I'm tired boss

I joined twitter during the 2011 riots.
I stopped posting on twitter when the BondVillain took over.
I deleted my account today.

I don't post a lot at Christmas
There is just one thing I do
Parody Mariah Carey
Hoping that she doesn't sue.

I just want a little fun
Bring some joy to everyone
Make my wish come true.
Add another stanza, or two.

Consuming more than posting here, again. So in the interest of contributing something:
Had a lazy morning, went for a walk in the park, tidied and cleaned, cooked a rather lovely meatballs and pasta, and now watching youtube with a homebrew red wine.

Would recommend this day to anyone else looking for a day.

Two views today, each rather different but both requiring control.

Black Friday is a great day for unsubscribing from marketing emails.

Lots of fun at the back of the orchestra today with a 'pops' family christmas concert.

There's something very special about playing drum kit with a full orchestra!

I need new glasses, but the opticians keep sending me reminders so I can't go...

As a nation, the Brits are meant to be great at making tea.
Why and when did this utter nonsense become standard practice?
Delivering me a teabag and a pot of hot water is not providing tea.
The water is no longer hot enough to sufficiently steep a teabag. I now have warm stew, not tea.

Stop it.

Out running errands today and had a truck nearly rear end me. Tailgating in a queue, almost on the towbar at 3 points - must have cleared it by millimeters. Then when I was waiting for the roundabout to clear they undertook me on the pavement, and almost hit another truck on the roundabout.

Noted the name on the unit, and the reg. Called their head office.

The driver has got a meeting when they get back to base. I don't suppose it will have tea and biscuits.
