watching the goings on in Turkey
Another glum day here but a healthy 18C.
Had a lie in this morning to try and recover from a surfeit of
fresh air, exercise and beer on the river yesterday. It hasn't
worked as I still feel as if I've been set upon by them there thuggees.

The Mucky Duck pub next to me canal has re-opened....which is good news after a hard days graft on the cut.
Spent part of yesterday driving our trip boat with a charter party on board. Spent another part of yesterday clearing weed off the prop shaft!

A quite wonderful morning with sunshine and everyfing.
The birds have discovered the cherries.
Bacalhau com natas for lunch.
Except it won't be salt cod but fresh cod but it will still be
fish and potatoes in a cream sauce but the Portuguese name is
a bit more exotic. To be washed down with a bottle of Malbec.
But before fettling that I'm going to have a go at making some
Scotch eggs. A friend of mine has a small holding and one of
his Gloucester Old Spots has made the ultimate sacrifice to
provide the sausage meat.

Spent a lovely family afternoon picnic on the beach at Pett Level between Hastings and Rye. Call me a wimp but the sea's too cold for a dip. I did find a piece of fossilised wood which came from palm forests that grew hereabouts in prehistoric times. It's not the first time I've found them but it's a bit like finding a priceless gem.
That walk and fresh air has given me the appetite for the roast beef that is in the oven and the few glasses of red to go with it. Happy days

Good Day all.Just checking in to say I am still kicking. Meeting with two VP's on Monday pm. On a short term assignment until end September need to know what they will do with me. HR guy who is Japanese but good guy let it slip Friday afternoon accidentally on purpose I think as he can see I am stressed out, that end of September I will be given a good offer, but will go into meeting as if I don't know. Moving to Livermore end of month. The expect us to be operational on the Monday, but all test fixtures/systems have to have an inspection before we can do any work because of FDA regs.
Doing 12 to 14 hour das, hopefully after the move will improve.

Looks like we are in for a warm one today.
Went for a walk around the village last night and called into a
couple of pubs on the way. I can't remember the last time I did
that but the evening was so nice it was a bit like being on holiday.
All the best Nigel. Fingers crossed that you get out of it what you want..

Reminds me of my mum's old shop, where I used to 'work', aged 8 or so, weighing out packets of tea and sugar. About the only difference isexcept her scales were the other end of the cabinet.
And, according to events in the garden, today is 'flying ant day'. Blokes renewing our soffits are swearing something cruel at them.
