Dear Elon (ya c***) I spent last week staring at a wall in the throes of an existential crisis like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. More of the same in the coming weeks. I don’t work in US Gov, and I’m not an American, and I don’t even live there. But hey you do you, ya scrawny rat.

Grandson staying over last night. Here we are, wakened since 6.00am. Ugh, not done that for a while. Send raw coffee beans and chocolates, I’ll just much on them as-is.

Those thoughts that you have when your Windows Update (claimed to take 6 minutes) is 90 minutes in, and still restarting. 💀

You spend all weekend thinking about that bad bug found in testing that could cause chaos if released. Then there’s that Monday morning momentary relief when it took you 15 minutes to locate and stomp on the little fekker.

At a family event. Hotel seems to be running on minimal service. On Valentine’s Day. A hotel. Caught on the hop with an unexpected influx of guests. On Valentine’s Day. 🤨

Just been told that the for day off I'm taking on Friday... we won't be able to travel until... after the working day is finished. Day off. To start after working hours. 'Day'. 'Off'. Not so much, it seems. FFS. OK, I won't be working, but what was the point in this happy-fuckery?

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I fucked off from X. I can honestly say that my general state of mind is much better, and I’m not so ranty at home or anywhere else* for that matter. *work is an exception 🤣

I swear, the howling from the gusting wind across the street is like it's coming from some evil that's in From, or some other supernatural horror flick. And now it's dark. Bring chocolate.

Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Give a man a fishing rod and teach him how to fish. He’ll just ask for a fish. People nowadays are literally the antithesis of self reliance.

This is why I hate humans. A red weather alert goes off on everyone’s phones earlier. And this is the result. We will NEVER survive a zombie apocalypse.

Getting back into sports mode last week. Have already done a serious number on an upper leg muscle, so straight into recovery mode. Honestly, you’d think I’d taken a leg pounding from a Thai boxer. All of the pain, none of the bruising 😩

I say: Let Canada and Greenland name their price to sell to the US! Start the negotiations at $1,000,000 trillion per acre for EACH country, and then get higher by $100tr for every day of every whine from that point on.

And so begins the most grumpy day of the year, when virtually all of us are back at the grind. May your weekends come quickly and pass slowly.

Really looking forward to getting my additional m.2 drive, and also new 64GB RAM for my sim rig. It’s been quite flakey of late.

Onset dementia is a horrible thief. And as always at this time of year, it seems worse, or at least the effect does.

Everyone groans and say my jokes are dull and boring. But they’re not. They’re boring and dull. A distinct and vital difference.

Today will mostly be about a TV executive wanting to staple reindeer horns on a mouse, while a man with a gun falls from a tower on 34th Street.

A few years ago on a windy rainy night I had to get an ‘emergency Xmas pressie’. There is a handy M&S nearby. Parked the car. Hood up, head down, went in. Found nothing worthwhile, and while there thought “this place is a bit untidy for M&S” and left. Turns out I’d gone into the next door Aldi 😂
