast 😭☔🌬️

Supper consisted of curried parsnip, apple & potato soup, followed by scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, steamed green beans and a very lovely toasted sub roll.

Off you pop out. You'll enjoy it just like I did

And I needed to change the bottom bracket on my Merida Cyclo-Cross commuter bike anyway. Or at least I probably do now

No delays today which was unfortunate as I met an ex-work colleague on platform 4 at Ipswich station - he's the one everybody used to try to avoid as the most boring person going and it hasn't changed in his retirement either, so I was stuck with him for half an hour.

Found my first Ch****mas card on my doormat when I got home which was my sister taking the pi55 so ended up swapping a few messages with her before going out on the bike to get my legs moving again after 16+ hours of sitting in trains over the past 4 days. Stragely warm and still damp which turned into full rain as darkness fell. Managed to get 25 miles in and feel much better for it.

I've got a hankering for a peppered steak slice.

 

[Reynard]

It is blowing a bit of a hoolie. How do I know? My internet has been doing the hokey cokey all evening.

Mustn't forget to put a shoe by the front door with a carrot and an apple for St Nicholas' horse.

Fire banked for the night, and I'm in bed with both varieties of hot water bottle.
