Just still have a suprisingly high amount of holidays left and nothing coming up other than Christmas which warrants them so may as well use it tomorrow the night after something I do have on, even if I’m not planning on drinking or anything
Dingers did i ever tell you about a time i crashed one of those viewings by accident, was supposed to meet my friends for a late event and turned up a bit early, there was someone at the door and one of my friends was there with her workplace for the event and had put me down on the list. The person at the door couldn’t find my name and i insisted I’m invited and maybe my name is misspelled but I’m definitely invited. I told her my friend is probably inside now, and I’ll go find her. She gave me a tote bag and let me in, and i went to the toilet to message the group chat and explain that I’m early and had trouble getting in. They were like “the event is next week???” and i realised I’m not 15 min early like i thought, but a whole week. Was confused, wondering why the place is even open and what’s going on. It turns out it was a private viewing for family and friends of the inventor of a robot i just stood there for the speech out of politeness and then left i still have the tote bag, it was a good one
Awww! That’s so cool! Wish I had the confidence to crash more parties, I once went to a blogger do with my mate and because we spent so long gossiping we ended up being present for the staff after-party
Apocryphally, isn’t almost everything in the Metro letters page made up?
A friend-of-a-friend worked on it around 2007 and said something to the effect that anything that isn’t signed as being ‘via email’ is just page filler that they made up on the spot.
what a surprise…i can’t be arsed! Hope you’re all ok.
My son is doing loads better now - still off school though so back to wfh with childcare. He’s going to have a lot of tele time. He’s going to be an irritant but glad to have him smiling/back to normal to be honest.
Got to bath the dog, children and myself later, hopefully finish my book, fit in a good record to listen to and try to keep my negative thoughts at bay then the day should be a success.
