Alright. Slept in until 8.40, that’s rare. Still feel like shit mind. Listening to a nice playlist and making kiddo brekkie. Will bounce off to work at 10.30 ish.

Good morning @colon_closed_bracket, good morning Tuna, SSF, Zanimos, Shucks, Avocado, Ynot, Cansy, Hoogy, Rob, Warny, Ella, Timbo, Charlie, Sheeldzy, Rich, good morning DiS and many happy returns of the day to @kermitwormit and @anon5266188 and @LastAstronaut all from the boards, to Eddie Redmayne from the newts, Andy Carroll from the benches, and Nigella Lawson from the meecrowavés. I trust we’re all commemorating the arrival of @Tuna’s boiler, as well as the anniversary of the first ever general election in Vietnam. I’ll also be pouring one out to honour the passing of Louis Braille .:: . *.:… taken from us just 169 years ago today. Elbow bump any fellow DiSers in your bubble to celebrate Christmas Eve on the Julian calendar, or Pathet Lao Day. I’m off to feel some bumps, knead some dough and pout.

Morning all (and happy birthday)!

The only festive remnants we have are in the form of a 1kg bag of mixed Lindor that was intended as Xmas gifts but didn’t get used. I’m working on it though.

Wor Lass is on call for triage all day. I’ve got two hours of teaching at 9.30 and 1.30. All of her admin and team leaders are off. Today will be a struggle.

We have some candy canes in pot and given my haste to take decs down on boxing day they’re stressing me out quite a bit. JUST EAT THEM!

got a work zoom at 10, the same time M has a zoom with her teacher, hoping I can install it on her old tablet :crossed_fingers:

Had a dream about Jeff goldblum being my neighbour and I was going out with a former diser (who i always dream about, bit weird)*

*i declare brief dream chat is allowed in lockdown

Morning friends and mortal enemies

Would you like to read the poem I wrote about Gravy 5 years ago?

  • I’d love to read your Ode to Gravy, you romantic, poetic young gnome
  • Not interested in your gravy fetish, get dressed you’re going to be late for work!

@Joke2000 I got myself some fizzy fish and they are delicious but you could’ve warned me that a) I’d be slapping my chops like a bloodhound and b) that they’re a risk for pulling any fillings I might have out.

My uncle rang me to talk about puzzles (cute) and inform me that my cousin has tested positive for covid (she’s fine, ergo I don’t want to hear about it. MY special day. Typical of one of my family members to get a potentially deadly disease on the anniversary of my birth. So selfish.)

Having a mimosa in bed. Might pop a pizza in the oven for breakfast.

Our kid has an old Kindle Fire and the zoom client works on there!

HB all birthdayists! Another day of simultaneously not much but fucking everything happening all at once awaits me. Yay!

I am always unsure if decorations must be down on 12th night or before it so we pull em down on the 5th.

Anyway I hope you have a good epiphany despite the lockdown.

It is time for my midmorning coffee but the boss and handyman have pinched the kettle to try and thaw out some boring valve outside rasserfrasserrasserfrasser

Oh butts, sorry :frowning:

Does the tablet have a browser? Zoom can launch from browser without the app, I think

It’s official. Nobody in the world talks as much as my 6 year old when I am trying to work. Please close the competition.
