Stuck in a meeting room all day, but at least I have a nice view
Week off means garage tidying. I'm considering a box of matches and some accelerant at this point...
Very tired, full of cold and off to Doncaster for what could well be a collection caper for our new family car. I have biscuits and Appletiser so sorted for the journey. Will I be driving back or buying a return ticket?
It's a bit wet but it's not the worst way to start the morning: going for a walk in the park with the little one
Well, today I closed my work laptop for the last time until 2025. Now on paternity leave for the rest of the year, very happy to be able to spend some time with my newborn son and maybe even squeeze in some personal projects...
Off on one of my last work trips of 2024 down to London for the day. Station and platform are very quiet...

Task: find a sensible family car to replace the 3dr Honda Civic that will fit wife + upcoming son comfortably.

Intention: get a Volvo estate or something sensible.

Result: definitely now looking at C63 estates and thinking "...could I?"

Sad news, my Land Rover has been stolen overnight. G815 ORH in or near Gateshead, North East. It's pretty distinctive, but was obviously targeted. Already posted everywhere to try and make it a bit too well known...
Plan for today is sit in front of this and decompose
An all day session to round out the week. Once the wind and the rain had stopped, it wasn't a bad view...
