Chilly, but blue-skied morning. The way I feel today is better than usual, I suppose. Vague optimism. Maybe that’s overstating it. A glimpse is better. The early morning What’s app was the boss moaning that Big Gay Jay wasn’t awake and he was outside his house ringing him. As long as its not me. That’s all that really matters. The lack of anything better to talk about brings in the usual discussion of food. We have been eyeing up a Toby carvery up the road. It seems it does “all you can eat” breakfast. That’s enough of a lure but they also do a breakfast Yorkshire pudding?! I’ll keep you posted on that.

A radio would fantastic. Fucking health and safety rules are stupid. I really needed to hear this:

We’ve stopped for early break now. Even better than that, because we are working in Hemel Hempstead the site manager doesn’t like “them London rules”. Thus, The Bluetooth speaker is out! First song on, Running On The Spot. Second:
That’s a clue as to what I’m gonna play when I get back in. First off, Benson’s must be smoked and shit must be talked….
I have to say, I’m surprised there has been no kick-back from yesterday’s childcare arrangements. It must be my lucky day!…….Fuck. I probably just jinxed myself. What a tit!

I’ve over excited myself, now it’s dragging like a bastard. I think I ate too much crap at lunchtime too. Uurrghhh, Zzzzz. QUICKLY!

I rounded off the afternoon by popping into the “rents” to look at a small electrical issue my pops was having with the kitchen. It turned out that it wasn’t that small after all. I think, quite serious in fact. I’ll have to consult some electrician friends tomorrow. There is always some sort of problem with that cursed, old mansion they live in.

Carter has just made us dinner. All of a sudden, I’m shattered. It’s a bit early but I have been burning it. I’m working Saturday as well.
