Welcome to Friday.

As we steam towards the weekend, kippers flying everywhere, why not come on in and have a chat – what’s on for your day?

  1. Back in January my lovely friends clubbed together and got me a gift card for a cue shop near Leeds for my birthday. Unfortunately mum passed away the day after and things have been a bit rough since so that card has just been sat in a drawer. But today I’m going to drive over and spend it, get myself a nice new pool cue. I’ve got a mate coming with me for company and I think we’ll head back via Clitheroe to pop into JD Byrne, a wonderful shop full of wine and, more importantly, a great whisky selection.

  2. After getting a new mattress that seems to have sorted my backache out, I now need new pillows to sort out my neck. Might pop to Ikea to have a look at their offerings.

  3. I will work until 4pm whilst watching County Cricket

    I will then spend my evening eating a steak dinner whilst preparing for the return of club cricket tomorrow, which will involve hemming a new pair of trousers

    Just bloody love cricket

  4. All day training, starting at 9:30.

    We do finish at 3 on Fridays, but just can’t be arsed.

  5. I am low level ill so frequently it’s so frustrating. Rarely feel bad enough to justify time off but spend way too much time reliant on painkillers or in the work bathrooms trying to stop feeling sick 

  6. Happy Friday everyone!

    WFH, glad I’m not in the office. It’s a glorious day where I live but still, have to work. That being said, some of the managers taken leave today so should be quieter. I’ve got my calendar blocked out so i get focus time.

    One of my colleagues is leaving today, apparently he was under review for couple of weeks and let’s just say the “powers that be” could have handled the process a lot better in my opinion. Anyway he’s decided to leave, he’s also found a new job which I’m happy for him. I plan to connect with him over a call and wish him well.

    Also I plan to take an early finish assuming all goes to well and go out for a walk assuming the weather holds up.

  8. WFH but unfortunately I’m really busy so can’t have my usual chilled/slower than usual Friday. Bah.

    Looking forward to a fairly quiet weekend before we go to Poland next week!

  9. NWD Friday after a bank holiday Monday means 3 day working week. Condensed hours are the best!

    Today is about jobs – hoover, mop, chip away at de-weeding the herringbone bricks in the patio with a surprisingly effective Ryobi patio cleaner. Then I get 2 proper days off.

  10. working day today but will finish at about 2. Saturday I’m staying over my besties house not sure what we will get up to but excited either way!

  11. I am annoyed with a couple of people but 
    1) saying something will make no difference and might get me in trouble and
    2) worried about their mental health so cant call them out on stuff that needs calling out.

    So I just say nothing. People have noticed I am quiet and kindly calling ne boring but the truth is I am stopping myself saying lots of things a lot f the time.

    Anyway it’s Friday so there’s that.

  12. Work – but thankfully WFH – and Friday is early finish and generally pretty quiet. Preparing a presentation for a talk I’m giving next week.

    Waiting on an engineer coming out to hopefully sort out my broadband. Was out for half the weekend and has been snail speed ever since!

    Then D&D this evening. Things were looking quite dire at the end of last session, so hopefully we can turn things around!

  13. I was meant to be laying a carpet today but the hospital called yesterday to say they’d had a cancellation and could I come in for an ultrasound scan that I’ve been waiting for, so the new plan is to get the grippers and underlay done this morning and then carpet tomorrow.

  14. Anyone manage to reboot a host server this morning without any warning? Just me then, yeah?

  15. Still in bed all admin has been done now i just need to get up but bed soo comfy il move soon.

  16. I don’t think I did much more exercise than usual yesterday, but today my arse is ready to fall off.

    Shall be taking things easy. Maybe some light stretches.

  17. Off to a garden centre this morning. Major for me as my ME has deteriorated so much in recent months I don’t go out anymore. This will be my first time back in my wheelchair since around 2015/16 (in the intervening years I was renovating the garden, walking the dog, etc – somewhat active). Very mixed feelings!

  19. Went in for spin class nice and early so that’s done I am off today with nothing planned might go to garden centre and maybe some where nice for lunch!!

  20. I ate a pack of pre-marinated tempeh straight from the packet for breakfast.

    I don’t have any other major plans.

  21. My team of four is down to one, me. Two medical emergencies and a planned leave. Still, it’s Friday, so it should be quiet. JINX!

  23. Dentist appointment this morning. Two of my existing fillings need to be dealt with. Yaaaay…

    On the upside, EGYPTIAN GOOSE BABIES!

    They’ve at least doubled in size since I first saw them. Mum is rowdy as ever, but still happily comes to take food from me. Dad’s a lot chiller. And the chicks were eating out of my hand too. 🥹

    I can’t wait to see these little guys grow up!

  24. Hoping the weather holds up so I can have some friends over for a barbecue tomorrow.

    It’s been a few weeks since my AWFUL colleague left work. I did not truly realise the negative effect this person had in my life. I’m practically skipping to work every day. My manager has actually commented on how much better my job performance has become. Life feels good.

  25. Happy birthday Thomas!

    WFH today, been out for a quick walk already. 100% morning walks since I started last Sunday!
    Quiet meeting day today so that’s good. Back into the garden for a session or two this weekend… it might be ok now to start planting out.

  26. Going on holiday to spain tomorrow for my girlfriends birthday, its the first time I’ve had an actual week long holiday (as opposed to either having a long weekend or having a week off to get stuff done or bring ill for a week) or going abroad at all since autumn 2019.

    The amount of time since my last holiday abroad has gotten me thinking about how my life has changed since then (overall for the better)

  27. I gotta varnish my doors and paint the hallway but still in bed cos work gave me Friday and Monday off hehe

  28. In the office today as I’m meeting friends after work to go for dinner and then to see Thunderbolts. Have heard good things so looking forward to it! Also it’s sunny and it’s payday, both of which are guaranteed to put me in a good mood.

  29. Trying to shake off an episode of pain/depression before I go out with my brother tomorrow. It is a long-standing plan that really can’t be changed, so I am trying my best. Just being out of bed and dressed seems like a big jump forward.

    Going to the bakery to get bits for our trip. I haven’t been out of the courtyard in almost two weeks, so I definitely need the practice. Then I will try to find something to wear tomorrow that doesn’t make me feel even worse about myself, and try my very best not to go back to bed or throw myself under a bus.

    Don’t worry about the bus thing. They never get fast enough around me to do any damage. In fact, I think the bus would come off worse in a collision with me.

  30. Honestly the day’s been a bit boring at work so far, not a lot going on today. Did bag a couple of tickets for Killswitch Engage at 10 without any trouble though so that’s put a big smile on my face.

  31. Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying the sun but… anyone else concerned at the lack of rain this spring?

  32. Yesterday when I left work there was at least half a pint of my milk left in the fridge.

    Got it this morning and there’s barely enough for a coffee.

    Today can fuck right off.

  33. Been off since yesterday after 2 week work trip. Back to work next Wednesday. All I want to do is stay in my pjs and watch tv with my dog. So that is what I will do. Loving life

  34. Tapped out and got permission to work from home today. Feels good to be able to focus and get stuff done. Everything is urgent, everything is overdue.

  35. I like how you picked that when the Thomas The Tank Engine pilot has just been revealed
