Hey. You all ok? Tell me about your days pls.

My day? Well, I’ve been up since 2.30 with a distressed boy, so great. It’s 4.40 and I’ve resorted to putting a film on. Bad parenting.

Also, last shift with a company I’ve spent 18½yrs working for. So try and keep my head down and see that out.

Sorry that it’s got off on the wrong foot but I hope today goes smoothly! So, so excited for you!

I’m awake and looking at sewing patterns, for no reason whatsoever

Sounds like very reasonable parenting to me. Hope he feels happier soon :blush:

Good morning anyway!

First day of the Easter holidays, first day of ten days off, and we’re heading to Belgium :belgium: had my usual restless night imagining all the travel calamities that could befall us but I think everything seems to be going to plan.

Morning!

First day of the holidays and I’m fairly awake :star_struck:

Absolutely no plans which is a total joy

Saw an amateur dramatic 9to5 musical last night which was brilliant.

Have an excellent last day @rich-t and a brilliant holiday @colon_closed_bracket

Going to go run round my favourite place to run, then getting some brunch and down to London for my partner’s friend’s 30th

Good hello.

So excited for your new job, m9 :two_hearts::two_hearts:

Got a pal and her toddler coming down to visit for a couple of days today. Need to clean the bathrooms, hoover downstairs and tidy the mess up before picking her up.

But I’m in bed and it’s cosy.

Morning all!

First day of Spring Break(!) for me. We’re watching Roblox videos on YouTube (which is actually what terrible parenting looks like). She’s also been promised Easter egg pieces for breakfast.

The Child’s horrible ex-friend isn’t coming back to drama so we’re hopefully avoiding any of the bad drama she was often responsible for. It’s Shakespeare day and it’s always quite nice seeing her enthusiasm for whatever they’ve done.

Wor Lass and I are out tonight for her friend’s birthday drinks.

Morning troops, youngest was sick at the tail end of the week which means that they are now well, but the rest of the house is coming under the sickness, myself included.

As such, it’ll be eggs and toast and a run to the bakery later. For sure.

Just boiling the kettle for a coffee and abiut to play Forza with my kids

Just woken by the cat manically attacking my bedroom door for feeding. I’d been getting up early for the builders and I think she’s got used to the new routine.

This morning will consist of tidying up the house now the builders are practically done. They still haven’t asked for payment which is weird. There is still a small amount of painting to finish, but I’m in no rush so whatever suits them.

Then I’m off to Selhurst for Palace v Leicester followed by heading straight to Bromley to see An Inspector Calls at the theatre and a visit to the Bromley Wetherspoons.

So:

  • five nights in Brussels, taking day trips to Bruges, Gent, Leuven etc and spending some time in Brussels itself
  • head to the Netherlands via Germany and spend the day in Cologne (and/or maybe go to Wuppertal for the monorail :heart_eyes:)
  • two nights in Utrecht, probably head to Amsterdam too
