I’m quite happy with my current mutuals situation.
If you are going to bring nothing to the table except regurgitated political rhetoric, please don’t bother following me. You won’t get a follow back, and more likely blocked.

Electrical inspection done. I’m exhausted and feel ghastly. Needed to have eaten 3 hrs ago.
Rest now and find something easy to eat tonight.
Goddamn social care walk tomorrow. 🙁

No bread flour this morning. Is this a concerted attack on home bakers by Sainsbury’s? Or big soya forcing us to eat their filth?

Damn. Malwarebytes annual subscription went through, I had thought I had cancelled that. Don’t need that this month. Bugger.

Woke to a homesick Michael Bublé. Could be worse. I doubt I’ll get back to sleep now, worrying about this bloody electrical inspection. How much of a jobsworth is he going to be? Last guy made a meal of it, a bad case of little man syndrome, and my bulk was a red flag to a (diminutive) bull.

Think I better try and get to sleep early tonight, all sorts of rubbish to deal with in the morning. Probably won’t sleep at all now, that’s the usual way with me. Wish I didn’t take so long to drop off, always amazed me how various partners had fallen asleep within minutes.

I suppose I should check what is happening with the Trumpian hegemony, think I’m calm enough to handle all the crazy this evening.
I definitely sleep better, and have better days when I ghost the news.

Odds and ends of deliveries, no apparent pattern. Princess Royal hub hanging on to my recipe book avariciously.
Need to put a formal enquiry in for the non-delivery of a packet of Sukku coffee. It’s such a bore, perhaps I’ll just let it drop and not order again.

Refried the slow-roast from last night with chilli flakes. Had chips because zero carbs last night made no difference to my blood sugar this morning. Cholula chilli and lemon sauce. Very enjoyable.

Bloody electric inspection tomorrow morning. They have reminded me twice today. No apology for not replying to my email regarding the possibility of the clash with Sainsbury’s delivery, (the electric distribution board is in porch) and my inability to move furniture for them.

That’s enough for the day. Sitting much too long now.

Finished “Nobel House”, really enjoyed it, the narration lost nothing of the taste of the book.
Started “In A Yellow Wood”. One of my favourite Gore Vidal novels. Simple and perfect in my opinion, an old trope but captured with mastery.

I had some of these. 😊 It’s nice to see they still make them.
My favourite plastic soldiers were the French Foreign Legion. They were a lovely blue. Airfix seems to have sold the moulds to Haï. I bought some a few years ago but it looks like they still use the 60s moulds, quality awful.

Like Marvin, I too have pain down my left hand side. Similar diode problems I suspect.
I’m out of cleaning solution now, so ibuprofen will have to do,

Bin day tomorrow, and the guys are still trying to decide whether it’s landfill or recycling, Xmas / new year always confuses them more that the residents, and we get given a schedule that is a complete work of fiction.
Anyway, I better get everything clear. I may or may not have deliveries today.

Poor Marvin is acting up again. I gave him a double dose of cleaning solution. I image it cleans different things to the descaler. Can’t afford a new coffee machine right now, even on the plastic.
