We had a team building morning at work today. I was half expecting one of those cheesy, American business like courses where you need to say something about yourself and everyone else in the room then fall backwards and hope your colleague (whom you have just offended) catches you.

This evening I am not suffering from a broken back so can now confirm that there were no trust exercises – the Risk Management Department simply wouldn’t have allowed it!

The morning was very practical and best of all a pub lunch followed. If climbing the career ladder involves trips away from the office with free coffee and biscuits followed by lunch in a beer garden than I am all for it!

Today was hot though! Hot and sticky. What’s more this afternoon Bath became infested with a swarm of greenfly. Maybe they had all hatched on the same day? There were millions of the little buggers, one even landed in my Coke in the beer garden. As greenflies don’t lay their eggs in dog shit I thought it would be safe to finish the drink, after removing the fly of course, which was still alive but high on caffeine and probably suffering from diabetes after a massive sugar intake.

This evening there has been a thunderstorm, it hasn’t been a massive one but it’s just been going on for hours and the thunder is still rumbling away now. In the past these storms have been so bad I had thought George Bush had gone nuts and decided to starting bombing the UK for not agreeing to show Saturday Night Live and disrespecting the American culture.

Hang on a tick… plagues of flying insects, big storms lasting all evening. Has somebody been annoying God? If I find blood coming out of the taps in the morning and boils on my face I know we’re all screwed. What’s more worrying is that I am the first born son to my parents and you know what that means!

If this is my last ever blog entry, it has been a fun two years.
