Monday, 18th August

Still mopping up the fallout of the holiday. I'm catching up on computing tasks, while Jane is cleaning and tidying. The girls are doing their thing.

Tuesday, 19th August

Overtime today - a night shift. I still hate nights (6 o'clock in the morning ought not to be allowed) but there's no other overtime going.

I've mislaid the triband mobile whip, so for the moment I'm using the dual-band stubby.

Rostered night shifts - so no posts.

Friday, 22nd August

That's the night shifts finished for a month or so - except for overtime, of which I've booked some but haven't heard yet.

Katy ordered herself a new pine double bed, so she's been clearing out her room - and fulminating at me about moving the $ky box from beside the sockets by the window to in front of the chimneybreast. This is about 10 feet, but the necessary cables aren't long enough, so I'll have to buy extensions. The cable for the mandatory 'phone connection is easy enough - I may even have one, if I can put my hand on it - but the cable from the dish is another matter.  Ideally, I'd like an F female to F male, 5 metres long or so, or an F male to F male together with a suitable barrel, but they're like hen's teeth locally. So it's a mail order job, and I need to spend UKP40 before tax to avoid shipping costs. But peace may require that. First I'll have to measure the run - I don't want to find myself a foot short. Later - once the ructions from bed-building are complete (they're in progress as I type)

Saturday, 23rd August

One of Jane's childminding clients is marrying her long-term partner (the father of Jane's charge) this afternoon, and we're all invited to attend.

Meanwhile, I've moved all the downloaded matter from the Nokia 770 to where it's required to be, long-term. This includes the notes I kept while we were away - and which I will post, RSN.
