Bit of a skive at work today and then a long weekend. Nothing major planned.

Drinks and Mexican food in glasgow on Friday though. Mojo temporarily wonky so might have to stick to the safety lager.

What bout you?

Today I have to phone up Virgin to complain/threaten to leave over them putting my broadband price up AGAIN. Think Iā€™m now paying upwards of Ā£40 a month for non-fibre internet with no TV channels or anything, which is beyond absurd.

tl;dr nothing to report

I slept like a baby in my hotel last night. And got a lie in! Brilliant.

Just had some pastries and a coffee and now checking out. Got a day of IT development and then a drive home. Only in work tomorrow for a few hours and the its a 34 week baby scan!

Salford Quays and mediacityuk is a cool development. Quite nice. The other side of the river is a bit shite though, innit?

When someones wheeling a suitcase along the pavement and you can hear every single fucking crevice that the wheel is rolling into. Can hear it getting closer behind me. Fuckofffffffff

Problem is Iā€™ve woken up with the mother of all colds and major level period pains.

I have one of my contact lenses inside out so I canā€™t see properly right now.

Fuck saaaaaaake.

I agreed to help out a former colleague with some exam stuff, because Iā€™m basically the kindest and most selfless human being whoā€™s ever existed, and theyā€™ve gone and invited the office oddball along too.

I definitely feel a bit more SAD (in the Seasonal Affective way) around October and March when the clocks change.

Mornin team,
Tis a lovely morn up here.
Got some bourbon tasting dinner thing tonight which Iā€™m not really in the mood for but Iā€™m sure will be fine once I get there.

ehā€¦ okay, so i guess i actually meant that bit with the bbc? is that not the quays? iā€™m confused. the bit wi was talking about ā€˜on the other sideā€™ is the old trafford bit between that cool bridge.

Got some decent nursery car park beeves going on Tuesday morning. Saw the fella again today, no words were spoken.

i did like the big open spaces anda the quay side stuff. seemed fine. maybe iā€™m used to my ā€˜up northā€™ shite in cumbria, but it seemed like a nice space around the lowry and that. :confused:

Morning chaps.

And another lovely morning it is. Think that this time of year might be my favourite; 20 degree days where the light is really clear and the leaves are just starting to brown on the trees.

Today is my Friday. Off to Greece at the weekend. Feeling fairly chillā€¦

The lowry and the war museum are ace. The quays used to have some cool blue faded cranes that were beautiful but were removed last year for being ā€œlike working class totemsā€ :disappointed:
