Having lunch with Mrs Gee, Gee's Major, Minor & Micro, plus future DiL, (although tbh Micro Gee was wearing a goodly portion of his lunch). Nothing better than Sunday Lunch with loved ones. ;)

Currently enjoying a Calvados brandy in a proper brandy balloon. One of life's great pleasures.

Had a lie in after a late night with a sick son. He's bounced back and is at Alton Towers.

I've done some dad jobs around the house and garden. Then my ironing whilst watching GoT and a film.

Just finished a book, I am sure many have read this already, as it is from a while ago, but a good read all the same.

Its a great book and he was a naughty boy at times, I'm not sure why that surprised me but it did.. I found it easy to read for an hour or so then i had to put it down as it had so much detail in it. I finished it last month and I've had it for ages!

I've got both of Guy Martins books next..

I've just asked for a pay rise. Judging by the reaction I won't be treating myself to a new bike any time soon.

I should get a decision in a few weeks time. Salary reviews take place in June so I thought I would get in early while they're still doing the budgets for next year.

Good for you...you don't ask, you don't get....just don't do it too much and you'll be OK.


I remember a really beautiful girl standing on the street in LBZ one time....happened to be walking by to get smokes....when I came back she was still there...

"Hi....I don't mean to be rude, but what are you doing out here? You're obviously not 'on the game', and if I were your boyfriend I wouldn't want you out around this neighbourhood?"
"I'm waiting for the bus".
"Oh...Why doesn't your boyfriend drive you?"
"I don't have a boyfriend".
"WHAAAT!? How come??"
"I was told I'm too intimidating....guys just assume I'm already with someone, so no-one ever asks me out on a date".
"Oh....well, would you like to go out with me?"
A pause.
"No...now fcuk off!"

True story.

It's the first pay rise I've asked for so I'm not taking the piss.

Well, asking for a 12.5% pay rise might be seen as taking the piss....... I guess I'll find out.

I see it as a good way to open negotiations (bandit)

If I get any more than the bog standard 1.5% or whatever they're offering this year it'll be a bonus.

Went to do a 1hr job and wound up with a bucketload of work from another piece of kit that took an extra 8hrs to sort - and I need parts, so that's yet another visit.... Sometimes I feel like I'm going backwards.

2 extra days at the moment. We have got one helicopter coming out tomorrow but have a backlog and limited to one helicopter crew. So fully expecting (read mentally preparing) for a bit longer. They are flying it direct from Darwin rather than Timor so it's a 2.5 hr flight over water. If there's even a hint something is not right the helicopter won't fly.
