Awoke this morning and felt that I had got off surprisingly lightly considering I drank nearly a third of a bottle of rum last night. No slow brain, no lethargy, just a mouth that felt as it always does after serious rum consumption - like it's been carpeted in fur.

It also had the effect of sending me into such a deep sleep that I didn't hear my daughter screaming next to me at 0300. A fact that my wife has been only too happy to remind me of throughout the day, followed immediately by a moan about how she only had an hour and a half's kip all night.

I've got company here tomorrow. First time in ages - although she is bringing her Mum too...

They're coming round to watch the fireworks which will be going off somewhat conveniently directly in front of my balcony. (I had no idea they did this when I moved in about three years ago) So drinkies and nibblies while trying not to swear too much in front of Mum. How very twee.

I think we're missing an important point here.

What rum was it?

Thank you good sir! I thought it was about time I stopped slumming it around these parts and actually joined in with the elite.

Should you ever have the opportunity of staying in a Travelodge during its renovation, do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

That was miserable.

A bit of an own goal I'd say, trying to do run a hotel and conduct major work at the same time. When you have queues of men who look as though they have seen hard times complaining about the conditions you know it's bad.

A nice relaxed day of sanding and varnishing to end the week.

That's the plan anyway smile

It's curious that; spending so much time living out of a kit bag these days. When I was commuting in and out of London on the train I learned I had a nickname. Apparently, I was known as The Man With No Bag. I found out one night in The Three Guineas at Reading Station during a major transport infrastructure breakdown when several regular faces decided beer was the safest option. It turned into a good evening.

Morning all, and happy Friday.

WFH today which is nice. This evening my son is having a friend over to watch a "scary" film. I think the scariest it will get is Ghostbusters or maybe The Neverending Story.

It was a series on the telly many moons ago, in black and white no less.

Well that was an unusual commute. I rounded a fast, sweeping corner to be greeted by a queue of traffic on the main road. "Odd", I mused, "perhaps there's been an accident. It is very slippery along this road at the moment." As the queue slowly progressed the reason for the additional time on my journey presented itself: a swan. Happily parading itself up and down along the dotted line, occasionally meandering up to a car and taking a sniff at its bumper / radiator grille / badge. Eventually I made my way past as it took particular interest in a first generation Passat CC heading in the opposite direction to me.

Good old Wiltshire.

I'm now 3 Jaffa Cakes into my Friday. (Shortly to be 4.)

Just found out that PH now has a Channel Island section. Boy, that's going to be busy.

Our speed limit is 35mph on the highway (ha!) but 25 in villages. There are a lot of villages.
