Day off today because US company I work for has given everyone today's US day off!
After a traditional trip to the tip I've got on the tram to wander about random places. First the Viaduct Garden at Castlefield. Now I've ended up at Media City for no good reason other than that's where the tram line goes.
Rained for most of last night, i'm running on about 5 hours' sleep and i'm in the office today. luckily there's very little for me to do so i'm lurking lemmy, mastodon and discord lol
Thank god the rain is back to cool me off. On the scorching Saturday I took on the challenge of doing a Beef Wellington. Here is the image of that hard work.
Same this end, it's been bucketing doon for the last couple of days. The backdoor has this bit that's like a fucking quagmire and I'm not too sure how to deal with it. Love mopping up floor every time the dog is let out the back.
Is the rain seeping through the door? We have a similar issue with our backdoor, but haven't worked out if it's a door, doorframe or a something else issue.
I was hoping for a nice break at the weekend, but my freelance clients had other ideas. Worked ten hours straight yesterday, and now heading into a deadline week at work, and deadlines for freelance after work. I really need a day off. Managed to get some rain, tho!
It poured down here last night and I had high hopes but somehow it's sunny and hot again this morning? Feels like a bait and switch, not impressed.
Last week work was a nightmare of technical difficulties so today is gonna be equally a nightmare of recovering from them. I've put extra honey in my tea to help cope. Can't really go out and do social things because other half is off on a lads holiday at the weekend and the last thing we want is germs getting into the house, so I guess it's just us and tv and video games and maybe if we're feeling spicy...a crossword or two.
Goal for the week is to spend less time on Lemmy because currently it's becoming way more addictive than Reddit ever was and that's saying something 😅
(I sound properly grumpy this morning don't I? Clearly not a morning person, or a Monday person, or a person who likes ever being outside of comfy bed ever)
The bastards teased us a thunderstorm warning last night only to quietly remove it and go back to "yeah you're gonna bake". They have played us for absolute fools.
Yes it rained. Got woken up by it once and then again a few hours later by the sound of two local skag heads trying to ride a bicycle down our road to the ATM. So haven't had any decent sleep and I think I've busted my neck sleeping funny. So, yeah, Monday's going great 🥲.
That reminds me got to go to ATM to get cash out for daughters school dinners, still haven't done it for this half term which started on 5th...but if they weren't so backwards as to demand cash/cheque and just let us set up a standing order or do bank transfer maybe I wouldnt keep forgetting until the mad panic to pack the school bag each morning
Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.
Maybe this is our chance to get rid of the tiresome Reddit trope of trying to catch people out in so-called "Americanisms" (that usually just ended up being different British dialects anyway).
Indeed. Also, the "Where are you from" thread highlighted that we have subscribers (Lemmys / Lemmies?) from all over the world, we should welcome everyone even if they spell something differently to you.
Absolutely bounced down last night, on the first date night me and the Mrs have managed to get in a while. It was good though - went to see Chris Hadfield at the Lowry which was very interesting.
Morning everyone. It has indeed rained! Had a good heavy shower yesterday evening. Today is a day of housework and food shopping now that it’s a bit cooler. Starting the week in a relatively positive mood - hopefully that continues!
It rained up here in gloomy Yorkshire. And by rained I mean absolutely tipped it down. This week I need to get a better fan for my bedroom and some new tights. I've sat here for a couple of minutes trying to make a joke about them being related but I just can't think of one. :P
Up at 4.15 trying to get tiny child to sleep. Then at 4.55 slightly larger child wakes up and refuses to go back to sleep. Downstairs at 5.00 watching Sarah and Duck (quack).
I wish my kids were into Sarah and Duck because I absolutely love it. Unfortunately the eldest has outgrown it and the youngest never liked it, despite how often I tried to force it on her. I'm just grateful she likes Hey Duggee
