I now finish work at 6am rather than 8am, and also I now bicycle to work, so I get home really quick in the cool of the morning on empty streets

Agreeing my severance deal from my soon-to-be-former employer.

Being paid to fuck off? That'll do nicely.

I have almost finished my massive chunk of extra work and met the deadline (today) to get a certain percentage of the way through so I will get paid on time and not midway through August like last year. Hurrah!

After a fashion, I believe the bigger bikes have a 2 charging option/accessory. This one doesn't. Thumbs Down

If we walked 12.9 then the dog did about 20 trotting away happily. It's the Weimeraner in her, she could go all day.

My wife got me a brand new Ted Baker waistcoat for £10 from Oxfam.


I still remember making jokes about Oxfam rejects when I was at little school, they've come a long way!
