Been a busy couple of weeks really, in the main driven by the fact that my card was cloned. It all started when I got my bank statement through the post and upon inspection I found I had some suspect transactions. These being £300 worth of Canadian Dollars withdrawn within Canada, nothing to do with me guv. I was straight on the phone to the fraud department to resolve the discrepancy. Yesterday I had a letter from the bank saying they'd put the money back into my account; I've also had a new card as well. A fresh start, if you will.
I used my new card for the first time yesterday and it was silky smooth.
In other news, I went to Tesco at the beginning of last week to stock up on some foodstuffs. Whilst going round I consumed a strawberry and banana smoothie, a vanilla bean flavored milkshake and a strawberry Crusha milkshake. All packaging was deposited back onto the shelves at Tesco, I believe this is what's known as grazing. When I got home I had the most terrible trouble with wind, it was due to my grazing and the fact that before I went to the supermarket I had a bowl of filtered chicken soup. You see, I don't like the chicken bits they put in the soup, so I sift them out using a strainer. It's the same strainer I use to drain my rice.
Also, I've been watching a program called Evolution that's being aired on the History Channel at the moment. On the episode about the evolution of flight there were a pair of rather peculiar scientists who had developed a theory called "wing assisted incline running". I have nothing particular to add, other than that I like the name of this theory.
Finally, I was doing some of what we call "rollovers" at work t'other day. These are lease contracts which have been incorrectly set up and so have to be terminated and set up again, or rolled over. We have over 40 of these to do at the moment, and I took a job lot of 10 of these for myself. What I had essentially done was adopt a batch mentality. That is all.
