The occasion is the godawful weather (I actually make Okroshka almost every weekend during the summer, but it was extra good during the 30+°C this weekend) and there was no kvas since we use kefir in my family.

It was supposed to be a 6 month contract.
It turned into a year
A fucking nightmare of a job.
With a few hell weeks thrown into the mix.

But the Samsung experience center in Kings cross opened its doors today and we are at practical completion, anything else now is an extra or alteration.

We had our own wee end of job drink last night, was just me and the main site manager, then a few more of the management team and client joined us.

Everyone just fucking exhausted mentally by the place but delighted to be done with it.

One of the main contractors directors was with us, basically told me to keep my phone switched on when I'm off work for the next month, they're going to ring me with a job offer.

The second page of the New York Drivers Manual has an advert encouraging you to be an organ donor! This is some black comedy stuff.

Powerpuff save the day?

Anyway, I moved house. I am exhausted. But happy. Some work to do to ensure the old rental place is cleaned up, mind - we have the lease until the end of August.

Had a great weekend.

Finished work. On Friday met up with friends, went bowling
Saturday, met up with other friends, went to the school of rock musical
Sunday met up with sister and her husband and one of my best friends and her family, then we went to the Harry potter world place, absolutely unbelievable, QT you need to get there. Bring a spare pair of pjs.
And now packed up the rest of my tools and heading home to Ireland.
London - goodbye and good riddance

I’m working out hardcore! I feel good , been doing a solid set of 2x days and been doing the Hard 75 challenge.

My goal is to get this the best shape of my life and believe I can do it.

Eating perfect too. Hopefully I can keep this going for like 6-10 months !

One hot session and one lifting session , I run only like 3x week and hike once as it’s fucking hot out still

Got a present from my lady friend for my birthday.

I don't want to know how much this cost, I can't imagine it was cheap

It's just so awesome.
And heavy.

Wow!

Got the all clear after my final post-emergency surgery check up. Everything is healing ok and no obvious reasons why part of my insides decided to burst and give me internal bleeding. So lets all just keep our fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. Please.

[Slow Ben]

I went and saw Weird Al in concert at the Greek Theatre. It was called Strings Attached cuz there was a 40 piece orchestra supporting him and his band. Played a bunch of classics -- encore was The Saga Begins and Yoda.

You've been pretty vague about this. What exactly burst? An appendix? A spleen? A random blood vessel?

I would hope you weren't the sole survivor of the trip to the theatre to see him, accounting for your love of fixed-emplacement tableware and adjustable seating.
