Sunday night

[caddyman]

It must be Sunday evening. I have ironed my shirts for the week; that's one sign.The other sign is largely confined to wondering what happened to the two days since Friday night and why I still feel so tired.

Next weekend is GASP, where a bunch of us disappear off for a long weekend and have an early Christmas the way we want it and not the way our well-meaning families engineer it. That means a four day weekend, which will be very welcome. I expect that work for the next four days will be tiresome beyond belief. Now the consultation is out there, we will have a couple of days to fill the sandbags, dig the trenches and unroll the barbed wire. After that it will be a case of sitting under the desk, wearing a tin hat and eating bully beef direct from the can with a bayonet. This being the Athenaeum Club, of course we have a WW2 stylee Tin Hat¹.



Note the fine collection of chins not quite hidden by increasingly grey beard. And the grandad shirt. Who do you think you're kidding, Mr Hitler?


¹It's plastic of course, but even close up it looks real.

That's one kick-ass grandad shirt, btw.

Ah the "ever efficient to produce but resulted in significantly higher head and neck casualty rates for british soldiers" tin hat....

Sunday? Were you not too busy losing the final of the Grand Slam of Darts under your Andy Hamilton alter ego then? ;-D

That was my robotic double.

Needs maintenance.
