Cracking start to the day by safebruv

Trying to make a workshop into a teams meeting as i type. It’s not gonna work and is really quite important and my names gonna be mud.

10cm or so of snow here, so the bulldozers are out in force. Felt very short on daylight before but the sun is creeping out now. I like this time of year as I can see the lake through the trees (can’t normally when they are full of leaves ofc).

Lots of work to do today, the tv was up half the night coughing her lungs out so I didn’t have the finest night of sleep. We’ll get there though, for sure.

Supposed to be my first day back at work but wheezy, spluttery and brain fogged so gonna call in sick in a minute. Catholic guilt intensifying. Compounded a bit by taking my son to nursery and feeling a bit of loss about going back to a “normal” amount of time with him, and not being able to exercise as I usually do. Feeling very early January today.

Made a sausage butty for breakfast like an absolute legend.

Woke up at 05:30 to a vomiting child. That’s me off work for the day, which is an annoyance as there’s loads to get done.

It does mean I’ve already watched ‘Mary Poppins’ though, cracking film.

This Post Paid For By PROF$.

Morning comrades

I suck at getting myself ready and out of the house in the morning argh.

Luckily I have a contingency train for my commute.

Nevertheless the Routine is going to need some finessing

Back to school and I’m also feeling about 30% better :blush:

Made it into the office through walking verrrrry slowly on ice. Feel exhausted now and the day’s not even started.

Kiddo was really sad to go to school so I took him in the sledge and pushed him down a hill on it. He was well up for it then halfway down he fell off and absolutely stacked it face first in the snow. Got even sadder. Top dadding.

Woke up sick, humbug

Woke early so finished off Attack of the Clones in bed, my TV has switched from temporarily switching off to the screen flickering/showing no picture but sound being fine now so that’s a task for today to look at replacements.

Soundtracking today with this playlist on shuffle https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0oFJeFlvxzZffYCbvHytxH?si=iuWEhEpUTse0n_Cxybv6Cw&pi=e7yycL75SLaX2

Morning good people, nice early stroll to get some coffee as I’d forgotten I’d run out. Really not getting tired of the sea each morning (however…appreciate everyone is getting tired of my taking pictures of the sea).
Today will be filling and sanding walls and skirting pre-painting.

Back in the office today. There was about ten minutes of light snow, just as I arrived - just enough to have that enjoyable snow driving experience as it’s falling around you, but without the fear of sliding off to an early demise, and lasted long enough for me to take a little video to send home where there is no snow.

It’s dawned on me that I’ve got an overwhelming about of work to do before the weekend for this scuba diving course I’m booked onto. I’m hoping the first few sections that I completed last night are the hardest work and the rest won’t be quite so onerous. Thankfully after today, I’m neither in the office, nor especially busy.

And it’s back to work, A.G.A.I.N.

(I was ‘in’ for 2 days last week, but still)

Work, exercise class at 3pm. I briefly felt quite poorly last night. I’m sure sleeping on my kid’s floor for 4 hours last night has really helped whatever that was :confused:

WFHing today. Traffic around here was silly.

My parcel is with YODEL :face_in_clouds:
