Morning @JaguarPirate ! Morning everybody!

Dreamed I was temping in Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen and a chef didn’t arrive so he told me to be in charge of meat, but not how to cook it and he didn’t care that I don’t eat meat. Absolutely not a GBOL that fella. 0/10

:+1: Collecting an interesting light fitting later from some random chap. Got some funnish chores to do.

:+1: Some distant hint of blue sky, and it isn’t raining.

:-1: have to sign on for the first time in decades. Maybe it’s brilliant these days?

:-1: Where the hell are my winter shoes? My feet get cold when I go for a walk. Never used to notice my feet getting cold. Don’t get old, kids.

:+1: I saw a couple of my current fave Brighton bands last night (Van Zon and Jamie Broughton, for the locals)

:-1: It’s still only Tuesday. Can’t it be the weekend again?
:-1: I’ve got a kind of achey neck - not so bad that I’d go and see a doctor about, but it’s been lingering for a few weeks

Morning all

:up: Got pretty much all my work for the week done already
:up: Got some nice porridge on the go

:arrow_down: Stuck in the office all day
:arrow_down: Ballsed up a bunch of delivery timings which will almost certainly further delay Christmas sauce production

Tedious dream news: had a dream where everyone started to refer to good things as shelf. As in, “that new Cure album is absolutely shelf, mate.” Short for top shelf, presumably. Early attempts to bring this dream into reality have been shot down with prejudice. Which is probably fair.

Hope you’re all well
