Good morning one and all! How are you?

Had a good weekend? Ready for the week ahead? Yes, I thought so.

Come and have a natter, and tell us all about it.

  1. Toddler was off from nursery for two days last week as a precaution due to having loose poo, this morning he is claiming to be poorly.

    I have deadlines this week.

    Fuck.

  2. Woke up a bit earlier today and pottered around the house for a bit and it’s nice. Got to enjoy a coffee before just shooting straight off to work.

    I am looking forward to the weekend though, got Slam Dunk festival on Saturday and that shit is going to be absolutely brilliant! 5/6 bands I want to see are all on the same stage so very little tactical planning is needed!

    Just gotta get through the week first…

  3. Broken sleep but working from home so can lie in a bit longer.

  4. It’s amazing how sun in the morning makes the day start off so nicely.

  5. I had a lovely weekend doing a bit of everything (family, DIY, exercise, chilling out).

    Need to pop to the shops tonight to get some plain t-shirts that fit properly, I have lots of giant slobby shirts for DIY and the gym, but none that I would wear in public.

    And, best of all, I’m only working 3 days this week because we’re going away!

    …Although I will miss Eurovision. Balls.

  7. It’s my birthday! We’re going to the zoo because even at nearly 30 I love animals like a little kid 🙂

    Afterwards we’re going for a fancy meal out with wine pairings.

    Very much looking forward to it!

  8. I think my lurgy is finally fading thankfully and I’m not dizzy this morning

    Driving to work in the hopes the mechanic replies to my email and has me bring the car back in. I started getting warning lights after a routine cam belt change, and I’m hoping he’ll be cooperative and get it sorted.

    I miss being a kid sometimes

  9. Sunshine ✅, chance of thunderstorm later ✅, hay fever kicking my arse ✅

    At least the washing is going to dry fairly quickly if I hang it on the line.

  10. Fell off my bike on Saturday and I’m still very battered and bruised.

    Didn’t manage to sleep on Saturday night and fell asleep at about 19:00 last night. Been up since 04:30 and feel very stiff (not in a good way, calm down).

    Thank fuck I was wearing a helmet – hit my head pretty hard on the ground. No major injuries, just a lot of sore joints and bruises (plus I’ve left a lot of my skin on the gravel).

  11. Here we go again. Another week on Planet Earth. Somehow we keep going.

  12. Nice ride to work this morning. Got out the house and it’s nice and quiet here so might be able to get some work done. It’s worth coming in once in a while to eat all the snacks and have low effort coffee.

  13. Septoplasty on Wednesday. Hospital called earlier (I’m in Australia, they didn’t ring in the middle of the night) to tell me when to haul myself in.

    Only mildly bricking it. Mildly.

  14. Got up at 6am today for work only to get to work to find out I’m not actually needed until 10am 🫠

  15. After work I’ll print bits for my main 3D printer with itself later. It’s a circular economy 😎

  16. Starting week six of a new job. I _know_ it’ll be ok eventually, and I’ll figure it all out, but at the moment, I still have that Monday morning dread.

  17. Going to collect my lovely aunt and uncle from the airport and bring them to my mum’s house which will make her so so happy, which will make me so so happy!

  18. Severe case of Monday blues.

    2 weeks till holiday…

  19. Two glorious weeks of annual leave so I’m pissing off to Aberystwyth until Thursday.

  20. I was up at 3.30am to take my wife and her friend to Gatwick for a 5 day break in Malaga. I’m now back home in bed cos I’ve got the day off. I’ll get up at some point, play with the cat, tinker with my old motorbike for a bit, do the weekly shop and buy things for all the dinners that my wife doesn’t like, take the cat to the vet and then have a beer in the garden.

    The rest of the week is work, but I’ve got two gigs to go to and a football playoff semi-final to watch. Proper blokes week, this.

  21. I have to go to the Dentist today.

    Shitting bricks so much I could build a house.

  22. I’ve had an unusually productive weekend (chronic health has been extremely bad in recent months). Feel pretty good again today, so hoping to carefully keep the ball rolling for a little longer! Will try to plant my greenhouse veg 🥬

  24. We’re tourists with a 1yo and a 4yo. What should we do in London today? We’ve been to the Natural History, British museum, Science Museum, the Westminster area, Tower Bridge, Borough Market, Green Park, Kensington Gardens. Ideas appreciated, thanks!

  25. I got overexcited at the weather yesterday and ended up in a beer garden with friends.

    Feel like absolutely shit now and it’s a bloody 5 day working week.

    I don’t like 5 day working weeks anymore.

  26. I am sat in a car park a mile from both home and the office, waiting for a man to come and fit my spare wheel.

    I absolutely do not need to be spending money on my car as I’m getting rid of it in a month.

    They’ve given me an ETA of 10am. If I book a tyre fitting for 3pm, is that wishful thinking? As I guess I am bottom of the list for callouts. And will the garage let me just get 1 tyre changed?

  27. I really hate having to work in an office in this weather. At home I can wear what I like and nobody cares, but try and wear shorts to the office and you get told those aren’t part of the “dress code”.
    Such bullshit. We don’t have a job that is customer facing or has any clients coming to the building, so who is caring that I dare to be a bit more comfortable in hot weather?!

  29. Working 2 days this week, 3 days next week and then off to my new job! Really looking forward to it now.

  30. I just walked my daughter to school (half a mile total there and back) for the first time since I was hit by a driver in January. And I did it without my crutch. I’m in agony now of course, but I did it.

  31. Had a nice weekend, now back to work. It’s going to be a quiet day by the looks of it, so I’m not going to rush. Probably a good thing, I’m shattered.

    Already irritated by a colleague though.

    Blood donation appointment after work.

  32. Those suffering with hay-fever, I present to you Dymista nasal spray. It is a god send!!! I team it up with Alevia antihistamine and I am golden!!!

  33. First day of a 12 day working week but I am feeling surprisingly good. Excited to go gym at lunch and excited to get a few things off my to do list to be honest.

    Plan is to work absolutely balls to the wall today and tomorrow to get shit done, have a couple of less intense work days weds-thurs-fri-sat to make sure I’m not absolutely dead by Friday next week.
