So... How'd Your Day Go?

Replaced the starter solenoid in the old truck. Worked fine for me. Still acts up for my son (I don't think the truck likes him). There's a short in the starting circuit somewhere.
Or just the usual ghost in the machine.
Picked a bucket of apples from our tree. Now all I have to do is peel, core / slice, dehydrate with cinnamon and sugar. There's most of the day.
If I have any time left, I really need a haircut. My anniversary is coming up. I think the missus wants me to look respectable. Right.

Couldn't get to sleep until 10pm.


Had nightmares all night.


Woke up with a panic attack.


I hate nights like these...

Spent the weekend in my childhood home, went to a reunion with family I haven't seen since that time.

Every room too small. Every face a stranger.

I don't belong to that world.

The past is a foreign country. I don't want to look back.

If she is anything like mine, yes, but you won't achieve it to her satisfaction. On the other hand she may be a bit less dissatisfied.

Today I received a newsletter from the former pupils' association at my old school. It included an announcement of this year's founder's day dinner, a very auspicious and expensive black tie event which I never attend. However, the item appeared under the heading "Founders Day Diner", so maybe it's going to be more casual this year. If they're offering fries and a milkshake on the side I might be tempted to go.

It was mentioned that the chairman of the dinner would be a former Lord Mayor of London, which is pretty much par for the course, and the respondent to his speech would be a former pupil, no surprise there either. However, this event being typical of the old boy network, that respondent just happens to have once been employed as ... speech-writer to the Lord Mayor of London. Well, surprise surprise. Perhaps I'll try a cheaper diner.

It's our anniversary today. Just getting ready to go out. But we had a parcel that was coming in and needed a signature.
The parcel just came in. I ordered some silver coins, random year bullion American Eagle dollars.
We were married in 1992. The "random" year on the coins that came in today? 1992. All of them.

Were you not educated to attend such events? Something has got out of sync., though I suppose if they got it bang on to suit ex-pupils and they all turned up ...

Due to a snafu, half our staff had their badges deactivated on 1 August. This also lost us network account privileges and stuff. So I'm working from home for the next week at a minimum while they untangle the mess.

Got to sleep in late. Had big plans for the morning,
haven't moved yet.

It's her day for working in Battle library and I was thinking of trying a casserole idea for when she gets home. As she went out the door she said, 'I don't want anything hot, salad would be nice, there are burger buns in the cupboard need using.' Veggie burgers and salad then, well it's simple.
