I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

Deskside, about to knock off for a late lunch break.

Have to run out to get a nice birthday card for my Uncle's 80th which is on Friday (he lives up North as do nearly all of my extended family/relatives) and then post it off to make sure it gets to County Fermanagh in time.

Looking forward to my Zoom yoga class this evening! 😊

Thanks to Covid. On call. Working off site. Sipping at coffee house on WiFi. Does it get any better than this?

Yo Seph. Not in my coffee house at the moment. We will be lunching. Only 10 here. But always lurking.

**Runs!**

Well then it can get better 😁

At the tech desk.....still. Looking forward to my oven roasted pork chop with mushrooms, onions and baby boiled spuds later. I may even have a few bottles of beer with it!

Gremlinertia · 18-01-2022 8:15pm

A very tired trundle. Soup amazing though for those that would entertain the combination

Mind yourself there Grem. Do you add the blue cheese in towards the end?

Yup slowly simmer and stir after blending, tiny pinch of nutmeg too. Wife is extremely happy so that'll do!.

Gremlinertia · 19-01-2022 7:59am

Phew, another one nearly done, exhausted

Elyvande · 19-01-2022 8:10am

Morning Grem and wh’erers. Wind has got up a bit out there. Car has to go for a service and I hope to be deskside for a bit too. Mind yourselves.

Just sitting in the lobby at work after having a taco cheese toasted sandwich that I made last night, a banana and a large latte trying to warm myself up before I start at 8am. Feeling really cold after being utterly blasted by a ten second deluge of rain at the bus stop this morning. It just came out of nowhere, one of those freak bursts of rainfall that would soak you in an instant 🌧️🥶

Gremlinertia · 19-01-2022 10:21am

Hahaha that's very me, snoring away..

thomil · 19-01-2022 1:49pm

Tableside...

Not saying I'm tired but this is the kind of day where even my coffee needs a coffee...

Grandeeod · 19-01-2022 10:11pm

Some amount of tumbleweed in here. 😁 Anyway, I was in the cutting room all day and left a lot on the floor. The modern translation is probably lots left in the original file that gets deleted! A bit more to do and then a very very quiet February.

Now watching Michael Kane in Harry Brown. I met the editor in London a couple of years ago.Down in Brick lane having a great curry and beers. I was only there a wet day! What an honour to have a chat with a person that had reached a level way above me and yet had respect for me. These kind of things don't happen in Ireland. Probably why our film and TV industry is still muck filled baloney. I'd take London again if I get the chance.

Rant over.😁 But at least it kept the thread going into the evening!

thomil · 19-01-2022 10:25pm

Oh, I have to steal that for future reference! 😂😂😂

It's always nice when a known expert in your field respects you and your work, Grandeeod. I hope you find some work over there again soon 🙂

Tableside here, hammering out the final few paragraphs of what's shaping up to be a two thousand word monster of a blog post. For some reason, I"ve been feeling really upbeat for most of January so far. Even my journal entries are optimistic, and they're normally where I vent my frustration and fears. I have a feeling that the hammer will fall shortly, though. I know my luck...
