Sunday, first of the 1 October 2023 this year

Well hello.

I am up early to get the most goodness I can out of my Sunday. Wifey is out at a dance competition until about 3pm. I have started with egg, beans and cheese on toast. Feeling pretty ready to enjoy the day now and the weather is looking roughly acceptable.

Gotta stain the deck, and gotta repaint the lounge walls. Also gotta do some exercise and finally I’m considering having pizza for lunch coz a new, decently priced italian place just opened seconds down the road :o

now u

Alright xylo. Sounds like a packed ol’ day.

I…

  • Slept like shit
  • Am making pancakes
  • Will be escorting my daughter to a 6th birthday party this afternoon
  • Having bangers and mash later

Fed up man.

i hope the bookending of good food choices helps ease the day my friend.

hey buddy. i should have considered the folks who would be up at 8.19 on a sunday are all parents :smiley:

i hope your mum feels better. I’m seeing mine later today to sort out moving things in the garage around. Gotta say as much as sometimes it can be a bit tiring nipping to mum to fix stuff etc, i’m glad she’s only just down the road!

Yeah my parents are a short drive away which is good. Spent an hour last week looking at old photos of me as a teen, and whilst I remember the clothes and the spots, it is the incidental stuff in the background that hits you as things have slowly changed.

The toothbrush holder, the dish clothes, the glasses of irn bru, the carpet in the hall, things like that. Staring in wonderment at the melancholy time capsule

Hullo

Taking the kids swimming, then taking them to see their great grandma for Sunday lunch (which wilp be great tbf) and then taking the kids to see the Paw Patrol film (:scream:)

Morning all :wave:

Woke up worrying about a situation at work, so that’s a good start to the morning :tired_face: also had to administer anti-inflammatory drugs to a rabbit, which is horrid as she doesn’t want to be held long enough to take it.

Having one of those mornings where there’s no corner of my brain to hide in :frowning:

On the plus side, I made a veggie lasagne yesterday so I just need to stick that in the oven for lunch.

Slept well for the first time in a couple of days so I feel like a new man.

Trying to deal with yet another awful work situation where I’m essentially taking them to a tribunal, which is ultimately going to be the best thing for me but it’s also leaving a knot in my stomach. Hoping (but not expecting) it can be resolved quickly.

Morning

Tired and hungry. Just put some porridge on, so that should deal with the hunger at least.

Going to see my nephew later cos it’s his 1st birthday at some point this week.

Didn’t get round to mowing the lawn yesterday, so must get that done today at some point.

Morning. Off to my parents for my dad’s birthday, so think it’ll be a day of eating and playing with whatever toys my nephew brings who has been waiting since 6.30 to go and play.

Bit of a shaky start to the day, I didn’t sleep well and I’ve had some bad news that knocked me for six. Going to make some coffee, grab a croissant, and wrap myself in a heated blanket until things feel better.

Morning morning

Working this afternoon. BOOOOOOoooooo.
Had an eczema flare-up yesterday which is annoying. Oh well.

Pillow talk: having a nightmare. Got three new pillows the last few weeks, 2 memory foam and 1 bamboo. Rubbish. Although the bamboo does fell nice to the touch, kind of silky. Having to use my trusty knackered old feathered friend until I can find something decent.

Hello.

Been for a ride already, now I’m in charge of the toddler for the day and I asked her what she wants to do and she said “go see nana” so I guess we’re driving to see my mum :person_shrugging:
