Morning all :wave:

Happy Ash Wednesday everyone!

Is anyone giving anything up for Lent? I’ve told my team that I’m giving up swearing for Lent, and I’m creating a swear jar to go with it. We’ll see how this goes, as there’s lots to swear about at work. Am WFH today so that’s something.

Anyway, here’s the :sun_with_face: DAYLIGHT UPDATE :slight_smile:

Morning! Had a horror show last night as I had to go and pick my daughter up from a gig in Cardiff, and the M4 turned out to be mostly closed so it was diversion central. What should have been a 45 minute trip took two hours, didn’t get home till half one, and my alarm’s gone off at 6:15. You’re not getting the best of me today

It’s my birthday today and against all normal protocols I’m up early for work (I never work on my birthday). Thankfully work today consists of travelling to Barcelona - I believe that there are worse places to spend your birthday.

Morning. No work, no child here… Unsure what to do with myself. Was maybe going to to to a skateboarding session but there are 4 people already booked on, 99% likely all kids and I just don’t know if I can be arsed feeling self-conscious about being there the whole time.

Alternatively… House needs a sort out and tidy, bathrooms need a deep clean, I have books which need reading. Maybe I’ll get DiS to decide.

  • Skateboarding
  • Potter round the house

Taking the kids to soft play today shudders. Weather is so bad. May make something nice for dinner, but don’t know what.

I’ve ticked skateboarding because

  • the session organiser will be glad for you turning up
  • if you’re anything like me, you’ll need a bit of motivation to get up and out to it when there’s other stuff to do
  • you’ll probably enjoy it when you’re there
  • you could set yourself to maybe an hour of getting the essential house bits done when you get home
  • one of us has got to do something interesting today, and I’m WFH all day so it’s not going to be me!

I asked the guy who owns the place and he’s fine with me going, so… Yeah. No excuse really. I’m just feeling a bit lazy and still in the anxious “am I really trying to learn to skateboard??” phase :smiling_face_with_tear:

Got one (1) call this morning and then I’m taking the rest of the day off. I’m saying this having not checked my emails to see if this is actually possible, but I’m daring to dream.
