Saturday 23rd October 2010

Saturday; eight forty two in the morning: just finished three bacon sandwiches and the second pint of tea. Outside it is windy and raining. Inside, the kittens are playing, the adult cats are slowly coming round to the idea that the kittens are not going anywhere and may be here for a while. Certainly there is less hissing and spitting, which is always good. Letting the cats in our bedroom at night is still a no-no, as the kittens see toes moving under the duvet as playthings to be chased. So, just Molly is allowed in the bedroom at night, but even then as the nights get colder she gets on the bed and as the night goes on, one medium sized cat takes over it all.



Anyway, it's going to be a quiet day today, no trips out. Maybe just to look at the waves crashing on the beach down in the bay. But a day of chores and housework, maybe listening to the football later and just relaxing.



Not that work stresses me out; maybe it should. But the work gets done, we get results and earn our keep. Which is good; we spotted a mistake with the project paperwork, which although is serious, better that we find it than the client. That will be put right, and we recovered some more money, and prepared for our trip to Denmark next week. Yes, the international travel has returned, with me heading with my boss to Copenhagen on Wednesday, and then driving to a town called Nakskov to see where the blades for the turbines are made and have quality meetings; that's meetings about quality; the quality of the meetings may well be poor; who knows?



There has been some splendid sunrises this week, with the sun edging over the horizon as I arrive at work; one morning I took my cameras to work and snapped the scene along to road to the port. And then to my subterranean office with it's one tiny window letting in daylight. I'm not complaining; I stream radio, not radio 1 either. My office is a Chris Moyles free-zone. and so I work the day, listening to the radio, making spreadsheets, reports and writing mails. Writing lots of mails.

And then the weekend comes. Oh, and we're making more beer today as well! Yay, beer!
