Well as the day wears on i'm getting more and more tired, i think i may be heading for a kip when i get home!!!!
It's not unusual. 
BTW, the word 'kip' has an interesting origin;
''Kip is an old Dutch word kippe that came from the Middle Ages meaning a hut. Where people would live and sleep. In the middle of the 18th century it became an Irish slang for brothel.''

And I thought it was Dutch for chicken. No wonder I always went hungry in Amsterdam. BTW, the word 'kip' has an interesting origin;

Also:
The kip is the currency of Laos since 1955. Historically, one kip was divided into 100 att (ອັດ). The term derives from ກີບ kì
, a Lao word meaning "ingot." ...1 kip is worth approx 0.0001 US$
Poor Bobbers is never gonna get rich on just 1 kip a day...

Here Kip Kip Kip! I hear my Dutch pal calling his chickens. Let's hope Bobber's doesn't hear him!
I'm just back from a long Mavis march. We've over done it I think as we're both plonked out on the sofa.
I'm especially knackered due to injuring myself just before going on the walk.
I thought I would shower before I go,so as I was naked I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror!
So while looking down there I thought Mmm 'Gandolph" so I took the scissors out and gave myself a severe trim but was a bit of enthusiastic and drew blood!
Nothing serious and anyway the two veg are redundant anyway!

Evening all. Glenners Amsterdam trip is heartening, hopefully Percy’s boot is full of some great green so this poxy lockdown will pass quicker. 
Another day of instruction over, out on the crane tomorrow with a pupil.
Can’t be arsed on the bike tonight but it at last is getting easier.
Friday tomorrow, weeks gone quickly, Instructing new guys is rewarding though, but it is hard work.
I’m drained when I get home. Drained, not spent. Definitely not spent. StuntwomanWife is holding out on me

Irish brothel?
Garblesnatcher!Anyhow, it's reminded me, has anyone seen or heard from Father O'Friggery lately?
There's a load of his "merchandise" in the hangar that he had delivered there some time ago.
I could really do with using the space it's taking up.

Garblesnatcher!Yes thanks pequod, while I prefer the early shift allowing me to get stuff done when I get home, it's also quite tiring getting up at 0500 during the week, given a few weeks I get used to it and end up only having a kip for an hour or so meaning I can still get some time to myself!!!
Tonight's culinary delights were sweet and sour pork with wholegrain rice!!!

Father O' was defrocked, so you are free to invoice Papal Inc. direct, any further storage charges.Anyhow, it's reminded me, has anyone seen or heard from Father O'Friggery lately?

What's in there? I'm guessing it's just a collection of empty bottles and tourist tat from the Vatican that he was blessed with by his flock?
His collection of gold teeth might be worth something so best keep them until they are either reunited with the family, or you have a Papal Decree to distribute the proceeds amongst the poor of the Lounge Bar.
