I don’t care if it’s nearly June … I’ve put the heating on.

@andycarolan 🤣 I don’t think it ever left! Jesus it’s nearly the shortest day, and on the way back downhill to winter!

Yeah I know, cheery soul aren’t I

@andycarolan living in hope! Though I will moan if it’s hot. Just putting this out there right now cos it will happen. I don’t do extremes of temperature either way. I love the sun though ☀️

Due to poor planning, I've run out of coffee 🚫 ☕

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan oh this is very serious. I’d nip out and get you some but it’s chilly out there and looks like might rain soon. Sorry, an all that.

@andycarolan haha makes my Nescafe Azera Americano ☕️ sounds positively naff! I do make it with lacto free milk though if that boosts my coffee rankings🤣

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan haha coffe snob! Mines more a case of not having strong coffee as I suffer with tachycardia. I drank decaf for about a year and it made no difference so I went back to caffeine as no point missing out!

I’ve not tried oat milk tbh. But I love my lacto free too much to give it up.

@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan I didn’t mind to be honest. Tbf I did have the odd caffeinated one at Costa so I guess the odd treat helped. I probably ended up going back more because my shopping delivery often turned up without my decaf. Was just easier to order caffeinated.

How's everyone doing? I'm on my third flat white here ☕ ☕ ☕ 😅

@andycarolan I’ve reorganised my desk so that’s a start I guess. Hoping for a Costa in a bit.

It's 23.1°C in my office right now. I might have to engage my massive cooling fan. I MUST clean it first though!

@andycarolan this seems unfair, I just put my heating on. I’m freezing!

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan oh sounds like you need that massive fan then. We are in that annoying period where it’s a bit warmer outside but the house is freezing unless heating on. I mean I could go and sit in the garden all day as it’s warmer but I’m not going to 😂

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan oh don’t worry I’ll soon be moaning it’s too hot I’m sure!

OMG, the weather has turned!

The weekend was LOVELY, but today... oh, today... it's nothing short of stormy!

Ugh 😬

@andycarolan I was planning on some gardening today too. I’d need a wetsuit and flippers if I did.

Been left to my own devices for the last few days. Weather was rubbish so stayed in built Sadly have now reached the tragic point of having no more sets left to build 😭😭. Alas, it’s my birthday tomorrow, maybe the birthday fairy will bring me some more🧚

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker I did! I’m devastated now that was the last of my Christmas Lego 😭. I must take some pics of the other kits I had. I was too poorly at the time for photos as just building them wore me out.

I don’t think the birthday fairy is buying me Lego though. I asked for a camera and trainers. 😱 what was I thinking?

Don’t forget photos of the rollerskate. Take some during build I’m keen to see this one as have looked at it a few times.

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker the camera is Cannon rather than Lego. The EOS R50 if you fancy checking it out.

I also requested the funkiest looking vivobarefoot trainers. So over engineered for my ability, but I loved them 🤣 I shall use them indoors on the treadmill. Though don’t imagine me running as even if a bear was chasing me I’d have to let it eat me!

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker my old camera just died on me. Haven’t had a decent one for a while so thought why not.

Barefoot are amazing, so comfy. I have barefoot walking boots, but was nervous buying them as more expensive and wasn’t sure what they’d be like Fortunately Vivobarefoot do a 100 day trial, so took away risk. But no way was I parting with them as they are my favourite.

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker I think for me they were what I needed so it’s hard to say. I spend a great deal of time indoors and barefoot so I find shoes of any kind uncomfortable. My original hiking boots (Merrel) caused me issues with my achilles after a couple of km.
Swapping to barefoot boots instantly stopped it. For me they are light and better balanced when walking.
I guess some might find them different but knowing you can use and return if not happy is good.

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker highly recommend them as a company. Good customer service and great shoes etc.

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker wow it’s so cute. It looks like a fun build, glad you enjoyed it. Good idea not to post spoiler pics, never thought of that.

We had a birthday road trip to the Lego shop today. Came away with the medieval town square so that should keep me out of mischief for a good while.

impulse buy! 🛼

@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan oh this looks great fun. I’m a big fan of Lego though I haven’t tried that set out yet.

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker pictures when done. How many bags does it have out of interest? I’m all for counting the bags and then savouring them so it lasts longer 🤣

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker I have the Vespa set still to build. Keep putting it off as it the last of Christmas sets. Once it’s done, Christmas is finally over though so stringing it out for as long as possible 🤣

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker not going to lie it’s been tough. I keep looking at it. It’ll happen soon.

Great choices. I fancy the camper van too. I need a bigger house and Lego room 🤣

TheTiredHiker,
@TheTiredHiker@toot.community avatar

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker pictures for sure.

Haha 🤔 that might be worth an investigation. How many Lego bricks = a house brick? 😁

@andycarolan @TheTiredHiker seriously driving me crazy, was trying to follow a tutorial video. Given up as spinning ball of doom doing my head in. Interestingly had a day like this about a week ago too so who knows why as it just fixed itself.
