    If we're signing stuff into law, I nominate a 4 day working week, Fridays really should be the weekend don't you think?

    Agreed.

    I’m a big fan of Thursdays anyway so making Thursday the new Friday makes sense.

    A few companies have trialed 4 day week and apparently there is no real loss in productivity. There is just less messing about during the week.

    Hopefully, it is something that will happen someday.

    Its the kids birthday today, so when asked what cake they'd like they both declared they love mums Baileys Cheesecake so the mrs made one last night which is sitting in the fridge awaiting devouring this evening!! As we cant do much for them given the restrictions we're getting them their favourite take away delivered too, so that was a coin toss as my daughter wanted pizza and my son wanted indian... indian won... so my calorie intake today will be that of a small country! But hey we want to enjoy the kids birthday in the middle of lockdown so I'm not going to beat myself up about the few extra 1000 calories today:D

    My 3 had birthdays in the last couple of months. We did the same - what cake do you want and what takeaway do you want. And pancakes for breakfast. A few extra treats and maybe a movie and they were happy out. When noone else is having birthday parties they really don't seem to mind not having one either, happy enough to get spoiled at home. We saved a fortune.

My wife outdid herself and was more additive then Pringles! Thanks goodness it's all gone with the neighbours get some so we didn't have to eat it all.

    Yeah, I felt much better yesterday when it was a crisp, bright, sunny day, rather than on the dark rainy days that preceded it!

    It's amazing how brightness and weather can affect your mood. And a bright, sunny Friday can never hurt. :)

    Helps make up for the chore that is January.

    It makes such a difference!

    I don't know how they deal with the winter in countries where it's dark all the time for about 3 months. :eek:

    Really seeing the difference in the morning as well. Its great to see the mornings and evenings getting a good bit brighter. Then we can all look forward to them getting shorter again LOL.

    Brightening up into a lovely evening out there. Hope it stays like this until 5, gonna wrap up a few minutes early & get out for a walk. My knee is a good bit better today, haven't needed any strapping or anti-inflammatories so gonna chance a walk to loosen it up. The fresh air will do me the world of good too.
