still

 It's definitely autumn, innit?  (in Yorkshire, anyways)

We've obviously "fallen back" in chronological terms, as dictated by the anecdotal farmers of yore.

Thus, it's bloody dark all day now.

Well.... i've landed a little part time job that runs up until Christmas... so i'll be out of the house and packing stinky dog treats for a few days a week.

Am currently "on hold" with the department of work and pensions to tell them to cancel the small benefit i receive for being unfit to work..... i've been listening to the same piano riff for twenty one minutes and fifty-seven seconds until now..... this could go on for some time.....

I mean, it doesn't exactly inhibit the process of benefit fraud when i can't get through to cancel a benefit.....  just saying!

Four days a week right up until Christmas eve..... 

Now, when i add it all up, and consider the very meagre benefit i am claiming, you probably work out that i'm working for about a fiver a day but it's a step and a process i need to go through if i am ever to halt the downward spiral into full hermitship!

Thank you for waiting.... we know that you are waiting to speak to an agent and will put you through as soon as we can......

i once had delusions of writing a book about these old railway carriages that you find dotted across the countryside.... are they railway carriages?  How come there are so many of them?  Why do they all seem to be roughly the same age?  Did we hive off a load of rolling stock at some point?  I dunno..... the book would largely be a photographic thing just showing them and where they are now....

Thirty minutes and forty second.....
