Had it dropped on us today that from next week we're going to be sharing office space with the 2 other placement teams in a different building, on a Weds. In classic style it went out via the shared Teams channel before our manager told us all 🙄 But it'll mean more daylight than we're used to!

FFS doctors cancelled due to illness so another week to wait before I can switch HRT (hopefully 🤞🏼).

1 year since the loss of lovely Amber today. I figured a somewhat messy, creative endeavour referencing one of her photographs felt appropriate. Hug your loved ones, be kind to yourselves, embrace your creativity - especially the imperfect kind💛

Being able to amend bank/card payments in most banking apps and HSBC having a signable PDF document that you have to send, is ridiculous.

Haven't worn my varifocals for work since pre-Covid because I got too used to wearing single-vis intermediates at home where I'm closer to my work screens. Now trying to tune my eyes in for work because I'm needing them more for everyday and swapping glasses all the time is a pain. Also walking

Robin getting to grips with the hanging feeders. I've moved the smaller feeder from the bottom of the garden (where I can't see it from the house) and stuck it in the willow. Blue tits and others love the willow as well and there was a pair on the nuts most of the afternoon as a result.

Had my first-ever NHS Over40 (+13) health check this morning. Just a series of questions, BP and bloods drawn (bonus thyroid check as was overdue) and menopause chat isn't being implemented yet (April I think) so wasn't discussed 🤷🏼♀️ BP was perfect though 🥳

Someone(thing) had fun with the feeders last night but of course 2 of the cameras were upstairs charging so I missed whatever shenanigans were going on 🙄

Annoying Bob as I reel off all the Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books that have been adapted for TV for a #houseofgames question. Room on the Broom is my favourite and the best.

Lovely day of pinched nerves, tension headacheyness, clenched jaw/TMJ and my brain telling me it's something worse. FFS stop it 🧠

FFS. Ordered a pair of earrings, nothing has arrived. Checked with seller, tracking shows delivered Saturday. Checked tracking myself, yep delivered. Then noticed the tracking map showed Birmingham; I'm not in Birmingham? Back on to the site to msg seller... And spotted my friend's address from the

Ready for doing the #biggardenbirdwatch tomorrow. Was out with mum most of the day so topped up too late for any takers except the squirrel, whose own feeder was also topped up but apparently it preferred the bird seed 🙄

Neighbour across the road has got a skip, and seems to be just using it as a bin at the moment. On Xmas Day she/her kids just chucked all their wrapping paper in it loose, which the wind then redistributed all over the road. Now it's overflowed and is again being redistributed by the weather 🙄
