We are SO CLOSE to April. I can taste it.
Bit annoyed that this week is meant to be glorious sunshine but I'll be trapped in a windowless office until 3pm every day…
How are you all? Good weekends? Come in and have a natter.

Got a training session on teams at 9:30, then I’ll be off to potter round some fields in the sunshine. Can’t complain when that’s my Monday jobs.
My day started messy.
I pulled out of an anthology due to issues I’ve had with the publishers and people are not happy with me.
Now I feel like an absolute bitch.
On the plus side, I have 3 and a half days and 1 team meeting left before I leave my job and start a new one a week today.
Recovering from flu since mid Friday. Thought it was bad allergies but nope, full on fuck me flu.
Weekend was a write off, Mothers Day cancelled (well, we agreed to postpone it).
Wish I had some of those lemons for hot honey and lemon…
Off in a minute for an ECG then I really need to start all my veg seeds off since I’ve been putting it off for weeks
Important job interview in a few hours and I’ve just tested positive for covid and can’t talk. Brilliant.
Last day of annual leave before back to the grind tomorrow. I only got up about 10 minutes ago so I’m clearly still trying to recover from the clocks going forward, but at least I have today to do it
I tried to go on an all ages playground yesterday, fell off a slide and now my back is stiff and evil.
31 is going well
Eldest is doing a school play today. She’s a sign post and a target (robin hood themed play). She’s a bit frustrated because she asked to do the technical bits and it was given to someone else.
Me and little one are going to head to the shop for more fruit because the kids eat loads and for some birthday cards. Then we’ll probably play in the garden or go to the park before heading to school for the show.
I’ve somehow bruised the top of my foot – I haven’t dropped anything on it and don’t remember doing anything too painful to it, so it’s a complete mystery to me. The how is almost annoying me more than the fact it’s sore at this point.
Otherwise I’ve logged on after a couple of days annual leave to see lots of lovely assessments for me to review – who doesn’t love a couple of hundred page documents to get through! In all seriousness, I don’t mind it. I can stick teams on do not disturb and crack on without having to be pulled pillar to post for a few hours.
Currently in a Kwik Fit to get a rattle in my car looked at, they’re playing “I am driving in my car” by Madness. Gotta give them the on brand consistency.
I’m celebrating Eid today by going into work to work on the Financial Year end whilst my family and friends are preparing to congregate and tuck into 2 tables worths of food, so, yeah, … could be better!
Found the freezer door open this morning.
Second time in a few months, full freezer this time too.
I’ll be investing in a freezer alarm I think.
I had a really nice weekend, topped off with going to the pub with a buddy last night to commiserate his recent break-up. The barman didn’t seem to know about sunday closing hours. We were like kids who had gotten into their parents liquor cabinet, we couldn’t believe he kept serving us, we were overjoyed with each new pint, practically running away from the bar feeling naughty because we knew he wasn’t supposed to be doing it, drinking quickly as if they might take our contraband pints away from us. We ended up hammered. On a Sunday. I had an 8am meeting this morning…
Had a really good chat to him about his breakup too, and I hope he felt it was beneficial. He’s a good egg.

A long and tiring weekend with not much sleep, came to work for a break! Currently hiding in our workshop cleaning tools and listening to a podcast
Not normally one to moan about having the heating on (IMO, generally speaking if it’s cold – put it on) but was away with work recently and got home at 22:30 to find it was on full blast. Wife said she intentionally turned it on because she was freezing.
What was she wearing? Shorts and t shirt.
My shoulders and arms are very sore this morning after trying to do shoulder stands in yoga yesterday.
I wouldn’t mind so much if I’d successfully done one, but it’s frustrating to be in pain (well, discomfort) and have nothing to show for it.
I’ll be practising in the evenings ahead of next weekend’s session….
>We are SO CLOSE to April
You say this like it means something? Don’t get it tbh
Had a 3d printer delivered at the weekend so making all the things
I’ve got today off using up the last day of the work calendar that I can take my annual leave.
I’m gonna have a nice long stroll with the dog, then head to the gym and cap it off giving blood. Then I’m gonna play video games for the rest of the day in my jim jams.
My husband’s got the week off and I am pleased the weather is better hopefully he can cut the grass and help tidy the garden.I’ve already put a beef bouginon in the slow cooker for later, tidied the kitchen ,put a wash on and taken him three cups of coffee.Ive been up since quarter to five as the dog hasn’t got used to the time change.Its my husband’s birthday tomorrow already wrapped up his presents and will be doing a roast lamb for dinner..
Y’ever just have one of those weeks, where everything happens to you at once and quite frankly you’d just like to scream your head off?
Yeah.
I live in a terraced with bloody thin walls though, so no screaming for me.
2nd week of being signed off with hand injuries. Both hands are in splints so I can barely just wiggle my fingers.
I’m on pure hand rest so no gaming, driving etc
Basically all I can do is watch films, anime and shows. Sounds great but after a week I’m bored, got another one ahead yet.
This time next week I will not be working, I’ll be starting a lovely week off with my son! I’m planning some days out 😁
But first I have to get through this busy week of work, I’m on my own – and my son is poorly off school so he’s currently lying on the sofa playing Power washing simulator.
I had an unusually restful weekend. Daughter was happy because we watched Arsenal (women) win 4-0. Son is happy because Man City (men and women both) won 2 – 1.
Physio now then a bit of smacking keys on the laptop. We can cycle to football training now we have daylight for the return journey, which is nice.
Well the case and call I screwed up on Friday is coming back to bite me in the arse – I have a meeting with my manager today. Whether it’s a formal warning or worse remains to be seen.
I’m mad and it’s genuinely my fault for screwing up in a bad way.
Had the worst birthday Friday.
-car window shattered
– fell out with a mate
– £46 in a taxi home
The on Saturday morning went back to get my car from said “mate” and the car wouldn’t start. So the discrete grab the now taped up car and leave was out the window. Managed to get the car started and left. The icing was the person who took me to get his car was a guy he took back the week before, after trying it with me.
Sunday my eldest forgot my existence or the fact it’s Mother’s Day. So I spent it moping cooking my own roast and walking the dog.
So today I’m in a foul mood and went to the gym to gym to burn it all off.
Another sober weekend, not had any alcohol since January. Bought a 4 pack on Friday because I decided I wanted the beer without double checking myself or giving myself time to overthink it. I then left it in the car with the thought that when I actually wanted it I’d go and get it, otherwise it could stay in there for the time being. That lasted until I braked hard on my way to Aldi on Saturday and they went flying. Now in my fridge, but still untouched.
Friday on site was good, but my arms and chest have been sore most of the weekend after lifting an absolute beast of a server down from head height before carrying it out to the car, then up stairs on the other side to reinstall it at a much more manageable height. Cooked a nice roast dinner yesterday though, that was nice.
Had a rough night with the 1yo in our bed. I never sleep well and hold myself really stiff as a board so woke up with hip problems.
Chickenpox going around nursery, the older one is vaccinated so that’s fine except the 1yo isn’t and I’ve had them twice so I’m not immune either. Just been told I’m now on pickup despite having shit sleep and probably going to get sick so yay for me I guess. The burnout is burning hard and I have no way to fix it.
