Saw a rather sad looking Ukrainian flag hanging by one corner out a bedroom window this morning and thought: "That just about sums up the situation, battered, wet and hanging on by a thread."

@Paul We have a customer who still uses Eudora, OK so he's like 187 years old and is an original customer of the business (Hands up all those who remember dial-up?) but he rings up now and again for support. I remember our apprentice when he first dealt with him: "What's Eudora!?" 🤣 🤣 🤣

The wife has made a Biscoff cheesecake. Only one problem, we can feed half the street with the size of the damn thing but more importantly, for how much it cost I could have bought a small island!

YIPEE! Blow the crap and dust off the barbecue! This part of Merry England has the potential for some sun today.

And after the barbecue and corresponding drinks you have a mattress available to take a nap.

For the love of The Pond Gods! What is so special about the 9th of June?

Ordered something from eBay. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Amazon. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Argos. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Dunhelm. Delivery: 9th June

Had to just ask my boss if I can WFH that day or the wife will go mental with the constant doorbell ringing!

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.
Oh, and here's another one. The stuff ordered from Dunhelm: Click and collect would come with a delivery cost because half the order had to be sent to the house and half to the store however if I have ALL the items sent to the house it is free delivery?

I'm as confused as you are.

𝗦𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆: A van and a car drove through the red lights, not amber, RED! Forcing my daughter and me off the road!

Learner driver with a driving instructor drove onto the roundabout just as I came level with them!

Yeah. Scarily, driving through the lights on Red at this particular set is almost every day now. The cops around here would far rather sit in a layby in a warm BMW with the engine running waiting for a speeder than stand at the lights in the cold with a camera.

The sky was full of planes this morning while walking the dog; I kid you not! Clearly, as of March 2022, 92,065 people were not worried about fuel bills or food prices. I wonder how many flights there'll be by the end of today? caa.co.uk/Documents/Download/9…

The fuel and food price rises were inevitable. There's no murky rich man plan to squeeze the poor. We've had a pandemic whereby the vast majority across the globe did not work but still consumed. In the UK, we've had Brexit, which means changes that will affect prices, and now we have a war going on in Ukraine that is affecting food and energy supplies. This is a global problem, not a local one. Unfortunately, the solution is "Time." time for things to calm down and return to a level of normality, although unfortunately, it'll never return to "How things used to be."

I'll tell you what's funny about working in the IT industry, especially on the sales side of things. I spend my time raving about data throughput speeds, time-saving functions, faster communication capabilities and immediate scalability improvements and then when it comes to implementation, it's all "Ah, well, umm? we're looking at X days/Months......"

Watched 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 on Netflix this morning. Thank the Pond Gods I don't have to scrabble down the hill to beg for water from the residents below!

This documentary focuses on the many residents of Lima, Peru, who are forced to pay up to a week's salary for just one day's water.

OK, so I've been playing down these price rises, brushing them off with comments like: "There's no use moaning; you've got to have it, so you've got to pay for it." This lunchtime, it hit me personally! A pound, A POUND! I can't believe they've stuck a pound on the larger I've taken a shine to!

A customer has asked me to arrange for a redirect on a domain they own. The site it redirects to is very nice, although, for some strange reason, they asked us to point to /en? The site has one of those "Choose your language features", so I said: "Huh! Given everyone is falling over themselves to be seen to support Ukraine, I would have thought the default would be UA?" Select UA, and the language is English! Bwahahaha 🤣
