Never ending days of grey. Is not cold but some nice warm sunshine would be great #weather

Why?

Ten hour shifts this week.

I get up, get ready and go to work. I c come home, eat a meal, chill will some music or a You Tube video and then go to bed. That’s the routine for the week until Sunday.

Pretty mundane really. Still I’m off Sunday and I’m looking forward to that.

Mind you, it could be. Same long work day, same dreary grey weather. Summer has definitely gone until next year.

Thought I’d give this protein drink a try. I’ve had their regular kefir, and they don’t full those products full of crab or sugar or sweeteners.

No come on, don’t be filthy, you lot.

We don’t have a TV in the bedroom, but we do have a stereo pair of Apple HomePod Minis, and they are surprisingly good for their size.

Being were an Apple household we can throw music and other audio all around the house and I was doing that with Roon this evening.

Miles Davis is a great listen but not conducive to sleep!

Jazz Cinema Paradise from The Tokyo Cinema Jazz Band.

It’s a collection of files on my A&K SR35 Hi-Res Player and I can’t find a link to anywhere online

I’m halfway through the working day. Having a break, which means #coffee, of course.

The day is still grey and dreary, although my mood is slightly lighter as it’s nearer to going home time.

This time of year isn’t my favourite. We’re heading towards darker evenings, shorter days, less sunshine and colder temperatures.

Still, the coffee is hot and good, as it always is here. Almost as good as making it at home!

Listening to a techno podcast while travelling on the bus to work - unlike some assholes, I’m wearing head phones!

A grey dreary day. Matches my mood really. Ten hour shifts this week which means I leave the house soon after eight in the morning and get back about eight in the evening.

Got up, made coffee, took it back to bed, read the news, next to sleeping beauty. Got up, washed and dressed, and made more coffee. Amazon delivery arrived. A bag of food-grade Diatomaceous Earth. I have found stink bugs on the beans in the back garden. The crop wasn’t affected, as the beans have almost finished, but I don’t want these bugs to spread, so I have turned to this organic solution. The DE won’t harm the plants or the soil, but it will kill the bugs. It also won’t kill other friendly critters like a regular insecticide would.

This evening I got an email from Ancestry.com with a Family Tree hint, so I delved into the depths of the tree for a couple of hours. I always find something new, which can be possible, or even a certainty.

In the UK, half of the welfare budget goes to in-work benefits — a direct subsidy to employers who pay wages too low to live on. #politics

They’re appearing in between podcasts/music in the UK too. I have been told this by several Spotify users who are angry about it, as it’s further dividing an already divided nation. It’s also totally irrelevant here in the UK, and shouldn’t be appearing if you have a premium subscription. I don’t have Spotify myself, as I switched to Tidal/Apple Music for better quality audio several years ago.

I know that Spotify is considered to have the best algorithm for suggesting new music. However, the sound quality isn’t there. Therefore, I use Tidal for lossless hi-res playback (of at least some of the library). Today, I’ve found that Tidal does a pretty good job suggesting other tracks I would like to listen to after playing an album. Some time back, it was just suggesting rap, and other stuff I didn’t care to listen to. #music

It’s so civilised. Sunday morning, make coffee around 7-8 am. Take it back to bed. Use my iPad to do the grocery shopping at Morrisons. Get up and have breakfast. After breakfast, usually 2-3 hours after placing the order, the groceries arrive. Plenty of time to make dinner, with some of what I’ve ordered. No need to sit in traffic, hauling bags on and off buses, and standing in lines at supermarkets. #shopping

It’s a good thing I’ve got a long weekend off. The jabs have left me with a high temperature, a headache, and feeling lethargic. I’ve just got out of bed at 2.15 pm. I am never one for lying in bed all day or sleeping in. I’ve made a mug of #coffee, and we’ll see how that works out. #medical.

2am and I wake up sweating with a temperature of 102.2° and two sore arms. The fever shouldn’t ..last more that a few hours.

Still it’s worth it if I don’t get flu or Covid this winter.

Anyone here read Jacobin? I’m reading the latest issue, although as I had to wait for it to wing its way across the pond, there will soon be another one out. I’m sure. #reading
