The Importance of Being Idle

Darwin Award Nominations

The past couple of days have been hard work. I've been doing the London run again, no surprises there, but for reasons that are somewhat beyond me I've been utterly exhaused by it, to the extent that when I got home last night I just fell asleep on the couch until it was time for me to fall asleep in my bed.
Today was okay though, and I saw something which entertained me mightily. Basically, it was a home made version of those cradles that window cleaners use to clean the windows of high rise buildings, except this one was two blokes in a wheelie bin gingerly lowering themselves off the roof of a pub! I can't imagine the contraption stayed in one piece for very long, but sadly my delivery drivers schedule had me away down the road before I could witness their spectacular descent to earth. Shame.
I also visited the Guild Hall today, and was stunned by the almost total lack of security. Basically I told them I had a delivery and was waved through to wander the corridors of power wherever I should choose. I only went where I was supposed to go, but it struck me as odd that nobody checked the manifest, my ID, hell I didn't even have to sign in! Totally weird.
It is apparently going to get colder as we approach the weekend. This is not good news as I think I almost shivered myself to death last night! Can't say I'm looking forward to my 3.30am start on Friday!
Incidentally, I wonder if there really are nominations for the Darwin awards? Probably, but I just can't be bothered to look it up and confirm or deny.
