Right …
Right at the moment, I’ve managed to get up, half an hour earlier.
That way … ?
I can get the usual stuff done that I need to do.
Then head off for the interview I’m due to have in Harold Wood.
Or, at least, the nearby Harold Hill area.
Personally … ?
Getting there is no issue.
Finding the place … could be awkward …
I’m hoping Google Maps can help!
At any rate … ?
This is not a day to be procrastinating, fannying about or playing silly buggers.
So, of course …
Today’s the day Blogspot decides it’s going to give me gyp, uploading the photo and video …
Wouldn’t you bloody well know it … ?

Have a good day.
* Fingers, legs, eyes, toes, major intestines, wires, cheques, es text … ! I’m crossing the lot, Olga! Hopefully, I won’t fall over … (I’m thinking of a scene in Terry Pratchett’s Pyramids. The main character’s a recently graduated assassin. On his first job, he’s using a mirror to help put the complete kit on … and then topples over …)
† Yeah … that sounds like a clue, Debbi … you notice I’m saying nothing … !?
