Scuba's Saving the Ha'Pennies

I do, I just don't see as much of them as I'd like - but then who does.

Not so many salt mines in genteel Surrey, and I'm from a Northern Mill town, small children being used in the cotton and wool making process just makes sense to me.

It was only £1, but it's my first payment from them so good to know they do pay on schedule. Waiting for a payment from another app at the moment too that one's a bit more though, and need to try to find another task on task360 to get to their payment threshold - they have one about 3 miles from home which I might try to go do tomorrow once I've collected the bike.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

And that's where they're going wrong...

And I bet you can say "Trouble at t'mill" like a pro...

Traditional - like using them to clean chimneys...

I thought you were collecting that today?

I was meant to but decided to leave it until Tuesday as I also need some new running shoes which I can get a fitting for while I'm out but I wouldn't have had time to do on Monday.

New bike is shiney and gorgeous. New shoes are also shiney and lovely. And even more excitingly my swimable tail arrived and is also sparkly and lovely. :j

Need to make some small adjustments to the bike, raise the seat a fraction and put on it the light brackets and buy a new bottle cage, I only rode it a short distance (from the train station home) so no thoughts as yet on the seat but I think I'll go out for a short ride this evening when the traffic quiets down.

A sparkly and lovely day then.

Well? Is it OK, or are you drinking vodka to numb the pain?

Erm not quite. I picked up a mystery shop so went to the cinema instead.

Enjoyed a personal screening of The Huntsman.

Was nice to recognise the bits filmed near work - both the Ruins and the local Ponds they used for different bits.

Work blerch.

That is almost all.

Lake opens tomorrow currently trying to get in to the wetsuit. It's not going well.

Liberal amounts of butter to ease you in...

OK, am in the suit, can't zip it up but it's on.

Not sure I can get back out of it now though.

I'm sure that with alcofrolic drink and a close friend, this could have been an hilarious night...

I'm sure the suit will gradually ease off. If not, you're going to have to hope it's the equivalent of a "little black dress" and will blend into any social occasion...
