That sounds like "fun". I can only imagine how interesting a zip wire expert can be.

Just been tinkering with the car replacing the rear washer jet and it's pipe, nice to get it working properly.
And just about to take it to my former employer for its MOT, should pass as it's in good condition with new brakes all around.



EDIT
Passed with no advisories (rock)

Well that was a short swing.

Having to fly home early again, the ex has managed to cause Byron to meltdown majorly again. He’d barricaded himself in his room and said if he can’t go to mine he’s going to run away. So heading back.


Going to have to work out a way for him to be at mine full time. Hoping I can use his funding to get a carer to help out when I’m offshore and Jess is on evenings or night shifts.

This play just needs to shut the f**k down so I can stay home.

Fixing a chest of drawers, and then maybe a clothes washer..??

...I'm not too optimistic about my chances with the latter, TBH.

Success!!! (Thank God for washer/dryer repair guys)
...So now I'm doing laundry and fine-tuning my riding position on my new mtb...it's a little too cramped and upright for my taste.

Off to London to see some friends. Going to the Millwall game. The nearest tube is closed so there's a 20 minute walk to the ground, which should be fun.

Just sat watching the rain and random youtube stuff, I woke up at a normal time today and think I'm suffering "Jet-lag" without even leaving the country... My job hunting is turning up a few other night shift positions but I really need to get off that nonsense.

I think we're still in the after Christmas slump where companies got rid of all the temporary positions and haven't started hiring again yet.

Doing my regular dance with Virgin Media about my account.

Service has been patchy again, so they offered me a deal.

Their best deal was £81.25. They couldn't do any better.

So I rejected it.

They came back with a new deal which included an upgrade to 1gb with a new hub, and they're throwing in Sky cinema. For £70. 😄. And I get to keep sky sports.
