Great idea Sardonicat! Ya know he (or she) seemed happy as pie hopping around. I told him he could spin by my apartment as I always make crumbs for the small birds and leave them on my balcony.

Deskside at the coalface. Busy getting through my usual Monday mountain of work emails...

Part of one of my pre-molars came out eating toffee last night. So just sorted a dentist appointment for Thursday. Oh joy of joys!!

Deskside, wondering whatever my boss has been smoking lately. Those requests he‘s sending are just insane...

Oh, and does anyone happen to have a fire extinguisher lying around? I seem to have over done it with the chillis for lunch... :pac:

I technically could, but if there was work in the bed I'd lie on the floor. :P

I once pulled out a filling while eating a curly wurly. Most expensive piece of chocolate I ever ate.

It was a wisdom tooth (which apparently should never have been filled), so dentist decided on extraction.

120 for the extraction
50 for follow up appointment 2 days later
30 for painkillers as I had dry socket
3 days off work.

Curly wurlies now banned from the house :mad:

Little feckers. I left out a load of food ball for them this weekend on the feeder hanger and not one bird has stopped by yet.
Cocking their beaks up at my food!

I have a filled wisdom :eek:
I'm also waiting on a replacement filling on a molar that came out by itself. It's causing no pain or trouble thankfully.

Car side. I had to go to Boots for necessaries cheap necessaries. Out I come with make up brushes, glowy body cream, hair bobbins, and shimmery blusher.

Also I got a quote for fancy pants chairs for the wedding, nearly €900. Jaysus.
I have a vision dammit!!!! :pac:

I'm high as a kite.

Mine are doing the same, they haven't touched the feeders at all.

Neighbours cat has been spotted doing it's business in front garden, but no signs in the back garden.

We've been feeding them for a few years now (baby in highchair, looking out at birds = 5 mins peace )

Suddenly we're not worthy.

Evening all Sorry Dave but your friend Rusty has some nice photos up but you certainly can’t beat Careless whisper

I now would love a curly wurly Instead I’m tucking into a lovely homemade beef stew

Grem I hope your back gives you some relief

My birds love my seed and fat balls so I don’t know what Ye are doing wrong

The Inbetween is mine

The pair of Robins in my back garden actually show up looking for food at first light. I oblige everyday. One morning, one of them was literally on the step at the patio door waiting. I don't bother with feeders. The crows etc get distracted with food left overs at the back of the garden, while the little lads are treated nearer the door.

As for the talk of complaining about work, I know it's a cliche, but you really don't know how lucky you are in the current circumstances to actually have a concrete reason to get out of bed in the morning even if it's working from home. I'm not lecturing in any fashion (I appreciate people have personal circumstances) but I haven't had that work experience in 10 months. Any work I have done since then has been very very limited and the rolling restrictions make it impossible to get my new start up going too. It's been two steps forward and three steps back in all aspects of my work situation. But I don't stay in bed all day. New reasons and routines had to be developed to keep us all sane and the mental health ship afloat. School was one of them with Ms G. Now that it's at home, we simply adapted the day and got an extra hour in the leaba as a result.:D Most days I don't use it, but Mrs G and I insist on Ms G being at her laptop by 8.45am Mon-Fri. at the latest.

Financially, it's been a fooking disaster, but only in terms of "extras" in terms of stuff we have no choice but to go without. I won't be changing the car anytime soon and holidays in any shape or form in better times will be a complete no no. However we eat well, enjoy a few drinkies at home, the odd takeaway and the bills have been paid. The savings have taken a hit, but my recent luck of winning a small few quid on Euromillions helped top the savings back up after a few little treats. At some point we will need to dip in again. It's horrible for me being on the PUP. Fooking hate it, but if it wasn't provided, we would be in a way worse state.

Sorry for the ramble lads. I really am. We are all in a decent place in the G house. It's very different to the pre covid days and never had the chance to adapt to me working in London earning a fooking fortune.:mad: Take any positive you can from any life changes due to this poxy virus. It aint easy. Appreciate the work day trudge to the office, home office or wherever it happens. Feckin hell, I said this wouldn't be a lecture and now it reads like a sermon.:D Stay cool and safe all!

I tip my hat to you G and everyone dealing with these tough times / circumstances. Some days I pi$$ and moan to myself and it’s really not justified. I know we’re all allowed to feel how we feel, but at the end of the day I guess we know in our guts if we’re really badly off or not. You can use the time to make the new startup extra awesome and just take over when we get out!

Definitely Grandee, I count my blessings that the show goes on for me in (a very different landscape of) work. I don't do well outside routine so it's a blessing.
Plus PUP sounds so gammy
I'd be giggling going into the post office asking for my puppy

Couchside after an unexpected busy Monday.
Not overly impressed.

I can't wait for the big wherers night out when we're all vaccinated! Where will it be happening?? I vote for Kilkenny!! Grand and easy for me to get to. Or Wexford. If you're going to make me travel a distance, then I'll suggest Galway please!
