Bits and pieces

That took a while. For nearly two weeks I've been spotting the numbers 881 - 886, 288, 388 and not forgetting several 89s, a 90 and a 91. Still, I've kept the faith and my patience has been rewarded with an 88 in the car park of the Leeds office today, perched jauntily on a little black sports car. In other news I've finally been given my router so I can connect to my work system - I ordered it in January, so they've not exactly exerted themselves sorting this one out. It's supposedly plug and play, but I'll reserve judgement on that until I've plugged it in and played with it.

Yesterday was fun. It was spitting with rain when I set off to Tescos to browse the not very extensive range of sandwiches that are available there. No cheese and tomato, yet again, and by the time I set off back to the office it was persistantly raining and I got soaked. I couldn't see through my specs and I had to get a towel out of the kitchen to dry my hair with.

Last night, we had the first of the little men come to give us a quote for putting some paving slabs in the back garden , and we've got another one coming tonight as well. I have to nod my head and pretend to be knowledgable about different sorts of stone and the pros and cons of curved flower beds. It will be interesting to see what they come up with, and how much it is going to cost ...
