Thanks all.

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

    Another 14 hour day yesterday but the skies were clear and blue, we actually had a hitchhiker who wanted to come with us. These guys look cute but they consume their own body weight daily, so when there are millions of them, they decimate farmland. Right now they are a huge problem in east Africa, and are jumping across the Red Sea to Arabia.

    Started my diet today. Onwards and upwards to infinity and beyond! Looking forward to being healthier again. I'll probably crash in a couple of days once I run out of my gorge reserves :pac:

    I think my wife has fallen in love with Yerman from Normal People.
    I need to get down to argos and pick myself up a cheap man's necklace. That will win her back.

    Have quite the headache at the moment. I'd almost consider less caffeine, but... no.

    I thought caffeine was good for headaches. I know after a lumbar puncture they say you should drink caffeine drinks to help with headache.

    Snap! I made the mistake of trying to quantify everything I have to mark this month, and between undergrad and postgrad essays and undergrad dissertations I have close to 300,000 words to get through. If you hear about a murder rampage in the South East in the next few weeks you know who's responsible...



    On the plus side I just had my last online class of the term (attendance: 10%), so I am currently sitting with a bowl of ice cream to celebrate.

    How difficult is it to attend an online class?!

    I spent all day in my home office/work station/tech desk/edit suite. It was all of these things in a box room.:eek: Cleaned out unnecessary crap and personal stuff like pics and silly ornaments. I did a kind of feng shui thing on it. It's now just a production space and a very spacious one too. Actually very nice to sit in. All I need now is some work to do in it.:o I also reorganised gear and flight cases and I'm now reformatting hard drives.

    These are third level/university 1st years, zero mature students, so I think/hope children are a problem for very few! Their contact hours were reduced from 4 hours to 50 mins hours a week, so I dunno...


    I have given up on everything and am going to go explore the woods with the dog. Not a bad evening here at least :)

    Cleaning up my desktops on work screens and personal screens. What a rivetting time I'm having. What day is it? It's Thursday isn't it? Okay to have a beer. Got some bottles of Molson today after finding just one last night. The Tech desk will be referred to from here on in as the Production Space.:D

    Spent alot of the day in the home office but got a rake of work done so tomorrow should be just a check in day. Currently couchside, fire lighting, looking out at the miserable weather, bit of reading for an hour or two and an early night I think.

    Kitchenside. Very cold here too Mam. Damp cold. Fires might be lit cold.

    For some reason my neighbours picked this evening to have a BBQ and make a tonne of noise, can't even be annoyed because 1. they're really really nice and 2. not a peep out of them the entire lockdown. I need call in and show them how its supposed to be done :p

    One of my cats has arrived in smelling of muck spreading. She's clean, but I think her coat has absorbed the smell. No lap time for her this evening.

    The oul muck spreading is a feckin smelly affair. Started here on yesterday morning and only eased up this morning. Luckily the weather was crap. You wouldn't sit out the back garden in it anyway.
