Good morning everyone

Deskside In the home office on a Friday, with the regions I normally cover closed for bank holiday. Finally some peace and quiet

Oh, and I found that there are Babylon 5 avatars available on boards. Happy

Panda Killa

Bored...bored..bored.... bored!

Did I mention I'm bored?

Going to watch something while the child does her school work... might break out the Matrix trilogy... haven't watched them in years... interesting to see if they have aged well

A Consonant Please Carol

I guess you say, what could make me feel this way? Friday, Friday, Friday, talkin bout Friiiidaaay.... Friday!

Is it Friday? Jesus all the days are blending together. Apparently its a bank holiday Monday as well, which means...... absolutely nothing! :pac:
I'm just waiting for the grass to grow back so that I can cut it again

Happy Friday , May Day !
The sun is shining, the horrible job of cleaning out the cooker, (any one with a solid fuel Stanley cooker will understand the pain!) done and dusted, video call with two munchkins earlier , coffee time

Mam of 4

A Ha , The Sun Always Shines On Tv blasting away here , earworm for ye

Gonna try to get the house cleaned today. Usually do a big clean and disinfect on a Saturday. You know bleach all the door handles, disinfect all the floors. Will do it today so I'm free then for the long weekend. And what are my great plans for this weekend? ... I think what Axel is doing right now just about sums it up tbh...

Seems like pics aren't working but anyway, he's buried in under the duvet and that seems like a good idea to me!!

At my home desk.
In honour of Workplace Wellbeing Day I am giving myself the afternoon off and there may be wine

Trigger Happy

Enjoying a day off. Garden. Shopping for laptops. Shopping for groceries. Food. Liquidised fermented grapes. Holiday booking.

A day for the high stool :-P


Just back from shopping for ma, picking up ma's pension, going to the bank for ma and going to the credit union for ma, I'm tired just thinking about it!

Eating lunch and listening to Bonnie Tyler.
This morning was gorgeous but then it was a trial of endurance and now it's swinging back in the right direction on the crap-lovely scale.

Would one of your young ones not do it for you ?

I love Stay Alive by Jose Gonzalez. It's just such a lovely song. But lately some of the lines are really standing out in it. If you've never heard it I recommend, it's beautiful, although definitely not to everyone's taste.

Here's the lyrics. I think you'll get what I mean about some (most!) of it feeling relevant right now.

There's a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean

Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
There's no place to run and no gasoline
Engine won't turn
And the train won't leave
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave

I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close 'til the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
We'll do whatever just to stay alive

Well the way I feel is the way I write
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
There is a truth and it's on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise

Trigger Happy

Have just bought clothes online for the first time.
Look at me all modern like.

Couchside trying to figure out the weather before heading out for my daily walkies. It's sunshine to hailstones and back again every 2 minutes; what to wear? ALL the big decisions being made here :pac:

Almost dead on it's feet at times, touch site gonzo for me, not even incognito mode helping :eek:

12,139 steps done,the heat was unreal and I had way too many layers on,it nearly killed me but it's almost wine time and I will be replacing the lost calories with wine and Keoghs shortly, despite the lockdown I've got that long weekend feeling.

Thats me. In fact another shower has just arrived.

Thinking I might go and Q outside some shop instead

Poor Uncle Tom

Today feels extra long for some reason. I'm normally ok until about 7ish, but I'm going home now,

I'm going to pull a cork on one tonight.

Widdershins

Listening to "The rules for lovers" by Richard Walters. Bealtaine was celebrated last night and will be again tonight. I don't like afternoons. Just waiting for this one to pass .

Gremlinertia

Browsing dustbusters, if i find one that's actually in stock and available to order i might even give the boards servers a little spring clean.

The poor dust bunnies ...


Deskside, been in wind down mode since 10 this morning, can officially log off in 19 minutes.

Gremlinertia

Not for the dust bunnies, my friends are safe

I cut the grass today. I strimmed the edges too. Then I took an old VHS deck apart to fix it. Working now so I can convert analogue tape to digital that Mrs G somehow found in a wardrobe.:rolleyes:

Awaiting An Taoiseach to hear the invitable, but more interested in "the plan". I might grab a beer to comfort me.:D

Sometimes I wish I could lose track of time, but if anything, my workload has actually increased since the lockdown started. Doesn’t help that the teams I work with are spread between Sydney and New York, yay for time zones -.-

Believe me, I can’t wait for that bloody long weekend to start. 15 minutes until I literally drop everything... everything work related is...

Dinner over with , cuppa and a chocolate biscuit now waiting for 6.30 along with the rest of ye .

Give us hope....

I'd even endure an evening with Leo for a free dinner.

Luckiest man just let me at him with a blade. I’d say he was sweating but I did an unreal job if I do say so myself

Emotional stuff there from Leo. Well I won't be back in work anywhere for a few months anyway.:(

Sorry for the long post but I was sent this today and thought it was beautiful, since we’re sharing inspiring words.
Its by Nadine Anne Hara a well known poet, quoted by Jacinda Ardern, the New Zealand PM.

Rest now, e Papatūānuku
Breathe easy and settle
Right here where you are
We’ll not move upon you
For awhile
We’ll stop, we’ll cease
We’ll slow down and stay home
Draw each other close and be kind
Kinder than we’ve ever been.
I wish we could say we were doing it for you
as much as ourselves
But hei aha
We’re doing it anyway
It’s right. It’s time.
Time to return
Time to remember
Time to listen and forgive
Time to withhold judgment
Time to cry
Time to think
About others
Remove our shoes
Press hands to soil
Sift grains between fingers
🍃 Gentle palms
Time to plant
Time to wait
Time to notice
To whom we belong
For now it’s just you
And the wind
And the forests and the oceans and the sky full of rain
Finally, it’s raining!
Ka turuturu te wai kamo o Rangi ki runga i a koe
Embrace it
This sacrifice of solitude we have carved out for you
He iti noaiho - a small offering
People always said it wasn’t possible
To ground flights and stay home and stop our habits of consumption
But it was
It always was.
We were just afraid of how much it was going to hurt
- and it IS hurting and it will hurt and continue to hurt
But not as much as you have been hurt.
So be still now
Wrap your hills around our absence
Loosen the concrete belt cinched tight at your waist
Rest.
Breathe.
Recover.
Heal -
And we will do the same.

Mam of 4

Unglitch!

Gremlinertia

Doo dee doo more of the same says she on the way to work

Widdershins

"You said "go slow, I fall behind!"
The second hand unwinds.


If you're lost you can look and you will find me,
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting.
Time after time"

Coming into my other favourite time of day now. Just thinking through my next message to o.h...no liquified grapes tonight ... I like this covid life.
