Just So Mum Stops Nagging …

The Moon and Venus over Norwich Cathedral as I left work this evening.

If anyone's still looking in, I'll be back once my current work-frenzy is over and I'll start to pop in on your blogs again soon.

In the meantime, have a great weekend.

WTF Monday - Where Not To Locate Your Car Dealership

Wandering around Downham Market after Friday's meeting, while attempting to clear my head I came across a car dealership on the corner of this beautifully named road.
Rather ungallantly, they hadn't named the dealership "Cock Drove Motors".
I wonder about their clientele.

Meanwhile …

I'm in the middle of getting a big contract ready for tender and have meetings flying out my ass like evil winged monkeys, so I've been steering clear of the interweb for a while and will be for a while yet.

I couldn't help but post this afternoon's sunset from my office window, however.

Enjoy!
I'll visit when I can and hope to be back in action in a week or two.

Blog-Dried Again …

It happens from time to time: my old brain just gives up and goes off for a lie down. I could sit and stare at this screen until my eyes fell out and still not think of anything to write about (at least nothing worth reading), so I'm going to switch the pooter off and join the Occupy movement for a bit, occupying my sofa with a stack of books while I try to recharge my blog mojo.
Later, peeps …

Moan, Moan, Moan

Stupid weather …
Damned storm kept me awake all night. Now I'm a grouchy, overtired Mister Grumpytrousers and the smegging winds aren't due to ease until about 2018.
Arse!

So Farewell Then, Ronald Searle.

Not since Edward Gorey has there been an illustrator quite so magnificently  attuned to my own worldview.
Bless his cotton socks. He leaves a hole in the world that isn't going to heal over.

Back To Work

Bitterly cold, rain lashing in 80mph gusts. The bleary-eyed flabby old man empties the spiders out of his work shoes, half-strangles himself with a tie and shivers his way to work after the Christmas break, having completed none of the tasks he set himself over the holidays.
Here comes 2012 and it doesn't look good.

WTF Monday - Slurp Hot Juices

Start the year as you mean to go on …

Hey Ho … Time To Cringe From Another Year

How Was It For You?

So that was 2011, was it?
Well, good riddance to the smegger. I'm putting it up on eBay but if nobody wants it by tonight it's going right in the trash where it belongs. If 2012 is no better I'm cancelling my subscription.
