Someone in a BMW has been pulled by the police for drunk driving outside my house and their car is getting impounded

Two arrested, police now leaving. No idea what that was about. Couldn't hear any disturbance this evening.

One arrested so far

Sat here watching crap on the internet and doing some coding on one of my far too many projects, police turned up for a house over the road. 1 car load and 2 van loads of coppers have so far gone in there.

Now out of hospital but another week of multiple oral antibiotics to go. Improving, but still feel pretty rotten.

Also, being on 12 IV bags of various medications per day is really wearing. No rest.

Today I have managed to eat roughly half an egg and an ounce or so of beef. I can't face eating right now, feel so sick all the time.

Being stuck on a hospital ward with IV antibiotics is really boring.also can't get any kip as staff are around every hour or for various checks.

I remember last time I was in the states and a lot of places still weren't even taking chip and PIN at point of sale, I still had to sign on an ELECTRONIC PAD for a debit card purchase. Mental.

Does it never rain shrimp where you live?

Another day of bright sunshine. This is unnatural for Lancashire and the reservoirs are massively down on normal levels for the time of year. Desperately need some rain.

It's interesting to note that governments across Europe are now indicating that tech contractors are no longer allowed to use US based software and services because of this. I hope the pushback against the constant bullying of the US continues.

At this point in time I think the only way to deal with America is for the rest of the world to keep raising retaliatory tariffs against the US until it's completely cut off from trade.
You want to be isolationist? Fine. Go fuck right off. Rest of can go do our own thing.

@eggbetr.net hope you're doing ok. Your state appears to be on fire again.
Stay safe.

Seems like you may as well

Cooking some dinner and then going to rot my brain with some movies I think

10 hours at work today of which 5 and a half were spent in meetings. Mentally draining.

Wesołych Świąt
Merry Christmas 🥰

Just over a week ago I ended up with a partial dislocation of my right shoulder. That was sorted but I think there's some residual internal damage as it's still surprisingly painful in use. Guess I'll go see a medical professional of some sort of it's still bad after Xmas.

Get a new knee off Temu for £10. Guaranteed to not fall apart for at least 15 seconds.

350g of honey roasted cashews and pecans, fresh out of the oven. So tasty.

Yes, yes I am. My first car had a manual choke!

At least the first track doesn't commit the sin of being unbearably bland, unlike Coldplay

In conclusion of today's motorbiking, the Africa Twin is a wonderful machine, but I prefer the old git comfort of my NT1100 😀

Whilst I appreciate the free flu jab from the NHS every year, I do wish it didn't make my shoulder hurt so damn much.
