Rome presently.
Do you mean roaming around Rome
Or woaming awound Wome.
But what did the Romans ever do for us?
We saw this and thought of you today Duke

Today I'm off out for a bit of window shopping re. a new bike......turns out I have a bit of money put away I didn't know about, and I figure what the feck...why not?? I'm in no rush though.
My mate who watches over my cash for me is a bit pissed that he told me now, methinks.

Waiting for stuff to arrive so I can get started. Some of the stuff is still in India, other stuff is getting machined, other stuff is getting cut into samples. Meanwhile I have to start machining other samples so I actually have something to do.
The worst feeling is when you have so much to do but also nothing to do. I also have to do all the testing, spreadsheet population and result analysis including having a conclusion to present to the appropriate management teams by tomorrow afternoon - I doubt I'll even have finished testing by then!!!

file reviews for an insurer client.
We have to do them every so often to make sure we're progressing the files. I don't mind doing it but the form filling gets a bit tiresome.

Mrs Kwacky is off to Ibiza for a few days with her friends for a 50th. So I'm on solo parenting duties. Task one - pass the youngest off to my mum

If it makes you feel any better Kk, it was never even nearly as warm as that when we did it.

Being told I've just paid £185 for some bloody Olly Murs tickets
Not asked told and it's already been done I just have to pay the credit card bill, which funny enough is how I found out I had bought them

Yeah but in context 8 deg is tropical for you guys
