  1. Hope it’s not quite as hot as yesterday. I don’t sleep well when it’s too warm, which I’m sure is something many of us have in common. Cold lunch today. I won’t be using the cooker at all, as the kitchen is already warm enough.

  2. Unfortunately no rest for me, as such.

    I’ve a bag to pack and load into my crappy courtesy car, and a 5/6hr drive to Devon, as I’m working there for the next few days.

    On the upside, I get to see my family and friends for a small amount of time, and then home again.

    What about you OP?

  3. Recovering from the hangover that I’m yet to have because I haven’t gone to bed yet.

  4. I don’t recall this “relax” concept for a Sunday. Was that that thing I used to do before having kids?

  5. I haven’t slept yet. I think I’ll have a day in bed.

  6. Big clean, visit father in law and then my parents, do a shop, hopefully get all that banged out before 3pm, then a chuck it in the airfryer tea so I can sit and craft, going to play with resin today

  7. I was offered a job which is nice but now I have to tell my boss tomorrow. I know it’s the right decision for me but she’s a nice person and I know she will be disappointed.

  8. Up early with the boy so his mother can sleep. Going round some friends later for drinks and picky bits. That’s all we have planned!

  9. Think we’ll be popping out for some fresh air after staying cooped up from the weather yesterday. After that the usual boring Sunday evening stuff of getting everybody ready for school/work.

  10. Waking up at 06:30, because my toddler doesn’t understand what a lay in is.

  11. I am currently suffering with the ol’ COVID. With the heat yesterday it’s been the absolute worst. 

    Hoping I’m over the worst of it, looks like it’s cooler today too with potential showers. 

    But it’s probably a day on the sofa playing Doom dark ages with my new 8bitdo controller. 

  12. We’ve had a hell of a week here. Had a massive review at work Tuesday and Wednesday, which drained every drop of resilience from me, especially as one particular member of senior leadership dropped the ball so spectacularly, impacting my department and only my department, when he is in fact A TEACHER IN MY DEPARTMENT, that I would almost think it was deliberate if it weren’t for the fact that because I rushed around fixing the mess I come out of it looking great and because he clearly caused the mess he comes out of it looking terrible. But it was an absolute nightmare to fix. So Friday when y11 were leaving and I had kids sobbing in my arms saying goodbye, and then I went to their prom to say goodbye and had some really poignant conversations, I was an emotional wreck, in a weird bittersweet way. Then yesterday morning our rabbit, who had been with us 12 years, died, so kids were a wreck. I had an epic meltdown before the kids were awake because I was running on emotional empty so I conflated this rabbit with all the other bereavements I’ve had over the years and all the humans I’ve watched dying with watching the rabbit die, and our poor friend who is staying with us was the only other person up and had to pick up the pieces of my nonsense. Then I had to go and be stoic for the kids. Then I had to go see my godfather which is a whole other emotional thing as he’s basically all the family I have left and his house is full of reminders of those who are gone. Oh and my pain levels are pretty horrendous this week too.

    So today the “time for YOU to relax” is very apt, thanks op. Kids have each chosen something they want to bake (rocky road for the little one, chocolate bark for the big one) so we will do that this morning. After that, apart from laundry I’m doing bugger all except reading, TV watching, or both. For the moment though, I’m deep conditioning my hair, listening to the storm, and being mobbed by the dog and both cats, who always refuse to leave me alone if they sense that I’m down or in pain.

  13. Thighs are a bit sore from the hike yesterday, suggests I need to focus more on leg exercise.

    A muggy night but there’s a good breeze this morning. I’m on a second floor flat on the coast so windows open and the temperature has dropped 2C already. Lovely. Though now I can hear the screaming kids on the playground over the road. They’re old kids too, teenagers I think, the fuck are teenagers doing up and out at 7am on a Sunday?? Still they sound like they’re having fun so good on em.

  14. Gaming. I’m a 40 something world of Warcraft nerd. I’m going to go do some bacon rolls on the bbq in the rain this morning then nerd out all fucking day. Tough and busy week at work, 16m hike in that weather yesterday so today can fuck off, no grass will be touched and no to sunlight.

  15. Supposed to be running 8 miles this morning but been up with the 💩 all night. See how that goes.
