Celebrations- Jubilee, Pride etc. Accept that life is meaningless, the abyss beckons and we die alone. Plus I hate costumes and organised fun.
Available for weddings, birthdays etc to give some much needed perspective.
 
I became trapped for ten minutes in the downstairs shower room because the grub screw from the lock has fallen out and I couldn't disengage the bolt.

I have ordered 250 assorted grub screws from Amazon which will probably last several lifetimes.

Went to Stansted to Amsterdam on Friday, luckily only an hour or so delay so not that bad, but had a long day at work, up at 6am, worked, straight to Stansted, got to Amsterdam, got back to hostel at 6am. Brain is completely messed up.

Used to work 12 hour nights so I know what it's like. Best thing - get back to your normal waking up time asap.
 
As a student I had a summer job for 4 weeks working for UPS at Southend airport. I worked from midnight until 4.00am. I would go out with my mates for a drink, when they all went home to bed I went to work. I got into bed around 5.00am and slept until about lunchtime.

It couldn't have been any better really...until I started another one-week temp job at 9.00am on the first Monday morning after I finished, but hadn't got to sleep until 5.00am. I only got about 4 hours sleep each night that week. They asked me to go back and do a 2nd week and I said no for three reasons. Firstly, I has knackered, secondly the work was unbearably boring and thirdly I'd earnt so much money I didn't need to work any more that summer. (I actually earnt more in that one week than I did in the entire four weeks at the airport.)

Cats. Got a problem with various cats coming into our garden and littering, killing birds and leaving the remains and today have found that where they keep jumping up the fence to go to another gardem they have managed to break the wire to my lights that run around my fence. I've now got about 2 metres of working lights and 8 metres of just wire.

Looks like I'll be ordering some fence spikes.

If by littering you mean doing their business, I suspect that isn't cats. Cats bury their ****.

The German chap has a solution right here. I wouldn't suggest trying anything from his other videos though.

 
The road outside has been resurfaced over the last few days and they don't start until 9.30 to allow people to get to work. Its also bin day and they usually come early, around 6.30 - 7. Have they been today? No.
Is it going to be really hot and the bags & bins will crawl with maggots by next friday. Yes.

#facepalm.
