It was 7: degrees when I got into my car to go to work this morning. We have a heater on in the office!

Fed up with this cold weather, and fed up with the after effects of the lurgi I picked up.

Are all out today celebrating Cinco De Mayo, calling their friends 'Amigos' and saying they are celebrating Mexican culture in the US.
we have our fair share of hypocrites too, you're not alone. Wasn't there a Trump supporter telling a native American to go home? (I may have dreamt that )

Happy (belated) Cinco de Mayo!

The boiler has packed up and I've broken the rear light off the push bike.

Finally a reply from Drift about the broken camera. ... asking me to send a photo of the camera, exactly the same as the first (and only) email they sent me at the start of this saga over a month ago now.
