I was drinking in a garden with a load of middle aged women all day and night.
It was ace but I didn't fit in so drank to make up for it. I hope I didn't embarrass myself. I probably did. I actually can't move without this pounding headache mocking me.

Afternoon
I've had a bacon and egg sandwich and exposed my pale blue bits to the big yellow sky fire a little. Now sitting back inside with an ice lolly and the grand prix. I might take a nap in a bit, the grand prix usually does that to me.

Just took a wander round to the cool side of the building so that baby tangle could fall asleep on my shoulder and have stumbled upon an ensemble playing in the music centre.
Not sure what the piece is, it sounds like Bernstein, but it sounds great.

I got a letter from the tax man about my work in the cab office this weekend.
They didn't pay any tax for my employment, and are claiming they paid me gross and I should have paid my tax out of that, so there is a bill of about a grand.
I'm gonna speak to my accountant on monday, and I'll say "Well, I was being paid £5/hour, so I thought that was net, given the fact that it would be illegal to pay that to me gross". I might have net/gross the other way 'round,

I'll even ignore the fact that I was threatened with £1/minute fine for being late whilst being paid iligal wages. And the fact that I bought countless rolls of toilet paper out of my own pocket because you wouldn't supply those facilities. And the fact that you still owe me £800 for the website you never paid for.... and I won't encouridge the other staff who were treated the same, or even worst should they not have a willy between their legs, to do the exact same".
