WFH today but really not feeling it, gonna jack in a minute. Have a work issue involving Camden Council and Veolia, I'm struggling to decide who is the more inept of the two parties. Couldn't swim last nght so we're going tonight.

Ha not...it was a local train only but didn't stop very often!
Hopefully that means our bins will get emptied today without a call to the council. One day maybe they'll even keep all the recycling separated rather than tipping all the different bins insisted upon into one big lorry.

Don't fret! You should be able to still tune in over the interwebs...

looking backwards, going forwards
The Wife has booked some holidays.
Something about an air show or something in Dorset? sounds exciting, but I can’t remember what she said.
Going back to Portugal later in the year to stop with Bro-in-Law & his Missus - they live in a dead quiet place in what feels like the middle of nowhere.
I reckon we will fit another break in once Wife gets her act together.
Impromtu call to Headway brain injury charity revealed good news as more records have sold - ace.
#1 Granddaughter is over this evening - I have a pile of T-Shirts for her to peruse, I am sure one of em will please her, stuff I have bought at concerts etc. so interesting garb.
I have got her a treat, some fancy-pants little tomatoes. Also some Gurnsey full fat milk, as she loves the stuff - we have always pushed milk at the girls as osteoporosis affects the females in our family.
Made some coleslaw - Dutch white cabbage based this time. Lord knows why folks buy it? it is cheap to make and always tastes better - ditto hummus - soo easy to make.

Lazy day today, cooked breakfast for the family (son#2 and daughter#2 here for the weekend.) Caught up on British Superbikes and then watched the play off final, whilst the ladies were out. Cheese and biscuits (with a few extras) for dinner tonight, one of the kids favourites.

... wondering why everything seems to be so inefficient.
At the beginning of last week, a man from the water company came and cleared the grass off our stopcock out on the verge, and sprayed a bit of blue on the road.
Later in the week, another man came with a listening stick (impressive), and sprayed some more blue on the road and the verge.
Later again, another lot of men came and installed some traffic lights.
Then another lot came and dug a hole.
The next day, a different lot came and looked into it. Nothing happened.
It's Bank Holiday week-end, so no men, but the traffic lights are still there, despite the hole being in the pavement, not the road.
No doubt we can hope for some more men on Tuesday - maybe.
It's all different lots of men, working for different companies. It'll probably get fixed, whatever it is, sometime.
