Missed a few days of recording the happyness in my day, this has mostly been caused by a bit of a head cold..
Anyway there has been some good from the last few days..
1) Being able to work from home.. saved me battling into the office on Tuesday when I felt miserable.
2) Our Moo getting married..
3) A short lunchtime walk in the city in the sunshine.
4) Getting a seat on both of today’s train journeys.
5) Sinex nasal spray for letting me be able to breathe.
I don’t offen watch the adverts, which is because most of the time they just wind me up..
So there is an advert for the Citroen C1, a chap and a girl are waiting for a bus, (note the subtle message that waiting for a bus is boring and buses are a poor choice for getting around.)
Anyway, on the bus stop is an advert for the car, the chap gets bored waiting, so walks around the back of the bus stop gets in the car and drives it out of the advert and onto the road. Looks smug at the young girl at the bus shop and drives off.
From this I learned..
1) Buses are for losers.
2) The security on the Citroen C1 is rubbish, a chap just can walk up and drive it away.
3) People who drive Citroen C1’s are self centered..
But my biggest problem with the advert is that the chap, looks smugly at the girl who he has abandoned at the bus stop and drives off.. The completely selfish git.
If the bus is so late that your willing to steal a car, but your not willing to help out a fellow traveller. That is just low.
Now I understand that that the advertising company made a mistake here.. a young girl cannot get into a strangers car in an advert, that would open them up to trouble. But it wouldn’t have been hard for it to have been a couple, or in some way indicated that he was a dad, or something.
Just leaving them is low.
1) Meeting friends in Camden, I’ve not been out to Camden on a very long time. So it was a good excuse to goth up a bit. Although it was a bit disconcerting to be one of the only goths in Camden.
2) Taking a newbie goth into the New Rock shop.. there was squeeing and everything..
3) Buying a new bowler hat, so that I can look dapper on my way to work. On the occasions that I’m not on the bike.
1) Listening to the rain first thing in the morning, and turning the alarm clock off, and deciding to have a lie in and be lazy..
2) An afternoon nap, I’ve a tohch of a cold, so it was a bit more necessary than I would like, but it was still very nice.
3) Out at a friend’s 60th, and random conversations about bicycles, bond movies, and stuff.. It was ni e to be out and a little social.
1) Got a seat on the train, really wasn’t expecting that..
2) Pizza for lunch, even better it was paid for by work.
3) Popping out for a quick pint with people from work, got to chat to a few and learn a bit more, which was good.
4) We had a chap fitting blinds in the office this week. He cut off the end of the bag to drill through and use as a dust catcher.. I thought that was genius.
1) Really enjoyed completing the XKCD survey.. https://xkcd.com/1572/ it will be really interesting to see the resulting datasets eventually.
2) Erm..
3) Bugger can’t think of anything today, it’s not been a bad day, I’ve been busy at work, had a meeting that was a whole heap less disastrous than I expected, which was good but not really happy. So I’m a bit stuck for ideas.. Oh well.. tomorrow is another day, and I suspect that will be better as I have pizza and drinks after work to look forward to.
1) Had a puncture this morning, which is frustrating, what makes it a happy moment, is that I got to fix it while I stood in a small pocket of warm sunshine, which given it was a chilly morning, and if I had punctured yesterday it would have been in the rain.
2) Another dry ride home over wet roads having missed more heavy rain, got to see another rainbow.
3) As of today I’ve been at my new job* for 6mths and 2 days.. Which makes it the longest I have held a job in the last 3 years.
* I guess that means that if isn’t all that new anymore.
1) Watching the heavy rain from the office and being able to delay my journey until the worst of it has passed.. which meant I made it home mostly dry, and got to see a bright rainbow for most of the journey.
2) Popping into next door for a chat and gossip after work.
3) Being introduced to Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo on YouTube. Utterly brilliant! And very funny.
