Catching Up

Capers - sharp and salty suckers

I've spent the best part of today catching up with various things that I needed to do, which have been festering for a while.

They aren't difficult things by a long shot, but none the less they are a bit tricky and since I've not done anything on them for a while it takes me a while to find me feet so to speak with what it is I need to do and how to go about doing them - I get there in the end however and I'm quite happy with the progress I've made.

I also send off a letter to the insurers about my car so that they can get on with the work, and make use of the copy facility on the scanner, which despite my worries of being a whole heap of hassle (having to plug in the scanner and such) I've got to say it was a cinch - a case where plug and pray actually worked well, and just a button press later I had a dandy copy of what I wanted reeling of the printer.

Later on whilst I'm still faffing with things I have an interesting IM conversation with an old work colleague who may have a proposition for me - it's a tempting one to say the least, but would involve working in London for some days of the week even though they seem to offer very flexible working hours and are not adverse to remote working - a privilege I had to fight tooth and nail for in my previous job. I'm not sure if I'm in a position at the moment to take them up on the offer, but it was rather nice to have it mooted - so I've got a bit of mulling over to do on that front.

Phil doesn't leave work till 7pm again, and so by the time he gets back there is precious little time to do anything other than eat then sleep. Dinner was a success again, this time it was tuna pitta breads - really simple and quick to prepare, but the tuna mix of sweetcorn, capers, seasoning, spring onions and mayo was delicious (despite Phil's reservations about the capers!).
