Still on leave, hanging out with the boy today. Getting camping gear ready to head to Galloway forest park later for some star gazing; hoping to see some Perseid meteor shower action.
Got 3-4 hours sleep in the end I think, read about a quarter of the neurodivergent thread instead. Currently in the park walking the dog before it’s too hot. Had good house buying news yesterday and it’s almost the weekend, so that’s nice.
Mr s_w is off work today so we are off down to Trentham Gardens for a wander and some breakfast before it gets too warm. Need to go B&Ms too at some point. Oh and the cars going for an oil change this afternoon apparently. Then think we are round my brother-in-laws for takeaway tea tonight. All in all a decent Friday.
Big shop came at 6.30 - fridge full of beer, cider, cava, cream soda for the underage drinker, and tofu.
There’s works party this afternoon that I’m hoping to swerve altogether as actually have to do some work instead.
Currently sat on a bench in a bleak precinct waiting for a shop to open and the pigeon man is sat opposite me chatting to his shoulder pigeon and blowing him second hand smoke. Never felt more regional England in the 1980s.
Dropped Taylor off for her MOT earlier, now at work listening to Silver Jews, packing orders and refreshing my email constantly to see if the solicitor’s been in touch.
Morning campers, hi de hi! (Haven’t thought of that for ages)
Slept pretty well last night with all the upstairs windows and curtains open. Woke up early though (but did get back to sleep for a bit). Went out to Wickes first thing (like, 7.45am) to get some hinges and staples for the staple gun and it was boiling already.
Was supposed to be going to Thurrock for work today but I’ve rescheduled. Instead, a day of featherlight admin and listening to music awaits.
Very happy Friday for me after receiving an email from BA saying they’re gonna give me like £700 for cancelled flights! Part of it is actual free money, the other part is paying for the alternative flight which I’m also arguing is free money but husband is like “it’s not cause we already paid it” but we had to get home from there anyway so it’s technically free but he’s like “no the flight was free” argh!
Having another one of those days. Got to do some hefty people stuff at work later, as well as a 12hr day, so yeah, having a worrisome day so far. Plus the unrelenting heat man.
