Exactly. It’s a good illustration of the concept. Had they reinvented themselves before the move it might have worked. But they didn’t, and it doesn’t.

We're on holiday again (did I say?), a caravan in Poole, about two miles from where I work. We've brought both cars so I can immediately go to work on Monday but I've come down with a stinking cold so I might have to commute to my house to work from home. I've done in a full box of tissues already, now I'm shredding my nose with budget toilet paper.
There's next to no signal here, last night we watched a couple of films on the laptop, I had the Sophie Turner film where she's in a plane crash, half way through Laura tells me this isn't the story she was expecting. Seems Sophie Turner has been in two plane crash films, good way to beat the Sansa Stark typecast I guess?

After a gruelling week, I planned to sleep in this morning til at least 11.00. But of course I woke and sat bolt upright at 5.30. So, went for a long and pleasant, early riverside hike. I was treated to the sight a of a large eagle keeping me company for a stretch, and then watched it flap furiously against the wind trying to keep station above the river, until it dropped like a stone. I didn't see it after that so guess it caught something. Good fishing in that part.

Just been trying to assemble a twelve piece child's jigsaw, took me a while to realise it was an amalgamation of three separate jigsaws. Brain's not working today.

You need to get out of that caravan.

I leave tomorrow morning, driving straight to work. Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Well you beat the forecasted time it should take. The boxes say “3 to 5 years”

Today I have decided I should give up on my Landrover and buy a more reliable pile of rust. It has been in a garage for 7 weeks as it was suffering from a fuel supply problem and needed a bit of welding on the chassis. In theory they were taking it for an MOT but it broke down en route.. I managed to keep it running for 8 years but gave it to real mechanics as I'm reaching the stage when I dont have the energy to bother anymore. The twats were at a loss to what the fuel problem was, I told them that they needed to replace the MAF and crank sensor and itbwould solve the problem for less than £100. Fucking morons.
How did you know that? they said.
Same as every problem I've ever had with it. I fuckin googled common TD5 problems
I'm about to buy a nissan X trail with full service history with 2 owners from new for 3k..

Like losing an old friend. My condolences.
Really hoping the building switch over from heat to cool soon. It has been warm enough for ages. The last three times they've switched over there has been a gap between switching off the one service and switching on the other, but not this time.
The way the system works means my apartment has two heat exchangers which are permanently fed (hot in the winter, cold in the summer, potentially off in the shoulder seasons) and the 'control' I have is whether or not the fan is running, and if it is how fast it is.
Shutting the system down in the shoulder seasons makes sense - it must reduce the cost to the building, it also means the fabric of the building isn't being cooled or warmed when it doesn't need to be, and it means in the spring I could run the fans to move the air around.
