  61.    <p>Our bathroom came with goldie lookin&#39; handles instead of silvery looking. Not sure how it happened I don&#39;t remember choosing the cupboard door handles, but those gold ones were not the ones in the show room. They do look nice, but everything else is stainless steel. <a href="/wiki/#wickes">Wickes</a> have sent new ones now, and we&#39;ve got the other things that weren&#39;t considered at the time now too. Important stuff, a <a href="/wiki/#toilet">toilet</a> roll holder for example. So now the fitter can come back to sort this, and then we have no more reasons not to sign the job off and actually start paying for it. We&#39;ve got an interest free loan over two or three years. That will <a href="/wiki/#fly">fly</a> by.</p>
  62. <p>Maybe I&#39;ll be retired by the time it is paid off? Hoping so today, I have woken up very tired again. This clock changing lark seems to have wiped me out, I&#39;m tired at night by 9pm and I&#39;m tired when I have to get up at 6.30am.</p>
  63. <p>At least I do not have to do the 1am to 5am shift at <a href="/wiki/#work">work</a> this week, someone else has volunteered. I was considering it as it could be extra money. As it was this morning at 1am though a) I would have struggled being this tired and b) that does not really get me out of going to <a href="/wiki/#london">London</a> this week. So, I have no extra money, and I have to pay to go into <a href="/wiki/#london">London</a> on Thursday. And it&#39;s not even the day of pay like I thought it was, that is next Friday.</p>
  64. <p>Watched a new <a href="/wiki/#tv">TV</a> show that I think I quite like, The Last Frontier. It starts with a plane crash like all good <a href="/wiki/#tv">TV</a> shows, but this plane is full of dangerous prisoners and it crashes in Alaska.</p>

  173.    <time datetime="2025-10-27T08:36:53.000Z">Mon Oct 27</time>
  174.    <p>Mum and Dad visiting so we&#39;ve had a great weekend, eating and living well. Wife made a vege <a href="/wiki/#chilli">chilli</a> for everyone Friday night and we had some nice Alsace <a href="/wiki/#wine">wine</a> from <a href="/wiki/#wine">The Wine</a> Society, haven&#39;t done an order for ages. Saturday <a href="/wiki/#parkrun">parkrun</a>, I got there late so my time looks quite bad, but also I found it quite hard going, like moving my legs through treacle at points. Not sure what that was. Saturday we went into <a href="/wiki/#hythe">Hythe</a> just for a bimble but I got some Queen <a href="/wiki/#vinyl">vinyl</a> in a <a href="/wiki/#charity">charity</a> shop. Not a 50p bargain or anything, they know what they&#39;re selling, but a good quality copy of <a href="/wiki/#game">The Game</a>, pleased with that. When we got back we went to <a href="/wiki/#pool/table">play pool</a> at <a href="/wiki/#fountain">The Fountain</a>. Fun, but it&#39;s still not a good pub. <a href="/wiki/#beer">Beer</a> a bit off, surely that is what is keeping people away? Then we came back to mostly watch big <a href="/wiki/#mouse">mouse</a> eating the apples off the tree in the garden. They&#39;re all gone now, and the tree is going soon. Then a <a href="/wiki/#curry">curry</a> delivery from Clay Oven and <a href="/wiki/#strictly/come/dancing">Strictly Come Dancing</a>.</p>
  175. <p>Sunday getting the jobs out of the way, then briefly to <a href="/wiki/#potting/shed">The Potting Shed</a>. This is becoming a nice Sunday afternoon tradition just in time for it to probably not be possible. It&#39;s closed this week for a <a href="/wiki/#holiday">holiday</a>, but it&#39;s going to be changing hands in <a href="/wiki/#new/year">the new year</a> I think. Good thing about it being the last day before a <a href="/wiki/#holiday">holiday</a>, he stayed open a bit later and gave all <a href="/wiki/#beer">the beer</a> away free in the last hour!</p>
  176. <p>All back to <a href="/wiki/#work">work</a> and <a href="/wiki/#school">school</a> today. I think T2 has remembered his <a href="/wiki/#guitar">guitar</a>, and I know T1 has forgotten his lunch. <a href="/wiki/#arrabiata">Arrabiata</a> sauce is in <a href="/wiki/#ninja">the Ninja</a> right now, so I must clear up and start <a href="/wiki/#work">work</a>. Wife is in <a href="/wiki/#london">London</a> today and she did not <a href="/wiki/#sleep">sleep</a> well so she&#39;s not too happy about that.</p>
  177. <p>It is warmer today than yesterday, yesterday <a href="/wiki/#heating">heating</a> came on, today not.</p>
  178. <p><em>Gusty winds and sunny intervals, 9 - 13℃.</em></p>

  232. <p>I got there just after it started, so I wasn&#39;t actually as slow as that. But not far off, did feel like an effort today.</p>
  233. <p>Another <a href="/wiki/#thurman">Thurman</a> gig exactly thirty years ago today. Also I think I put that <a href="/wiki/#radiohead">Radiohead</a> gig in with the wrong date.

It was a <a href="/wiki/#premium/bonds">premium bonds</a> win, and because of the rip it couldn&#39;t be done online. It also wouldn&#39;t work in the machine but someone did it in person for us in the end. That&#39;s what we wanted all along before she made us try the machine. Also collected T1&#39;s suit from the dry cleaner, and went in the supermarket for some last minute ingredients for tonights spag bol. All this in a lunch break! Meant I had no time for actual lunch, I had cereal.</p>
  330. <p>Busy at <a href="/wiki/#work">work</a>. </p>
  331. <p>No <a href="/wiki/#exercise">exercise</a> this week, shocking <a href="/wiki/#step/count">step count</a>. The others are going out to a <a href="/wiki/#quiz">quiz</a> tonight, but I&#39;m going to sit. Last night I slept about eleven hours again, done that three days this week since my all nighters. I do feel rested now, hope I can <a href="/wiki/#sleep">sleep</a> later. I will be watching some Slow Horses on <a href="/wiki/#tv">TV</a>.</p>
