Feeling good after riding home from work in the sun the long way. Followed by a cup of tea and a nice hot shower. And then chilling in my lovely bed. It's great this.

I'm wondering how a wildfire can start in th Scottish hills in this weather..

We went over to Nevis Range yesterday and the ground is incredibly dry.  Apparently Fort Bill hasn't had significant precipitation for weeks.  And I managed to get sunburnt yesterday.... no OK, I can as ourfriendMartin said, get sunburnt by a low energy lightbulb.  But it was positively warm....

Nearly summer.  Fab, innit?

Being disturbed at the Philpott fire specials being on practically every channel on 'cooncil telly' this evening.

No chance to load up with several 100 kilos of lovely Belgian beer on the Eurostar  ;)

Waiting to be seen in A+E. And feeling silly and vulnerable in my uniform with all the bleeders and limpers.

just finished checking then printing a tree load of paperwork in order that I can help an ageing couple submit their health and welfare lpa applications this morning.

I had to wait until April 1st for 'new' forms but there is very little or no difference from the previous ones.    Bah, humbug!

Nothing glamorous. Big asthma attack at work. Embarrassing and will lead to another sickness disciplinary. Hurray!

Nebulisers. Steroids.

And now I am breathing. In. And out. And in. And out. And in.

This is harder work than you'd think.

Shit, LG. Been there, done that, although thankfully never at work. I hope it eases up quickly.

As for me... I'm sitting here gobsmacked at having NOT been conned by my car insurance company. 28 years old, upgraded from a clapped-out old Mazda to a nearly-new BMW, and they only wanted an extra hundred quid to cover me until November.

They deserve a name-check for that don't they?

I suppose so! First Central insurance. (I'd even increased my annual mileage too)

Of course, I'm now sitting here wondering what to do with the afternoon off work I'd taken to sort it all out... Sod it, I'm going to go for a ride :)

I am creating CD ISOs to build servers from.

Quite why I should do this, I don't know as:

1) I hate the place that I am doing them for
2) They have confirmed this morning that they will NOT be extending my contract
3) They have the slopiest of shoulders so anything I send the permies to look at just comes straight back to me!
4) Did I mention I hate them?

Yes, indeed, GWS LG.

In other news I am freezing my nuts off due to new windows being fitted today (whilst I am still making those build CDs etc...)

This is harder work than you'd think.

I think there should be points for this sort of thing.  A sort of Audax Asthma Award.  What it would lack in competition it would make up for in potential for endless threads debating how to calculate the balance between air temperature, pollen count, presence of a dog at a control and so on, and whether peak flow was a valid measurement for AAA purposes...

GWS.
