In from walkies ... at least I remembered my gloves this morning! Tea & toast time. Have a good day all!

Trigger Happy · 29-10-2019 8:58am

That's a proper early winter frost out there. Might stop on in bed until it has cleared. But am too excited to stay still for long.

Kitty6277 · 29-10-2019 9:46am

College-side. Early for a 9am for once :eek: very little traffic on the way in, and it didn’t slow to a crawl in the usual place. Could get used to this!

Ted_YNWA · 29-10-2019 10:05am

Workside, too noisy, why didn't I work from home today.

Incredible Hulk mode is loading.

Could be that a lot of Primary Schools might be on Mid Term break this week Kitty ?

Coffee time !

Pretzill · 29-10-2019 10:17am

Morning everyone - another gorgeous October day - I love a bright, cold and dry winter. Not as frosty here as recent days. Off out for the morning.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 29-10-2019 12:22pm

Taking a coffee break from car washing. A lovely bright morning and mild, if out of the east wind, great for getting things done,

I've been offered the option of surgery abroad. Most of the cost recuperable. Heart started knocking around in my chest when I opened the letter. It was a long time coming. It will be life changing.

Meanwhile I'm staying close to home today.

29-10-2019 12:46pm

Deskside, that's all.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 29-10-2019 1:59pm

Watching diggers breaking ground for a new house across the fields in the distance. These will be our new nearest neighbours.

smurfjed · 29-10-2019 2:53pm

Smurf you must be close to your holidays now, hope your truck gets fixed before that happens

Truck done, new lifting arm fitted. Decided to do work training in November rather than Dec/Jan so off to Dubai on Saturday, then one month off for holidays and guess what, my lovely house still hasn't got an extension roof or doors and that's before they start on the interior.

In two minds about going to Ireland to a hotel, or driving around France

Amazing news.

Made me think how we all float about in life and online, grumbling or joking about this and that, and mostly never know what big battles other people may be fighting.

Trigger Happy · 29-10-2019 5:36pm

I think I am getting old. Want to be wintering in warmer climates like some pensioners do.

Grandeeod · 29-10-2019 6:15pm

At home. Goin on the beer home side and gonna enjoy it! A long weekend of work and domestic chores and family fun. Tonight it's all about me!

Ted_YNWA · 29-10-2019 6:19pm

Homeward bound after leaving the coal face.

Gremlinertia · 29-10-2019 6:25pm

Pondering work trundle, but in front of a blazing stove. Ugh.

Was thinking that Mam but the road would get busy with people heading to the city for work I would have assumed. Of course I could always be wrong on that and the schools could have been the reason for the very little traffic

The Crazy Cat Lady · 29-10-2019 7:29pm

deskside, had a busy day today, wrecked now

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 29-10-2019 7:38pm

Fire is now lit and going to have a good read of the paper. I love these busy, clear, bright autumn days.
Got lots done outside and half the parish seemed to be out walking and enjoying the good weather among the autumn colours.

Smurf, it's not that cold. High of 11c and low of 3c.

Too many stories to tell...will write a book and send you a link.

Been just mad busy with family, friends and work. Apart from 3 days alone in Lisbon I haven't had a break from chatting until about 2 hours ago since the start of the month. I love my alone time so am burnt out.

Kitchen table. My mind is made up. Mrs G and little G understand. I just had to get jarred tonight after making my mind up earlier. I'm away in January.

Congrats Grandeeod, best of luck with it.
Jan is a fair way off, lots of time to get used to the idea and plan around it.

honeybear · 29-10-2019 10:41pm

Best of luck Grandeeod! London only a skip away. Looking forward to hearing more of your next adventure!

Kitty6277 · 29-10-2019 11:36pm

Best of luck G, I hope it all goes well for you.

Strange evening. Unable to think/post..

JupiterKid · 29-10-2019 11:44pm

Deskside at home in my home office/spare bedroom, reveiwing the final draft of a dissertation of one of my final year students that I am supervising. It is superb work and I'm very pleased - but I'm very tired as I got sod-all deep sleep last night.

Off to the leaba for me by midnight!

cj maxx · 29-10-2019 11:46pm

Sitting watching the debate on sky sports, realising what I am and the steps I need to take.
