Also, can’t stop thinking (psycho-babbling really) about my new job which is now only 7 work days away

trying to keep chill about it & save all that energy and imagination until when I actually start being paid to do it but the urge to jump the gun is enormous and I’m strangely feeling that I should be way more anxious about it than I am - getting a little anxious that I’m not more anxious, it’s such a massive responsibility.

Also, I am psychologically fully over my current position. Don’t know how I’m going to focus on it for the rest of this week & next (though my boss says he fully understands), just wrap things up I guess.

Well whatever, I don’t even know who I’m talking to here. Maybe I’m still semi-fever delirious

the absolute best photo I have ever taken that I love with all my heart is the one I took just after the TV had squeezed out our littlest one. They look so freaking adorable together! That first exhausted hug…

Unfortunately the TV hates that photo because she thinks she looks awful in it (so wrong) so it’s not allowed on public display. Shame, but obviously understandable I guess

I fractured my scaphoid once (fell over whilst drunk) and was given a cast for six weeks. This coincided with having young kids in pushchairs etc and lots of busy, mutually dependent to go to work etc parenting. Basically I was using my hand far more than I should have been.

The plaster was removed after 6 weeks but I ended up going back and getting one put back on for another 3 or 4 weeks, cos it just wasn’t healed yet.

It’s such a shitty little bone as well

I now have a metal plate in the same wrist - but that’s entirely unrelated

it’s fucking outrageous what’s going on over your side of the border (as you obviously know)

I guess that we’ve only narrowly escaped this last week with a very week red-green coalition voted through thanks to abstentions on the left and in the centre

could you possibly find time for a brief rundown of what’s going on there? Maybe a thread of how the Centre Right Conservatives have formed an unholy alliance with mouthbreathing Nationalists and what sort of concessions they’ve given in order to have that support?

We almost saw the same thing here but fortunately the centre party and the liberals voted against their own coalition partners to avoid the far right having influence

Solidarity and power to all you taking to the streets too

I’ll see if I have the energy for this tonight or tomorrow!

no hurry

but I think a lot of people who (who would be interested) probably have no idea what’s going on there. Hell, most people in Sweden have little idea what’s going on there right now

in your own time :slight_smile:
