You've gotta love the UK. I put my office fan away thinking I wouldn't need it, and then suddenly, out comes Mr Sun again.

It's shaping up to be a lovely day at #CastleCannon
The sun is out, the patio door is open, and no arsehole is using a disc cutter for the minute.

Yeah, we have a right weird household that lives at the end of the cul-de-sac who thinks we want to listen to the likes of Elvis, The Everly Brothers and Val Doonican at 400 decibels. I can only assume he plays it that loud because he's determined it carries the length of the twenty or so houses that make up our enclave.

That moment when you press the power button on the docking station several times and then realise your laptop is still in your rucksack. Doh! 🤦‍♂️

It's a bad day today. I had to bring my razor to work, something I've not done in over 40 plus years of working because I ran out of time this morning.

The cube had a use in terms of productivity by giving you six workspaces on top of the virtual workspaces, but the rest had entertainment value only.

We went to Currys Electrical last night to buy a Fridge-Freezer. They have 408 (Pre-Paid) orders for the Samsung one we wanted, with 300 coming in towards the end of the month, so 108 people [who've paid already] will have to wait, including us. We left, muttering under our breath: "We can manage for the time being."

I cannot leave the house without seeing at least one Tesla. If that's not a success story, I dunno what is.

That moment when your dog does his nut, you go to the door, and a DPD driver is just past your house, and you call out: "Did you just knock on my door?", they say "No," and then 30 seconds later they ring your doorbell with a package!😡

I need to get a jar and title it "Street Money" because pretty much every day I find money. 1p here, 2p there. This morning I found 5p and once I found a £5 note. Never mind the streets of London being paved with gold it seems roads up here are literally dripping with coins.

That’s a bit like where I work, only the roads are literally dripping after so many people spend a penny.

That moment sat on a train. When you scan your lottery ticket with the Lotto app on your phone and the app plays that "Winner" music, you show your wife and say "Shh! Look!" and everyone on the train looks at you.

So the boss said we could finish at 2 pm I was both excited and sad: "Damn! The Missus will still be in bed." I took the car to the car wash to waste some time but still arrived home at 3 pm only to find she'd gone out! #ShakesFist

This afternoon I spent some time "Breaking Boxes Down" and putting them in the recycle bin. It should look good on my CV when applying to the local supermarket for a job if it all goes pear-shaped here. ;-)

There were lots of these: packaging2buy.co.uk/protective… I had to knife them, which will come in handy if they ever remake Westside Story.

Wow- and that’s a big one, too. I think I’ve had £8 from them in the past but the automated machines at banks don’t like taking them…

You know when you see a post on Twitter, and you think: "Hang on? That's not right?" but you keep your trap shut because you know you're gonna get a shitstorm hurled at you. I had one of those moments earlier; gone are the days when I wouldn't care and reply. 😞

Are you one of those who refuse to give your email address when the assistant asks: "Would you like an eRecipt?" This morning I needed the receipt for a purchase I made a few days ago, I couldn't find it. Luckily I had given my email address and there was an alternative to the paper one I had lost. Phew!

I came to work in such a good mood and then saw two emails.

"I unplugged the Qnap (Coz I'm a stupid twat) and plugged in the comms box. it didn't work, so I plugged the Qnap back in, and now that doesn't work!"

And then:
