Blog2025 ≫ I get up when I want

No parkrun today. Knackered and felt sure it would be cancelled. Was that the tail end of a hurricane that hit us last night? Weather was very bad anyway.

Luckily was ok earlier when I went out. Was running very late indeed because of a long running support call at work. Have been on eight hour long calls for the past four days and an issue with an external supplier is still not resolved. It's going to result in us getting alert calls during our busy period now, and I might be on call for that, brilliant 1. Anyway, running late got the bus into Hythe. Nearly failed there, the first bus disappeared from the schedule and then I was walking past another stop when another one came. But made it, to The Three Mariners for a change as the Potting Shed was shut for a holiday. All the usual suspects had also migrated, it was great, like a pub holiday.

Walked back, finished Slow Horses, fell asleep during The Last Frontier and then went to bed.

Today we're off to Ashford, shoe shopping 2.

Thirty years since a great gig today, a Radio One show at the Camden Underworld, Menswear, Longpigs, and Fluffy. Great for the time anyway they don't all have the popular longevity of some bands of that era.

Light rain and a fresh breeze, 8 - 15℃.

  1. I am actually on call the following week in the even busier period, but hopefully it will be solved by then.
  2. Actually wasn't me in the end, just wife and T1, I am home with T2 sitting about and listening to records...
