Blog2025 ≫ I don't mind Monday mornings

Monday morning is my next chance to have a nice coffee from my own coffee machine! It's nice to have little things to look forward to isn't it? I didn't have time to have one yesterday. I got up just in time to receive the shopping delivery, then we went out looking for bathrooms, to Folkestone and Dover. No pub, though I had already been to the Potting Shed for a lovely Friday night of real ale and real cider, and then we all went to The Ship for our tea on Saturday, so I have not missed out.

This week I am "gardening" at work, that's the name given to our daytime support role. It can be ok, it can sometimes be rubbish if there are too many support tickets. Mostly the work is fending off the support tickets to other departments. I hope I can use some of the time to make some improvements too, make it less likely there are support tickets in future. No extra money for performing this function, but I did put in my request for payment for the four days out of hours on cover I did before Glastonbury, so that will be handy.

Will I get round to writing up some actual bands at Glastonbury? We'll see, I'll try.

Thirty years ago today I was at Beetle Bash. Remember when I used to have a beetle? It's been in for it's MOT for nearly a year now.

Estimated 2586 cups of coffee from my barista pro 1 prob'ly comes to £0.92 a cup (including 3+ years of coffee beans and now servicing 1 so not the 'leccy).
