Question What is making you happy today?

[RHB]

A gritting lorry has just gone up and down our road. It desperately needed it especially the junctions at each end as they were pure ice and ruts. First time ever for our road. Well done Veolia.

I was laid low with that bug that’s going round in November. I’ve been back to work for one morning since then (to cut a long story short, it didn’t go well as I was clearly less fit than I thought!)

I’ve been slowly working on getting to the point where I can go for a walk without destroying myself. Today, for the first time in three months, I managed a second consecutive day of walking. It was only a mile. But it‘s progress.

My current client has extended my contract for a week whilst I wait to start at new client who slipped my start date by a week.

I've just been offered a 'hybrid' publishing deal for this novel I've spent years wrestling with - and then forgetting about for a while. I haven't seen the contract yet but it's been nice to receive some good feedback about it. I'm still editing it as I'm not 100% happy with it, but hey.

I took my truck in for service last night. There is a chap in service reception who always asks the same questions and never raises so much as an eyebrow at what you say. So the conversation went thus,

'Any problems?
'Yeah, the wife has left me and the cat is sick'
'Picking it up early? ?

For some reason that has reminded me of a story from my student days. My halls was over the road to a convenience store where we used to go for a chocolate run every now and again. So one person would go over with an order from about 20 different people.

The kid behind the counter would get what you wanted (this was the East End, the chocolate was behind the counter), and then ask "Anything else?" in a very gormless voice that really made me laugh.

So, one day I went in there with an order for loads of different things, but I ordered them one at a time. The conversation went something like this:

Me: "Mars Bar please".
(Kid gets a Mars Bar), "Anything else?"
Me: "Er, yeah, a Twix please."
(Kid gets a Twix), "Anything else?"
Me: "Er, yeah, a Lion Bar please."
(Kid gets a Lion Bar), "Anything else?"

This went on for about 10 minutes!

Just printed out a couple of free tickets for Ian Siegal's gig in Badalona on 19/03/2021.Gig is (supposed to be) socialially distanced so hopefully will go ahead.

Park Lane Stables in London raised enough funds to keep going after nearly going out of existence. Watching some of the kids that use it was heart warming in these grim times.

Inside or outside IR35?

Inside or outside IR35?

Outside. The agency I'm working with are all chartered accountants. They've been working with the client for years, and have talked them through the whole thing. They're happy to continue outside, so long as the agency draw up the contract.

Went for a longish walk in the Collserola woods earlier today.Stopped for a lunchtime break at a good restaurant there which the wife paid for.Win,win.

"Goolies" is a word that has, sadly, fallen out of use. As has "bosoms".

Unless you live in Goole, & are referred to as a 'Goolie', like a Geordie or Brummie for example!.
