    I am still trying to do work but OMG the outage is annoying for sure. I used to be 100% MS for everything but then 8 years ago I stated at my last job and I had to learn Google. I hated it at first and I really struggled but then I just got on with it and forgot all about MS. Now DG insists we use it for emails and word but it is so annoying. They way it takes ages to save on onedrive so we can both work on it compared to just sending the link and having two copies open in Google. She is not changing her mind so I am stuck with it but it is annoying even when there is not outage.

    I need to do one more letter then I can go and do something else like hang up the washing and I would still like to wash the car it really needs it and deserves it for being new and shinny.

    I have volunteered for another Danish film at the cinema so that will be great it is a Friday and DG is not going but I do want to see the film so should be nice.

    I have accepted the quote for the garden it was £800 but asked if it can be made ready for sowing grass so that will add some more to it but hopefully not more than £200. I know I keep saying it has to stop the spending on the garden but I cannot do this work and as he has the machines on site for next door it is cheaper to do it now rather than regret and then get him in later so needs must.

    I have also signed up for a webnar on Danish tax and investments I do really need it.

    My sister is going to Germany today so I have ordered a few bits. She does not know we went in secret last time and did not offer to take anything for her so I had to order but didnt want to go mad. I have ordered some Danish Slimfast to see if it is ok so we can switch over. The price is not to different but I am not sure how much it makes. Buying it in Boots to have delivered to the Airport not only cost £4.50 but it is twice the price of what you can buy it at SuperD so that is annoying and not MSE.

    Anyway best get on with this last stupid letter then I am done but DG still needs to check everything and she is super busy with some urgent deadline.
