Just killing time on here. Just don't tell the time police.
Trying to be nice and keep a positive mindset, can't always say I'm successful.
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.

Another pin badge on which the back falls off. Need to find a better supplier as this is the third or fourth badge this has happened to.

It's a diet be damned say. Pass the chocolate.

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

Hush Puppies have a sale on. Just purchased a pair of their trainers because I'm old and need the comfort.

Productive leisurely day achieved.
Finished book
Taken print to picture framers
Popped into John Lewis and got a bargain price fragrance

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.

Friday night food shop done. Frees up the weekend and this weekend I WILL do something relaxing for myself.

When an entire building disappears in Princes Street and you can't remember which shop was originally there.

Him: have you seen that pile of dust on the top stair?
Me: yes
Him: *does nothing about it*
Me: (like an idiot) well I'd better get the vacuum cleaner out then.

Tonight's listening as I iron. Supergrass: In It For The Money. Such an underrated album.

Neighbour appeared to have had a barbecue this evening. Road full of cars who are visiting them.
It's January 13th, what gives?

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.

Does anyone have an issue when their shoes or trainers start to designate from the inside after a certain period of time?

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.

Other half seems fine to be left alone with the dog, so a trip to London is a go!

Finding out I have 12 days of annual leave left and I'm up for a promotion in April. Could today get any better?
January 12, 2026 at 1:34 PM
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.

Just walked into the office and the temperature is subtropical.

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.

You Tube Music had recommended this. Quick listen gives me early 80s synth vibes.
