I got up 3 hours ago thanks to a riotous pre-dawn chorus from the local wildlife
Done a whole bunch of work already but was disturbed by a commotion on the balcony just now & turned around to see a short-toed eagle bashing the life out of a blue-tailed skink
I was too slow to take a picture unfortunately and the eagle flew off with the skink in its talons
Taking a walk down to the Mercado for a 2nd breakfast
Yeah, my morning has been pretty much the same except I was awoken by The Child’s post-dawn breakfast demands and there are no dead reptiles (amphibians?) in my house that I know of.
It feels like I haven’t been at work for about a month (even though I was working on Friday morning) so I should think about easing myself back gently you have heard it called that before so just stop it. I’ve got some marking to finish and some sampling of other people’s marking to do if they’re finished.
I’m playing football tonight with some work colleagues I haven’t seen for about a year so that’s pretty exciting.
It’s the silly toddler’s second birthday. She’s having a really tricky time at the moment - meltdown over breakfast then 30 seconds of scooting on her new scooter in the park before she fell off and demanded a new cardigan amd for me to wash her hands and scooter.
Will the aquarium be fun or a vehicle for tantrums? Let’s see!
Started the day with a swim in the lake. Amazing start to the day, and it’s a 5 min walk so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be an amazing start to every day…
Have to wait in for a parcel and then go and collect another parcel.
Hopefully once my postman duties are complete, I’ll have time to go for a little bike ride. Nothing too strenuous, just ease myself back in after a week off.
Eldest daughter’s school has been subject to a massive cyber attack, and have lost all of their data - so she’s unexpectedly off school for a bit longer.
Very tired - late afternoon pints yesterday (plus a generally drinky weekend) led to me going to bed early (9:45) which always results in my waking up stupid early and then having shitsleep after that
Coffee/ work blah blah D&D tonight () Gonna stay in all week and recharge
Morning Monday. I feel perversely glad it’s Monday morning - I’ve got a hellish week that I’ve been dreading for about two months, but I figured the sooner it starts the sooner it’s over?! Little life hack for you there Going away this weekend too so reaaallllyy counting down the days.
Was in a bit of a fug yesterday (see MH thread) - feeling a little better today. Have downloaded the NHS weight loss app and am on the first day of their 12 week plan. Got to start somewhere, I guess.
