Morning once again, and it’s Monday.
Why not take a short break from child wrangling, avoiding getting ready for work, or whatever else is on for your Monday, and pop in for a chat?

  1. Next door neighbour’s chickens woke me up at 5:30, and I couldn’t get back to sleep. It gave me the excuse to get up and have an early morning walk to stretch my legs, though

  2. Bloody weather… Wouldn’t be F1 weekend without it though.

    Counting down the days until Bloodstock starts, only 4 weeks Wednesday and I’ll be back in my favourite place that isn’t a racetrack.

  3. I’ve got to go to the post office to return a wonky item I received yesterday. Such fun. Following this with a trip to sunny Sainsbury’s to get a few mundane things.

    *My silly spellchecker saw the word ‘Sainsbury’s’ and thought I was trying to spell ‘bursaries’. Not much difference between the two.

  4. On the bus into the office. Feeling pretty shit as had an interview the week before last and was told I’d hear mid to end of last week. Friday came, and nothing. I tried to call the HR guy, and he didn’t pick up or reply to my email. I feel like I may have been ghosted, but I have a teeny bit of hope he’ll call today. It’s pretty obvious I’ve not got the job, but I would appreciate being told!

  5. Painting the lounge/kitchen this week. Dog’s off for a holiday at my mother’s so I can do jobs without her bringing me everything I put down. Or getting ain’t in her very white fur.

    Upstairs decided to restart their row at 5.20 today. Hopefully they have a really long day.

  6. Well, after 3 nights of dreadful sleep I decided to put some eye patches on while I got ready this morning to try and minimise the bags so I’d look vaguely alive.

    Anyway, forgot I was wearing them and have been into both the corner shop on the way to work AND the office with them on. FFS.

    Can it be Friday already?

  7. I ate half a bag of sweet potato fries yesterday, and I have awoken with the rumblies and farts you would not believe.

  8. Busy day with a bit of freelance work and a job interview to squeeze in today. At least all the rain overnight seems to have damped down the pollen and dust so I’m not a sniffly mess this morning.

  9. We have a Polish racing pigeon that’s been hanging around for 2 weeks that keeps trying to walk in any open door, and it’s driving me nuts.

    Reported it, but nobody wants it as it’s been grounded and fed for too long, so it’s no use to them!

  10. I live about a 15 bike ride away from a lady that I see, this morning was a lovely cool journey to home, before I need to get ready for work.
    Only thing is I now wish that I could just stay on my bike and zoom around the forest area and end up feeding the ducks on a lovely pond.

    Nature over work anyday.

  11. Didn’t get past 2nd interview for a job.

    Demoralised and a bit fucked off.

    Maybe I should sell the house and fly off to a warm, cheap country with the equity!

  12. I was up at 3am and have been snoozing on the sofa since. Weird dreams. Today I’m planning a kick starter for pin enamel pin badges, painting a hamster and a screaming child, starting to paint a huge wooden postcard about Hastings and planning an exhibition entry that’s in response to Jorge Luis Borges writings on the theme on magical realism. Then documenting all that on tiktok.

  13. The parking situation at home on the drive meant I almost backed into 3 bins before I’d even got out this morning. The 3 bins aren’t even ours, they belong to the drunk woman down the back road who is usually comatose in her house. So they never move and it’s not the done thing here to mess with other people’s things.

    Long story short, I stalled, swore, started up again, swore again as I had to give it some welly to start, and backed out and flew to work because I thought I was late. Turns out I had 10 mins to spare lol. Oh well. Made it here alive. Even remembered to bring lunch for once.

  14. No work today, so a bit of housework and a walk. Weather’s a bit spotty though.

  15. Take the kids to school, then off to the Lidl to get me a pair of their Trek mashup shorts. I bought a pair last year, as a joke, and they’re soooo comfy. This year’s should be an improvement, as they have pockets! 

    Also going to get dog chews and fuzzy pop (Freeway XXL cola x6), and some other, sensible things. Then work, 2 ’till 12. Mrs Dull is absolutely flabbergasted that, in all that time, I only have 30minutes break, and that it’s at half 7, out at former industrial powerhouse, and not my home depot. Roll on Friday!

  16. What the fuck am I doing with my life?

    Thank you for reading about my daily existential qualms.
