Up all night, and not in a fun way.
Working with people in China is fun.. being still up when the coffee shop opens, not so much.

50th birthday plans scrapped.
I'm working in Manchester that week now, and need to replace the boiler.
Best I can do is a night in a hotel in London after work event.
Which is only going to happen if work pay, looking at the prices.

It’s extremely appealing, that curve of someone's bald head. Mesmerising beyond words.
In lieu of words, I like to stroke it with my fingertips.

Not everyone can be bald, and that is OK. But because bald guys don't get NEARLY enough love, here are 3 of my hot bald boyfriend's best angles.

I don't think I'm likely to die on a hill. It's a better bet that I'll die at the bottom of the hill while whining about not wanting to go up it.

Dragging myself into London again.
I've already had a plumber round to unbugger the diverter valve (not a euphemism) and inhaled a coffee and an almond croissant, all on 4 hours sleep, so doing OK.

Today's objective is to break the downward spiral. Hydrate, healthy lunch, and exercise when I get home.
There's only me home this week, so if I don't do this, it's entirely on me.

The universe is being arbitrary and unfair today. Hot water has packed up. I feel really sad, I miss my shoulders, and I'm going to be on my own most of the week thanks to work schedule and Herself dealing with mum stuff, which means me dealing with it when it contains paperwork or computers.

Think I've reached that part of my life where weddings and christenings are replaced by funerals and carers.
Currently one terminal cancer and one rapidly advancing dementia in my immediate family, which has nobody under 48 in it.

Random nerd moment. These modules used to be ubiquitous, not seen so much these days. This one has been here a Long Time. They're quite distinctive.

Good start.

Unexpected day off! Have a hospital appointment at 11, a call this afternoon and NOTHING ELSE TO DO!
Anyone allowed out to play, or are you all at work? (Rhetorical question, I know...)

I have been to the comic con. I met work friend and her bf, making a total of 3 of us from the 10 invited.
I bought nothing except lunch and water, enjoyed wandering about, and now it's home time.

BBC London is doing a whole show on phone-snatching, and if you watched this you'd think that the Met is wholly and entirely dedicated to catching the little scrotes. The Met press office must be absolutely delighted at the unquestioning coverage this is giving them.

Slight tangent on related topic- using fingerprint unlock on your right hand only makes it very unlikely you'll use that phone whilst driving, and very visible if you do.
Good deterrent in its own right, and very useful when anyone accuses you of phone use while driving.

and yes, I know this makes doing stuff on your phone a bit more of a pain, but there's a real trade-off between friction and security. Up to you to make the decision on that trade-off, but I think it's worth it.
