Morning
Pouring down, rain has arrived earlier than expected.
WFW today for the first time in ages.
Might go for a run later if the rain eases off.

    Looks like wellies for walking the hounds today, might have a rest day today as we really need to decorate the tree and move the sofa from the dinning room

    'ning.
    Damp, chilly and breezy commute in this morning with a constant headwind.
    Luckily mostly downhill, so no excuses for not getting it done.
    Sat, waiting for the kettle to boil ready for the first mug of tea.
    Once again overwhelmed with emails so everything sent to bin. If it's important they'll contact me again, if not, f*ck 'em.
    Starting to really feel the pressure now. Long days almost seem to be morphing into the next. Just got to keep on, keeping on.
    Already yawning. Not a good sign.
    Enjoy your day, whatever you are doing.

    Can't find the "whatever footie" thread, but my beloved Nottingham Forest recorded their first win in 8 matches last night.
    Thank f*ck for that!
    Millwall on Saturday, time for back to back wins.

    Morning, dry although cooler, dog walked in that blustery south easterly wind, having a coffee, conservatory roof needs washing before Christmas might do that today
    Have a good day

    First caffeine shot, browse t'internet, get awake, get arris in gear, get prepped, get out, get train, get bus, get to favourite Eye Hospital, get jabbed, get home, hopefully get a low score on the aftereffects, do nothing much for 48 hours. Plan.

    Morning. Should be on shift but slight cold has stolen my energy so using my last 2 days holiday. Hopefully all good for Fri,Sat. Dark, wet and windy out. Youngest has been cleared to go back to school a couple of days early, so he's doing 3 days instead of 1 back. Enjoy the build up to Christmas folks.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Was going to wfw but weather looks [email protected] so wfh. I'll put my chair back together first though.

    I think MF may be way laid today, as he's probably nicked himself shaving his body hair to make him go faster.😇

    Ciao

    Unscathed but de-haired MF here. Sitting in a car park with bambino waiting for weird school opening time then into the workplace to pretend to be busy - hopefully some virtual training stuff I'm planning to do shouldn't be too bad - he says......

    'Tis a bit chilly out there though......

    Blimey - been in literally 5 minutes and its all kicked off.

    Question: M, who wrote your job description?

    MF: errr - not sure. The Ministry of Defence? Surgeon General? Chief of Defence Staff? No idea. If it was me I definitly wouldn't be doing a tenth of the schizer I have to do.

    Welcome to my world.

    But but but... your dining room is as big as the Albert hall.

    Wet, soggy, waterlogged [add whatever adjective you like].

    Is there no internet in Norf Laaandon hotels?!

    No, I am not doing a two hour Zoom lesson. As interesting as I am everyone will just do what we all do when confronted with Zoom - blank screen, mute, walk away.....

    Really CBA today.
    Not really the attitude to have when you're the boss, but.....
    Oh well, only another 9 hours and I can go home.

    Sat here designing a staircase, oh the joy.

    But, on a lighter note I went to the gym last night and am not in epic pain today.

    Time for tea...

    Sounds like fun. I remember doing mine, having to drag out the relevant standards and going with a double winder to free up more space and stop banging my head on the way down.

    WFH today as were in tier 3 along with the rest of the great unwashed. Usual last minute panics before Christmas and people try to get stuff off their plate and onto somebody elses. The only plate of mine with stuff on it shortly will be my lunch plate :)

    Onwards to delegation and mitigation. And lots of bloody 'Teams' meetings.

    Great job 👍 Looks almost good enough to sit on, or pile censored onto 😃

    Visit to osteopath to have voodoo "dry needling" done on my arm. Which hurt. A lot.

    Lazy day otherwise as a result.

    Tomorrow: optometrist.

    Living the dream this week I am.

    Bored, bored and bored. Looking at light xc bikes and trying to work out what my CDF is worth to sell to a mate's OH. Awful weather, cba to ride at lunch. Nearly everything I'm meant to be doing at work has been handed over now so I have nothing to do.

    So bored

    Really bored now.

    Colleague in office - a man you really, really don't want to make angry (PARA, Commando, generally angry) has just stormed off to kick someone's head in.

    I've lost the will to live through boredom and may go to sleep under my desk.

    You need to get your cv-19 app to tell you to isolate, and quickly.

    Saw an inch off the legs of his desk.
    That'll confuse him, he won't know what's wrong but it'll take days to get comfortable again.
