Does your P60/P45 not give all the information you need?

Today I mostly:

Changed the oil and filter in the Saab.

No dramas to report - because I put them both on last time so they weren't stupidly tight! Astonishing how much less stressful that makes things.

Need to get a thermostat ordered as she's running a bit cool now the weather's turned and it's making the heater take forever to warm up unless you're in town!

Got a call to one of our offices for a dead server, twice in two weeks both times trip switch had tripped. A quick check of the UPS looks like the batteries are duff. Anyways, while down there took a picture of the view from just outside the office window

Well, to their defence the only thing I've ever reversed into was a Mitsibushi L200 with box on the back. Felt a right idiot.

No damage to either vehicle though, so that was a bonus!

Lesson learned there about haste, speed, rushing to meetings etc...

Today I mostly went to a rally at Oulton Park race circuit. Good day doing radio and watching over the chicane with some incidents with cars taking out the chicane.

Oh and bumped in Matt who is James's close friend (Hoodoos Panda)

Goodbye band 3 assistant patient safety coordinator for surgery data entry, hello band 5 patient safety coordinator for theatre audit taking. and you never know once the bills are paid and we are in the black (or as close as dammit) there may be just enough extra cash left over for a second car, a cheap car, a Russian cheap car, for me, maybe, please.....................

Drove from Banbury to Aberdeen.

Nice uneventful trip. No navigational messups either for a change!

Darn well shouldn't be for that matter...done the trip enough times by now...

Few minutes short of 8 hours including stops, so not bad going (especially bearing in mind that I drive like most people's grandfather - and the 107 isn't a fan of hills or headwinds).

Sleep now...
