Bike flew through it's MOT today. Had it a year to the day too. Only done 10K miles, two sets of tyres, two sets of pads all round, one right hand cluster, one heated grip, one battery, 500ml of oil and some new dust caps. Not bad at all.

My o/h didn't freak when I said I wanted to get a new bike for my "mid-life crisis"!

I ended up accepting the (lesser paid) secretary job cos they gave the other one to someone with more marketing experience. But in fact I don't mind.

Not only does it mean I can continue to wear jeans and trainers to work (the other job was in the Corporate offices so I'd have had to wear more businessy things) BUT ALSO I would have had to be there bang on 9am (and possibly earlier taking minutes at some board meeting or other) rather than getting away with strolling in somewhere between 9.30 and 10

Plus, the faces already know and love me (or not) in this job as I've been temping it for four months. Even if there are shitty stressy parents who hate me because their children might die if I don't do what they want. Whereas in the other one I'd have to prove myself all over again, and REALLY I can't be bothered trying that hard, I'm 58...! When I think about it, I can't be arsed working that hard.

The money would have helped, and it would have looked good on my CV, I really did think that I wanted it, and it would have been interesting (as opposed to stressful, see gear grinding thread ) ... but at least this way I can still flirt with the two guys who interviewed me instead of possibly having to share an office with one of them and trying not to fart in their presence.

Anyway, cheers, new permanent job starting mid March, hoorah paid holidays, thank fuck. And just at the right time of year, easter bank hols, spring and summer bank hols, yay, Mondays off for free again.

Yeah it was yesterday rather than today but the look on Nobby's face when telling him what his 13 year old son uses as a safe word was entertaining.

Took a casserole around to a friends place.
The mashed spuds were particularly excellent.

Although I haven't played House of the Rising Sun in 30 years I managed to teach his son how to play it.

Gave my fried the tape player n cassettes. He happy as a sandboy and went straight for Marc Bolan.

Had a bottle of South African Shiraz.
Went home and snogged Mrs HT on the settee.

Opened another bottle like I know what I'm doing.

Currently pissed up like I know what I'm doing.

About to record a song I've been working on.

Love everyone until the the moring then will be sad 'cos reality.

Roast lamb dinner on the go with crispy fluffy roast potatoes and homemade gravy using the meat juices.
Just had a couple of whiskys

A nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Mayflower Chinese chicken curry with proper boiled rice, not that microwaved shite.
Big chunks of onion and loads of peas.
Very simple yet really nice.

[hellkat]

Decent fart.
Can't beat it.
One of those "I eat a lot of red meat and I don't care" kind of farts.

Done my good deed for today!

Some lads were messing with an old scooter in the alley down the side of our office. They were wearing the compulsory uniform of the ne'er do well: black hoodies, trousers hanging down. So I rang 101...

Turns out the scooter was recently stolen and the owner only lives round the corner!

Now I'm just waiting to see who turns up first: the owner or the idiots

Woo! Fireproof shed is nearing completion. Metal bench is in, most surfaces now painted and about two tons of basically useless junk is now gone.
Only one minor niggle - it feels cold in there because I have no piles of rubbish hugging me

Ordered a fuel cock from Bob Wright motorcycles at 3.40 yesterday, it arrived at 9.30 this morning.

He also called me back an hour later to confirm order as I'd bought a different one a few months ago. And it's a lovely day for some two stroke smog
