Someone at work is starting a book club. We started discussing reading and my boss asked if I'd be joining, and I said no. To which a colleague replied "You never do anything".
Don't know if he was trying to be funny but I could have slapped him.

Sunday afternoon gym is quiet, which is nice. Also means no excuse for not doing a full workout.

Trying to get trousers in my waist size without having to order them for collection is getting annoying. I'm sure I remember a time a 30" waist was a more regular size on the high street.

Trying to use the accounting software we've been told to start using. It looks like it was designed for Windows 3.1 and is so unintuitive.
I've used various packages and not one is perfect, but you could wrestle enough to get it to get what you need.
This one? No. I can only guess it's cheap.

Gym changing room is thick with spray on deodorant. The kind that gets into the back of your throat and you can taste it. Not had that unpleasant experience since I was at school.

Listening to Pet Shop Boys Bilingual - Further Listening 1995 - 1997.
Life seemed easier back then. I miss buying CD singles with their B-side tracks.

Have just checked my annual leave remaining between now and end of March.
12 days!! That's 7 more than I thought. Better start booking some time off.

Today, two Google home speakers ended their life at the recycling centre. The LG WK7 were sadly no longer willing to play with the home WiFi, the LG software was needed rather than just Google home and was being temperamental when responding to commands.

In bed, noise cancelling headphones on (seriously, push against having one in the bedroom if someone suggests you should have one there) and book in hand. Sunday Scaries be gone.
