  1. Just walked my dog and some guy from the block of flats at the end of my road was smoking a joint. 7:30 is too early to be stoned, right?

  2. Just starting week four of a two week kitchen renovation (and increasingly thinking of the Hitchhiker’s “trilogy”). Not the builder’s fault, they’ve been brilliant at flagging and solving issues. But I will be so glad to have a kitchen once it’s done!!

    Keep cool, everyone, and enjoy the sunshine!

  3. Got a mad busy one. Half rubbish, half amazing.

    Just leaving home in North Yorkshire now for 2.5 days worth work in London.

    But then Thursday morning, my birthday, fly with my 3 oldest mates to Dublin to watch the lions rugby match. Can’t wait

  4. I’m not sure the Air Con in the office has really kicked in yet. I’ve been here for an hour and feel like I’m slowly cooking. I’m hoping to be freezing in a bit.

  5. Still feeling proud of myself and daughter

    Two solid oak wardrobes to move from mums room (downstairs) to the garage.

    Remembered an old engineering programme and how they used planks to slide heavy objects and found 2 old kickboards we were going to re purpose and used those to slide them through the house and garden with no damage

    My back hurts, and working last night wasn’t easy, but mission accomplished

  6. spent the weekend at the new house, camped out there as its in dire need of renovation… absolutely loved it! lovely rural location only 3 cars went through the village all day.

    now all we need is planning to pull their finger out this week and we can start work.

    side note: ride on lawnmowers are fucking great!

  8. I’ve got to soldier my way through a few days this week before having the end of the week off due to a second funeral.

    The one we had a few weeks back it was torrential rain, this week’s one looks to be absolutely scorching.

  9. Had a lazy weekend.
    Just shoved a load of washing in the machine.
    Gunna get the housework done before I go to the Jobcentre this afternoon.
    Apparently in my 15min appointment today I’m going to learn how to apply for jobs using AI.
    Since my last 3 appointments have all ran late and lasted less than 5 mins it should be interesting.

  10. Not a 10/10 weekend.

    I was at my part-time job all weekend (retail) and spent the whole day getting stuff done for my manager, while the other recent starter (we’ve both been there a couple of months) played on their phone and did nothing. Manager & I spoke about it the other day too and they acknowledged the person was not doing great and was going to spend yesterday “showing them how to do things”. That never happened.

    Anyway, I’ve decided to call in sick tomorrow instead of feeling grumpy about it! It’s helping me feel much more positively going into this week.

  11. My 2 weeks annual leave starts today! Work groupchats have been muted and as far as I’m concerned, my job doesn’t exist till I’m back.

    Busy day today though, I’m off to Mexico tomorrow so I’m running round sorting all the last minute bits today. Can’t wait!

  12. Morning. I managed to secure my first date in about 6 years over the weekend. It’s set for tomorrow night. I can’t think of anything more romantic than wandering around IKEA and then stuffing meatballs and/or cheesecake down our throats for a first date.

    Her idea, not mine, but I do need a new lamp. Wish me luck.

  13. Work frustrations. Getting set up for WFH due to ongoing health drama. Came in as planned to pick up equipment to enable me to do so and predictably the equipment isn’t ready and the people I need to see to do handover work aren’t in.

    If I can get myself into the office after serious surgery I’m sure they could have also made the effort. Got other people asking me why I’m not sat at home recovering. Well if my work had got their fingers out of their arses I could be working from the comfort of my sofa.

  14. If it could just cool down so I could breathe and sleep that would be amazing

  15. I’m fucking shattered, travelling to Warsaw Thursday night then attending a Polish wedding on Friday and then travelling home on the Saturday, plus catching up with former colleagues from South East Asia on Sunday has left me running on fumes this morning, and I’m in the office!

  16. Did the Windsor triathlon yesterday. A swan landed on top of me, I got punched a bunch in the swim, and nearly threw up on the run.

    Personal best time. Somehow

  17. I’m going to do my mum’s housework in a bit. I need coffee, though, because I’m still in my pyjamas, completely unable to get my act together.

  18. Morning, waiting in GP surgery for my appointment – had private surgery (that I was on NHS waiting list for) and hoping the Doctor will agree to post surgery assistance. All my fingers and toes crossed.

  19. It’s Monday and I’m in the office is always a bad start to the week. We had our 4 year old Samsung washing machine condemned due to buggered bearings which has meant ordering a replacement. New Miele one is coming on Wednesday which should last.

    Oh and found a tick on my hip over the weekend, managed to get it out but hard to tell if it was whole as it was so small. Now a wait and see game if it becomes infected.

  21. It’s a bit warm, isn’t it.

    But I shall not complain because we would all only complain if it was raining 😅

  22. I’m a bit worn out by living in London so I feel like the Pingu in the bottom panel these days.

  23. Going on a first date with someone next week, we live in different cities so he said to to meet up halfway somewhere, the place they chose is about 45-1hr away from them but for me I would need to get 2 trains and it takes a total of 1 hour 30 mins (my car has gone for repair but it still would have taken me just as long eith traffic), I thought maybe telling him how long it would take me to get there and asked how many trains he would need to come to my city (direct train he said) he might have suggested coming closer instead as it would just be under an hour for him. However when i told him how long it would take me he just responded with “aww 🙈”.

    Would you have changed the venue to somewhere else if you was in his shoes?
