Lunchtime Rush

So it's the second day this week I've to go into work, I've got a couple of 3 day weeks a head of me, but all in all the money is welcome considering the shortfall I am suffering this month what with new tyres and hotel visits.

The day is filled with enough to keep me busy and at lunchtime I've got more than enough errands to run to fill the whole hour and some.

I've got to go to the bank, the post office, get some lunch, buy a mallet (for our camping trip) and get some eye wash for Phil since his eye went a big gammy yesterday. Now that doesn't sound too much to do in all honesty, but when you factor in the amount of time required queuing for any particular service that you desire, it could easily run into several hours. It seems to be that the fine art of forming an orderly line in anticipation of being served by a rude and incompetent (and all too often lethargic) reject from the gene pool is common place here in the UK, and something you just learn to live with.

I eventually get back to work where I then embark upon a mammoth update of one of the websites we maintain. Apparently we need meta description and keyword tags putting into every page... funny, I thought most worthwhile search engines ignored that sort of thing completely because of previous misuse and abuse. But who am I to argue, I'll just get on with it. It's more likely the site will be listed because the content has been updated, not because of how they've chosen to describe it.

Back home and I am faffing around with the camera some more whilst waiting for Phil to come home. We're thinking of entering the Photo Friday competition at some point, so the more practice the better. The latest photos are situated here for your viewing pleasure.

There is still no food in the house as we haven't been shopping, and this late on in the week it seems pointless doing a big shop as we are away again for the weekend, this time camping. So we settle on Chinese, which was nice.. and I then watch White Chicks while poor old Phil does some more work. The film isn't too bad, and a bit of light relief in comparison to the doom-mongering which is inevitably on the rest of the broadcasting network.
