All other KC-CM staff members are on leave today. I am the only member of staff working. It is like early 2019 all over again. I should empty out the company bank account, and neglect to put any money aside for Corporation Tax again. That worked out perfectly well back then, so far as I remember.

Back from annual leave today. I’ve moved some bits of paper around and read some emails. Is that what I normally do? I can’t remember. Can I stop now? It’s nearly 15:00…

#Pulp at #Glastonbury were absolutely fantastic. Total class all the way through.
Common People should be the British national anthem. Hope you’re all well.
I am on the sofa pouring cider into my head.

Just wanted to share that, despite today being a Monday, I am genuinely delighted to report that I actually managed to arrive at a meeting on time this morning.

Why does no one listen to voicemails anymore? From now on I am going to answer the phone by saying “Hello, Kevin speaking. Have you listened to my voicemail?” each time.

I know three people that have been mugged, quite brutally, in the last few months. They have had their phones, computers and jewellery taken. I must admit that if I am working, I always carry my laptop and two phones. It makes me query whether it is safe to carry such items. Probably it is not.

Normal Person: “This change Apple have made in the software update is bad”
I.T. Person: “How can it be?! Apple knows what you need better than you do. This iteration is 0.00002 seconds faster per year. You just need to re-learn everything you know about computers to benefit from that time saving”.

Went to a party on Saturday. My 25-year-old niece told a random lady that I had been the guy in the band Aqua who sang “Come on Barbie, let’s go party”. I said “Yeah, I was Norwegian and bald in the 90s”. This lady was thrilled and asked for a selfie with me, which she put on her socials.

Somehow I’m imagining everyone at the HMRC booking luxury holidays today. Still, at least I can get a GP appointment whenever I need one and the roads are beautifully surfaced.

The trouble with LinkedIn is that people want to *link-in* with me! They want to reach out to book in a Teams call to introduce me to their services, start a dialogue and establish how we can work in partnership. I want to not do those things.

Anyway, stay warm and make sure the vulnerable have hot drinks, folks. Boiled lager with a big teaspoon of Ovaltine is revolting.

When did people decide it was ok to sit in a parked car at night, facing the direction of oncoming traffic, with their headlights on full beam?

“Please let us know how the delivery of your packages went”. “I neither heard nor saw the driver.When I went outside,I found two packages - placed only partially out of sight - behind a plant pot & another stuffed halfway through my letterbox. I would complain, but the drivers are modern-day slaves”

The London train companies all seem to be having a chaotic day. I suspect they had their Christmas drinks at lunchtime. Either that, or they’re just grossly incompetent. Which is just a possibility I mention…

I must say, all the sols I work with are leaving it very late to invite me to the Headway Christmas awards on Thursday. It’s almost as if they’re not going to invite me. Again.
