So an action packed day...
Finished pricing a job this morning and delivered it to make bloody sure it arrived. Then off to the first site which turned out to be a complete waste of time since everybody had buggered off for materials. I found a note saying gone for gear back soon. Then realised the time and that I had agreed to pick my daughter and a friend up and drop them in Oxford, ahead of attending a talk on alternative energy at 10:30. Consequently, I had to move it!
Talking of alternative energy, I am trying so hard not to use the air con in my truck at the moment! Without wishing to sound bloody tight, it just drinks fuel! I must do half the mileage to the gallon that I would usually do with the aircon off. So I've started rationing the air con to just the times when I'm sitting in traffic and not the time i'm driving normally. Thus I drive around sweating my bollocks off and sit in the traffic in cool calm serenity. So back to the talk on PV and Solar panels, which was......er.....interesting although didn't learn much more than I knew already. Although I did pick up some pens, drill bits and note paper which I could burn at home and heat the water if things got really bad! Oh, by the way, did i dream it or was there a story on the mid morning news about a paragliding donkey? Slightly surreal i know, which is why I thought I might have imagined it.
So this afternoon we hit costco. I usually nip in on my own when i'm passing but after the last visit when I came out with more toilet rolls, paper towels, tinned tomatoes and bottled water than you could shake a stick at, my wife decided that I should be accompanied. TBH, we do still have enough loo rolls and water to support an army at home.....oh and tomatoes, but you never know whats around the corner. So todays mission was for disposable cups and spoons, and boy did we buy a lot of spoons. this stems from the fact that none of the people who work for me can be arsed to wash up and it was becoming a problem! So unfortunately it has to be the disposable route which is all bad! Anyway......shit is that the time? I'm supposed to be somewhere else...
Blog soon
