I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 10)

Is it even referred to as hump-day anymore?

I've had no idea what day it is for the past week.

Morning Wherers!

Currently beside, been awake since 6 lurking around Boards and Reddit catching up on things. I spent most of my evening yesterday starting to watch the series Banshee again. Great show if you like gratuitous violence, sex and bad language in your TV shows! It’s IMDb rating is impressive.

That is impressive Dave!. *bookmarks*

Morning lovely Wherers!
Hit the hay early and had a dreamy sleep. Doggies delighted to see me … we were a happy bunch heading off for walkies! It’s lovely to see the calves out in the fields and hear birdies chirping happily. Cats with their bellies full very contented too. One thing I’ve noticed since social distancing began, is that all my neighbours have become flashers … instead of stopping to chat, there is an unspoken agreement to flash lights in greeting as we pass in cars. I smile when I see the twinkly lights. Saw my beautiful new niece again yesterday … she looked like an eskimo sunggled up in her warm coat! Adorable! Hope all are keeping well and have a good day.

....So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run...

RIP John Prine



Morning all,

The covid has taken John Prine - I'm a fan

While I get the reasons, part of me is uncomfortable about these new powers the cops have, it's like turning us into a police state by a government that no longer has a mandate.

In other news it a nice sunny morning but cool just 4C

I think I'll have Weetabix for breakfast as I saw my first swallow yesterday and the summer is in

Good morning lovely wherers.
Had a lovely sleep but still struggling a bit with waking think it’s still the after effects of the hour change.
4 day week in work and looking forward to a 4 day weekend. Might actually get to grips with some of the long finger jobs like weeding and cleaning the floors.
Porridge and coffee time.

Skedaddle time, it's gone a bit foggy, saves my peepers from the flaring light ball..

Show off. What I wouldn't give to have a packet of Tayto. Ate my last on St Patrick's Day.

Morning all,

The covid has taken John Prine - I'm a fan

Just started to really appreciate him recently. Very sad news.

I am having a struggle day. Have taken an hour out of work to just decompress. My sister, the most amazing, sweetest, smartest, most beautiful person on the planet starts work this week as a volunteer nurse assistant in Edinburgh and I am terrified.

She has a master's in psychology, has worked in some of the most prestigious university research programmes and is doing this coz she can't get a job she wants at the moment.

Please tell me she will be ok? I am so scared of losing the brightest light I have ever known.

My older brother, sister-in-law, some of my best friends and other family members are frontline staff but her volunteering to do this has hit me hardest.

Morning everyone, hope you're all well.

My little activities during the day are keeping me going. Reading, bits of CPD, crocheting, I'm going for my walk every day, I've got podcasts to listen to. What's everyone else been doing?

Currently sitting on the couch with the news on. Will switch it off now and try to keep away from unofficial sources and social media during the day.

Currently watching Eddie Murphy Saturday Night Live
Still brilliant all these years later... "Hot in the hot tub" !

Morning all

Happy Hump Day!!!

Have to get a few bits in the shop and I'll see how many checkpoints I come across so far none

IamMetaldave

Deskside, workside, not a lot going on which is cool

Went for my morning stroll this morning, not as nice as yesterday but it did the job!

Tunes - some awful song Apple have for the hold music. It's the 3rd time I have heard it and while i hated the first listen it's starting to grow on me! Kinda like the "Moving" tune Vodafone used years ago, it eventually broke me

Sephiroth_dude

Coffee ordered, I only had three bags left imagine :O

Haven't heard from Guy....how's your Mum Guy?

Very sick regardless of whether she has corona or not. I had a video call with her yesterday, the first time I've actually seen her in ages and she looked very ill. Very pale, shaky and frail along with the cough and breathing issues. It was very sad to see. How is your Dad doing? I hope he is ok.

I'm making my way back through what I have missed, I am sending out hugs and positive wishes to Witchie, Leggy and everyone else too. We will get back to real life hugs with people, we just have to keep up hope and stay positive. No shame at all in self pity or feeling sad, you'd be an unfeeling human being to not be that way at times.

Mornnnniiing!

Gorgeous day here,

Quick cup of tea and out to see what I can do with what I have, in the absence of garden centres, topsoil, or an intact hoe and spade

It's time to Till the SOIL..is it too late to grow tea, coffee and tobacco

Just watched a clip of Mr. Ryan of the WHO and I'm left with concerns.

Just 'cause Gemma's paranoid doesnt mean they're not ...!

I am only joking and I don't think anyone should worry or panic, that only hinders thinking anyway, but I think it would be more strange to not have any concerns.


As ever all people can do is look out for each other

Sardonicat

Best wishes to your Mum, Guy. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to not be able to be with her now.

Have a viritual hug.

Really nice day here too, I’m about to get up for breakfast, then do a home workout and have a shower

Deskside - famished. Any sambos going???

It's so beautiful here, you could actually tan in the sun today.

I was a bit wistful while out footering in the front garden. Normally during the summer, while I wouldnt expect visitors often, it's always possible someone will unexpectedly pop up...maybe once in 6 weeks. Now of course it probably can't happen. Still, it's a privilege to get to experience days like this.

If anyone wanted to pm me about anything, my messages aren't full now.

Home office side and thoroughly fed up with this lockdown situation now. Need a dose of enthusiasm. Or strong meds.

Another pic from yesterday

After hearing the most appalling thing this morning. A girl I know approached a man who had a 3 year court order against him for domestic violence trying to create more trouble for the woman who took the order out against him. There are some absolute psychos out there for sure. That’s a certain type of evil.

Anyway, enjoying the sun! Cans, of course.

I enjoy having a nice drink of an evening during this crisis...but if this headline came through it would push me over the edge. Calls to close the off licences.
