Not broken any records or started any fires yet, but plenty of time still smile

Work is dull so I'm laying down plans for something else.

So far so good; day 11 of a dry January and the biggest thing that had been causing me a load of stress for the last year is out of my life for good.

Haven't been home yet! Offshore since the 27th with another week to go.

So it's mainly been boring and repetitive with lots of meetings.

In vehicle terms, much like last year i.e. expense due to maintenance (EGR failure). A delightful experienced increased a thousandfold due to immediate loss of power upon merging after exiting a service station on M25. Glow plug indicator flashing, and finding myself doing sub-40! Fortunately had intermittent power to get to my destination and arrange for a tow truck.

Tow company paid, EGR replaced by regular indie specialist, and will be listing car tonight. Goodbye Audi, hello Skoda (fiancee point-blank refuses to drive Japanese).

Life and work, none too bad. Preparing for a summer arrival. Things are going to get a lot busier very quickly, thus enjoying relative downtime.

Looking forward to changing of the clocks and the arrival of Spring; albeit in an El Nino year.

Another one not been home yet.

Back to the UK from UAE on 14th Jan for 3 months of leave. Cannot wait.

But yeah, so far the New Year has been OK, running PB, been eating and sleeping well, not drank yet, work has been steady away. It would be wrong of me to have any complaints.

busy which is good
Saracens lost at the weekend which is not good
Wifes car passed its MOT which is good
Local Petrol station had its prices updated and both Petrol and Diesel were less that £1 per litre which is good

No trains today or tomorrow now due to some leaves and mud on the line near Barnhurst, when I did manage to get to Lewisham they had bright sunshine so it was delaying the trains that were running

Pretty good - New car finally arrived in the UK and is ready for pickup on Saturday. My industrial sized tin of Fabsil has stopped the Mrs's StreetKA from dropping water on her everytime she gets in it and My 2 big projects at work finished with everyone happy!

Not so good is the long running Cold/sore throat that I seem to get rid off for a day or 2 and then I feel crap again - Time to disinfect the Mrs I reckon wink

Crap so far, thank you for asking. Divorce is getting nastier and is preventing me getting on with my life. Also had to have the remnant of a failed crowned premolar pulled. At least I had anaesthetic, which doesn't come with a divorce.

Onward and upward, nil desparandum, non illegitimi carborundum, etc.

Well fixed car which is good.

Decided to take some time out from work to figure out what new job I want to do, ideally overseas.

Best get cracking I suppose.
