There is a lot that is not great working in the gig economy. What is great, is thinking - "this weather is rather splendind" and sacking a couple more days off.

Rode vanvan last night to a pub to meet up with some members of my motorcycle club, they were actual children when I joined, kids who sometimes were on the back of their parents bikes, now they are adults with jobs and their own bikes.

Today rode my dirt bike to get it jet washed, then went out on my road bicycle, then sat in the sunshine in my garden reading Private Eye, then went out running with my running club.

It was over 17 degrees here, in February.

Made a rather tasty curry yesterday and managed to batch some off for another day.

I've had a very gear-oiling sort of afternoon indeed.

1. A random lady stopped me to ask whether I did my own nails (no), turns out she is thinking of opening a nail bar at the end of my street. I may have said Woo-hoo! quite loudly.

2. Had a drink with a former colleague who wonders if I would like to help her roll out a new event platform for her medical conferences, starting in a few months time with not-much-work a week but potentially ending up quite busy, including international venues. We've done conferences together at the tail end of the 1990s so she knows she can trust me to keep the show floating whilst she has a temporary melt-down. Quite pleased, been wanting not only to get back into her "crew" for probably 15 years or so now, but also wanted to get some event-management skills on my CV for the longest time.

3. Whilst I was standing at the bar awaiting merlot, a really good looking guy of about 12 years old asked me what I thought was good on Netflix this week. (Who, me?) Its the hair dye, I tell you. They think I'm younger than their mums. So we chatted about American Vandal, and the umbrella thing.

Okay, he might have been 25, or even 27.
He had a lumberjack shirt on and everything.
If I was 30 years younger, he wouldn't have survived the evening.

[slips on lumberjack shirt...sets the iron to delicates and applies to face. Only 2 hours and I'm ready for you]

Ahem...So after 3 days and nights I accomplished nothing during my time off work.

Let's remedy that.
New bridge saddles.....because she's worth it.

Somehow I've got it (her) back together and it (she) sings.

Its okay I fancy older fellers more anyway.

It seems indecent to perve on chaps under 30, my daughter's older than that, FFS, LOL

A week off work from today. Accumulated holiday must be taken before April and so I've got a week left. Nothing to do, nothing at all, a week to myself whilst the wife is at work, KING OF THE REMOTE!

[Courier265]

Went for a blatt on the M1, enjoyable ride up to Toddingdon services station...

Earlier this week I ended up in Sittingbourne, great ride home along the m20/m26/m25...

Got a new petsitting project, reasonably close to home. I'm off to meet them tomorrow.

It's for two very nice looking chaps with a dog, a cat and, uhhhhh ... a hamster ...

Went to visit a potential new dogging client.
Gorgeous little scruffbag Dizzy the dog, and his cat sister Gia.
And the gerbil ... but fortunately it's not allowed to roam about

The hilarious aspect of it is that the local appears to be The Blind Beggar.
So I lurked in there, coughed up NEARLY A FIVER !!!!! for a single G&T.

Mustn't grumble, there's a Greggs on the way to the station and a temptacious range of chicken shops, Asian sweet shops, sari stalls, jewellery, AND authentic curry houses, as well as the occasional hipsterish looking coffee shops dotted about.

I'm actually really excited to do this one.

I think I'll take myself on the Jack the Ripper tour while I'm there.


I remember taking myself on the walking tour, having found a brochure or something that told you the route, when I first arrived in 1984, but I never got round to going on the lecture walks. Might go on an actual talking one this time. Most of the places are probably gone by now, they were all still there when I went on me own back then.
