If you weren't an SEL geek, you'd never know they were electronic.

These technology innovations have completely destroyed the pricing gun industry

Remembering my bike has heated grips! A welcome extra for tonights ride home for sure!

I have a savoury tooth rather than sweet tooth, but once or twice a month a buy a couple of bars of choc to put in freezer.
Farking lovely it is.
Got my 2 fave bars on way home tonight, then saw a mega sized strawberry cheesecake bar. Well, it's bloody scrummy. And HUGE

Got a right sugar buzz

I have finally been paid.... for september!!

Hopefully this means that thr rest is coming too

And another from me !!


Barclaycard have refunded the £93 I paid Aliexpress for that instrument cluster for my KTM that wasn't !

I'm on a roll, I just bought a replacement dashboard from ebay for £150!!

So, I'm sure I mentioned that last winter my boss and I had a difficult few weeks and end of season. But, I have been chuffed that we were able to get past it as recently we've been back to laughing and joking at work again.

Today - I've just had a phone call from him. Not about work. But to sing me happy birthday!!

Not just happy birthday but happy birthday in English!! He and his wife called just for that!! How cool

It's a little known fact that French people shouting 'You're fired, you useless twazzock!' down the telephone repeatedly sounds remarkably like the English rendition of 'Happy Birthday to You'.

Fact.

I bet she fell off the chair in excitement and broke something

Squid. I love it. Never been able to cook it though, well, until just now. Bought some raw frozen, squid rings today and threw some in a hot pan with chili and garlic and added some samphire too. Squid came out perfect, but i'd not bother with samphire again. I'm now enjoying the seafoody aftertaste with a warm chili glow around my mouth!

100% sure I have not been (although it seemed like a few of the 7 young (too young) men I drove from the airport to Val Thorens may well have been up for something along those lines )

However my boss did tell me today that he wants to talk to me about a permanent contract

TBF, I did get a decent pay rise for this season after last, so he's pretty fair! Ok, I asked for it, but he said yes I'm still going to try and work 3 days a week as then I can do stuff like visit friends in other parts of france in the summer

If my boss called me at home to sing happy birthday I'd probably tell HR

But, my boss isn't a stalker!

Williams Brothers Brewing Co.

I discovered them a few month before being diagnosed at Coeliac and was working my way through the range of beers. Gutted it was taken away from me and he only real choice of beers was Shitty lagers out supermarkets or expensive mail order stuff. Anyway i was in Aldi the other night drooling at the beers and picked up a bottle from Williams Brothers. Turned to read the back and in big letters Gluten Free As was the next flavour and the next Bought some and came home to look at the web site only to find out they are slowly making them all Gluten free

Two cases are in the post for Christmas

Gremlinette coming home from uni. She struggled settling in and being away from home, etc.

But she's back to her old self now. I told her this afternoon that she's got her sparkle back. She agrees.

I used to do a lot of work at Unis and its a known thing that a lot of Freshers really struggle. There was supposedly a big move for more support for them with more inclusion and noob groups etc. Its a tough time for a lot of them, first time away from the love and luxuries of home etc.

In an example of the weird way human brains work, Christmas is my mind is now indelibly linked with my Fresher's year at Uni.

Its not even like something particularly unusual or memorable happened, outside the obvious moving out thing etc.

But yeah, one of the first things I think of regarding Christmas was being sat in my halls in the last week of term waiting to leave

Come Jan 2nd I was dying to get back to Uni and get pissed.
