6th August, 2021.
It’s official: I’ve got my bath towels washing.
Which you possibly didn’t want to know.
Frankly, I’ve put them through, a day or two earlier.
Because of spaghetti.
I made a batch of spaghetti sauce, last night.
And, as I usually do, made sure I filled the sink: so I could clean some utensils as I went.
And … ?
And, I hear you ask … ?
I took my eye off the metaphorical board.
And ended up with a soaked floor: that need two towels to mop up!

I’m jobhunting: you’ve possibly noticed, if you’ve been following me for a while.
So you’re aware that — like others in my shoes — my budget’s tight.
The £20 uplift to Universal Credit, for example, is bloody helpful: but due to end in September.
So news that’s cropped up today. that Ofgem, the UK’s energy regulator, has effectively put up prices, by increasing the price cap …
Is decidedly unwelcome.

As a final thought … ?
Today’s guest on Desert Island Discs is lawyer, Nazir Afzal.
He’s chosen House of Pain’s Jump Around as his first record.
That’s one hell of a tune …
