Sticky biscuits

A late blog tonight, which are generally less popular, I'm obviously a provider of tea time entertainment and by this time of night there's loads better to do

I've actually only just sat down to relax for the first time today, it's good to be busy, but it's also good to rest

First job of the day at work was a glue spillage on the off slip at junction 2 on the M27, a sticky situation (ha de ha), obviously now we don't want horse meat for Tesco burgers, the horses are running around motorways with disastrous consequences. This incident showed the inadequacies of our technology on the road, we needed an electronic display sign to show a lane closure on the slip road, couldn't be done. So we asked for signage to say 'skid risk on slip'...couldn't be done. 'Switch it off then, no point if it can't say what is actually going on'

At our next job I got to put my currently bad diet to good use. A young woman had broken down with her 2 year old son, she had breakdown cover, but didn't know who it was with...she'd also managed to leave her mobile phone at home...along with her coat. We managed to arrange her recovery, lent her a phone to call her boyfriend, but neither of these cheered up her son. Lucky I was on hand to provide an iced party ring biscuit. I'm not sure what the woman thought of me driving around with biscuits for kids, but hey it cheered up the little lad for a few minutes

Back home from work at 2....I realised at around 6:30 that we'd be short staffed this afternoon, but since no one bothered to ask me to stay on late until 13:58, I didn't bother.....anyway I had a hot date planned this afternoon, to free myself from the shackles of work uniform and get hot and sweaty....in the gym. Squats day today, which I love, and managed to hit a new personal best :-)

Had a shower then have spent the last 5 hours doing some work on the computer, fingers crossed something good will come of it

Only saw Amelia for about 30 minutes tonight, she came home from nursery in a terrible mood, exhausted from a day at 'forest school' which is basically outdoor play at nursery, but they do teach them quite a lot at the same time

Tomorrow will be my last early shift for a week, which is nice, but on the downside it means tomorrow is my last evening off until Sunday. Still my wife may be away on Sunday so at least I can spread out in the bed at night :-)

So...pictures. The best window cleaners a children's hospital could hope for, a pizza disaster and a crazy estate agent
