I've had a week off, I've put my alarms back on. I'm going to try and start the regime of hiding my second phone so I have to get out of bed to turn the alarm off. And not get back in bed.

Today I wore my not-Christmas-but-seasonal jumper with the squirrels on it. Please pretend you can't see where I dropped egg yolk down it (twice) at the garden centre café.

Went and got my parents' tree today. Sad that we will not have the annual tree inspection from Georgie this year (and the subsequent freak out when she realises it's come in the house) so here is some archive footage of the 2023 inspection.

We've had a week off and @jimofthenorth.bsky.social has just set off home back to the north and now I am just drifting, wandering lonely as a cloud.
I might have a hot chocolate.

We had a Travelodge breakfast last week and @jimofthenorth.bsky.social had a croissant that looked like it had come off of one of those breakfast displays in Traitors.

He kissed the hand! Then THEN when it turned out she wasn't a real nun they did a snog in a cemetery!
Playing kojak bingo. There is a nun. Will he try to kiss her on the cheek? I am 99% sure he'll definitely kiss her hand.

Here is a little cut off beach in Ardentinny Scotland you can get to along a path and then down a few rocks. Just out of shot is the picturesque submarine base around the corner.

Although it hasn't been feeling that cold today, the flat is currently 14.7 so I've given in and put the storage heater on for the first time. That means by 7:30am it will kick in and I'll be gently cooked by the time my alarm goes off.

Needed a job, agency sent me there, fortunately I was efficient enough for them to keep me. It's not a career, it's a job that I've never left. I have to remind myself regularly of the ultimate end result of what i do every day just to keep myself going.

As @jimofthenorth.bsky.social has left work late and now he's off to a birthday shenanigans I am sat on the sofa in my jammies watching Nativity. The sound of children singing goes straight through me but the rest has got me hooked.

One of the parts I enjoy about going to the Dentist, second only to spending loads of money, is you go in there and you often come out in a worse state than when you went in. I've got 4 weeks to wait for my filling and I'm sure when he was poking around with his pointy stick he's loosened something.

I have just clocked off for my week off. Obviously if I remember something ridiculous I will log back on again.

I've made a terrible mistake.
I'm wearing my onesie and now I need a wee.
I'm like a snake trying to dislocate its jaw trying to get the sleeves off.

Rod Stewart asking if he's sexy is quite the distraction while I wait.
Good morning from outside the Dentist. I suppose I better go inside and meet my fate. However I still would rather do this than be in the team meeting that I am missing.

I'm off work next week. In time held tradition my colleague at the next desk has rocked up today with a cold. Three people have said to her "have you got a cold?" and she said I'm not sure. You 110% have a cold AND a cough is developing, could you not have waited until next week when I wasn't there?

I had a lovely dream, we were having a sunny afternoon sat in the grounds of a ruined Castle, a band playing on the grass. Someone had given me a tiny kitten to hold, and the most important part is I wasn't stressed about this baby the size of my hand, I just held it while it slept all afternoon.
