What's pleasing me today

After a year of visiting multiple universities in the mid-west, north east, mid-atlantic and Europe - Señorita Mus has finally made a decision, and after all that travel ended up only 1hr 30mins from Muswell Towers and will be spending the next 4 years at UConn. (University of Connecticut)

I'm surprised, I was expecting her to become a Spartan.

So was I... but in the end she wanted to be a Huskie. 2 good basketball teams, a reasonable hockey team (which is the arena I suspect she'll spend most of her time) and and average football team - so it could have been worse.

Football team or FOOTBALL team?

Didn't sleep well last night, got up around 6, decided to get an early start on a piece of work I've been putting off but had planned to get done today. Found my groove immediately and by 8am I was able to send it to stakeholders for initial review, thus freeing up a chunk of my day.

The early bird catches the worm.

Knackered now though. Been to the gym and cranked out some more work, then going house hunting this afternoon followed by some fancy art show opening this evening. I will sleep well.

Randomly remembering the series Banzai - and discovering that it's on C4 on demand.
Mrs Rave and I are going in...

Got tickets for Sunderland away. New ground for me. That doesn't happen very often nowadays. Least not domestically.

Just remembered I had a free £5 from Bet365 to use on the 1.45 at Aintree that I put on a horse called Mange Tout.
Just seen it won at 11/2.

Mange Tout, Rodders.

It's all coming up Mangetout

Won a fiver from a Shady on Gyokres getting a shot on target, at half time I stuck the fiver on ‘Muff to win and won £30.

At last, some success with ‘Muff for me.

3 out of 6 contenders for the MOTD goal of the month competition for March were scored by us.

If they awarded points for style over quality we'd be smashing it.

Promoted at work. Not a little promotion, but 30% pay increase promotion.

A total career change at age 42 costs quite a bit in salary, but 1 year 8 months later I'll be back on the money I left behind with teaching.

Did you finally give consent to letting them use whips and ice cream?

The ear buds that I accidentally left outside overnight in the rain after a run appear to still be working now they've dried out.
