Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oof, that is terrible. I am still crossing my fingers that the construction near my office continues to be as not-bad as it's been so far.
Oh! That reminds me! There is some utility work going on also (related? who knows!) and the other day, I walked by one of the workers really pissed off -- he threw his helmet down on the ground! But I literally couldn't tell he was actually mad until I walked by, because the other guy, facing me, was just laughing. Yikes! That's a hell of a way to start your day.
Yeah, well, I can tell there might be some helmet-flinging with this job. They took the job with a planned 800 ft. per day. They're not making 200 ft., and I've no doubt negotiations will soon be underway to adjust their fee accordingly.
Ah well. Water is good.
Water is definitely a plus.
The bedrock was probably why the original city planners went with garden hoses and pixie sticks. Then buried the original assay way in the back of the planning office (in a box marked "Beware of the Leopard.")
Woe, the lettuce in my Jar of Salad froze (I think because I left it in the work fridge overnight, although I'd better check the jars in my fridge when I get home) and I forgot to bring my paperback. I am not winning at lunch today.
Am not listening to construction though,so that's nice.
I just had a plumber over to discuss ripping out a bunch of pipes and maybe walls and who knows what so we can have good clear water.
Timelies all!
Busy day today. We changed hotels, went to the Victoria and Albert Museum, walked around Hyde Park a bit, hit Forbidden Planet, had dinner and just got back to our hotel. Unfortunately, I seem to be battling a bit of con crud.
Tomorrow we go to Bletchley Park.
The librarian on phone duty right now is fielding a call from a patron who wants to know about the nutritional value of manna. Ah, public library life.
Does Whole Foods carry manna now?
