A very good morning all.....Just Tuesday.......No alcohol to be sold in hospitality in Wales for two and a half weeks so that's a very quiet Christmas in work. Just had to tell all the agency we have booked to cover peak week we don't need them. Problem is if it all opens again for 3 or 4 days before Christmas we will not cope as the agency will not be available. The joys of supply chain.

Philip Green / Arcadia / Mrs Green and her £1.2bn tax-free dividend. It's not a certainty that those jobs will all be lost, but the boss's refusal to embrace new consumer ways of shopping (i.e. not always in a shop) certainly hasn't helped the poor sods.
All-day workshop today, from the comfort of my own home. Whilst I'm happy to not need to travel somewhere for an all-day workshop, the challenge remains that everything that won't happen today will just spill over into the rest of the week, which was already pretty hectic.
Back to it. Be groovy.

Good morning everyone, in exotic Solihull or rather just near of the NEC amongst the HS2 enabling works.

I have confidence I have answered correctly on each occasion with honest responses.
Morning all, off to East London and West Essex all day.
Have fun all...

Morning all. Todays pre-work jobs were moving the tv and removing a wall light so Alex can do some more painting today. She's actually very good at it (far better than me), so saves me a job.
Then radiator removal in Joseph's rooms ready for the plasterers on Thursday. I forgot how bad the water stinks when it's been circulating in the heating system for years!
Not sure what's on today, not conference calls books, so I guess I'll just have to find some more work.

Hello everyone!
HapPea today as I got a tax refund this morning, which provides a bit of slush for Christmas.
Busy morning dealing with the end of a weekend conference in radiotherapy. It's been done online and, amazingly, they've found a good way to get attendees to engage with each other and with the exhibitors even with it online! Also, being online, for once I can get to hear some of the scientific sessions and not be stuck in the artificially lit exhibition hall.
Looking forward to my afternoon with the godson.

Good morning everyone, still in Solihull and still looking at humming machinery watching test engineers break it. Still beats working.

Is it really only Wednesday? Back on the buttons again this morning after an all-day workshop yesterday. What was interesting, whilst we lost maybe 15% efficiency and comms by the workshop being remote, it saved people flying to all be in the same country, hotels, lost time and all that downside guff. So, thumbs up.
Today, catch-up. Tomorrow it's up and out (actually out, like outside, and off the ranch and up the road) to drop the Vantage off for its service, MoT and have the infotainment upgraded to include CarPlay. Whilst I'm no geek-out CarPlay-for-the-sake-of-it fan-boy, having Waze and Google Maps built-in will be so much better than having my phone or a TomTom stuck to the windscreen. I'm looking forward to getting it done but, most of all, to using the bloody car again.
Hopefully tomorrow at dawn will be a lot less frosty than today. It looks bloody taters out there.
