Back to the salt mine today. Got through the first five hours, and I’m having a break in the nearby coffee shop. I did bring a coffee to work from home, but I’ve drunk that already. I only had about 3.5 hours sleep last night, so I’m yawning my head off now. I love coffee, but it doesn’t wake me up!

Not a brand of crisps that you see too often these days!

Why the fuck do these assholes get bonuses? What for? For pumping more shit into our rivers?

@thameswater still paid £4.1m in bonuses to senior staff not covered by the ban.

The quiet before the storm? A day off today, and then working 2-10 all week. Yuck.

Been into the garden and watered the veggies. It’s a pain in the backside with a watering can, but we haven’t had any rain for a while, and the useless water companies haven’t invested in any additional reservoirs, just pocketed the profits instead.

2-10 at the salt mine for the next seven days, except the weekend, which is even later. Sigh.

I tried to sleep in a bit this morning but, alas, it didn’t work. Still awake soon after six. Working until 10.30 pm messes up my sleep pattern. I’m usually asleep by ten. Wife’s alarm goes off just after six. That’s it then, I’m awake.

Giving my ears a clean out, with some PsyTrance this morning. Philosophy, an album I found on Qobuz. Well, Room found it for me, actually.

Another day at the salt mine. Yawn. Already looking forward to getting home around 11pm.

Today will be fun. NOT. Awake after five hours of sleep, and today I have to work from 5 pm to 2 am. I think the body state after that, plus 3 pm to midnight tomorrow begins with an ‘F’.
