Went to the local bakery for bread, reasonably early to find them sold out because of the Christmas bulk panic buyers…

Having a sleeping Spaniel under my desk feels like a working environment win

Wow a last day before Christmas meeting that took eight minutes to cover a load of stuff and sort it out conclusively!

Looking very much like Yodel have lost a pair of shoes I ordered at the local depot, quite why retailers use such poor couriers I’m not sure, I’m more than happy to pay for decent service

I have no idea what happens with my ‘rents and car journeys, have they set off, what time will they arrive it’s a mystery…

Now in the unknown of when my parents arrive…
It’s always a mystery last time from Birmingham to Birmingham took four hours and they always get lost around Stroud…

Yay my E-gravel bike is ready for collection after its warranty work, just in time for the depths of winter!
Might have to price up some mudguards!

Have had chronic wind all day, I’ve only just remembered that I’ve had homemade baked beans for four meals on the past two days, that’ll explain it!

We’ve got a gnashing of teeth locally about the budget and the effect on hospitality.
Locally at least pubs seem to employ a lot of young people, which on many levels is great, but many of them feel over staffed yet under resourced.

I have to say I was really disappointed by the @therestpolitics.bsky.social leading interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social it felt beyond dogma and rhetoric there was very little understanding. I've voted Green previously locally not sure I can anymore.

Listening to @iaindale.bsky.social and @rory-stewart.bsky.social and it’s just a delight, really thoughtful!

How did that happen ten days left to work this year?

Watching cyclocross whilst ironing with sleeping dogs close by it's pretty much peak Sunday!

Well today is the day that the Nasturtiums finally ended…
18th of November is pretty late to be fair

Will this week see the first frozen dog turds of the winter in the garden?

A new low, it's Friday afternoon and there are no desks available for my office day next week (it's a Tuesday)...
It doesn't do wonders for morale

As a former Labour voter I don't care about your nonsense Westminster Bubble psychodrama's I do care about left wing policies that make peoples lives better, the shame is there's been some decent policy that's been hidden by any for of humanity or capacity to communicate

Well just had some delicious after work beer at the Deya taproom, delicious enough for me not to question the clarity of the beer…

Wow every seat in a carriage reserved the last marginally cheaper train is just mad busy, mad how Tuesday is now the most expensive day of the week for trains

Pint of Horse Brass at the Fresh Standard taproom hitting it out of the park this afternoon

Honestly glasses the productivity I gain from being able to see is offset by the time I spend looking for the bastards after I've taken them off somewhere random...

Using a supplier tool that doesn’t display ordering/information uniformly across my views sometimes it’s date, sometimes it’s alpha order other times it’s some random discretionary ordering…
Frustratingly the supplier in question has an effective monopoly…

So pay per mile pricing for electric cars in the budget makes sense, but must be accompanied by fuel duty increases…

Well it seems that the biggest congestion factors in Oxford are inappropriately parked cars, boo, then bicycles and buses, about 20 minutes from Headington to the station hoping @emilykerr36.bsky.social I know you just have congestion charging but oh man you need trams so badly!
