I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 10)

Couchside at home watching a film on the telly.

Another very busy day of working from home today - after the glorious weekend weather where I took a 2 day “digital detox” from any social media, message boards and emails. It was great!

On my evening walk in my locality this evening there was so much traffic on the roads I could have sworn that the lockdown was over. People must be willfully ignoring the lockdown restrictions now in anticipation of the gradual lifting of restrictions from next Monday.

Watching birds out through the window, they managed to rip a bag from the wheelie bin that wasn’t closed properly and they’ve reefed it around the road. Stress levels through the roof, I hope the neighbors see it soon and come clean it up

Deskside.

Woke up from a dream that I was enraged and it's carried through to real life... uuggghhhh...

Still, nice day out there!

Looking out at a fox in our garden who is running late for his snoozes.

He’s hungry TH. Make him a sandwich but no cheese or he’ll have bad dreams and come back to kill you as you sleep tonight






Drinking a pint of cranberry juice, true story, tastes much better in vodka.

Frustrated. I want to work! Says half the country, I know

Its a brilliant day and looks like its going to be a brilliant sunny summer, shouldnt be spending it trapped like animals in a zoo. My heart is banging with the contained energy.

My best friend's father has just died, after a long protracted struggle in a nursing home and my friend and his mum couldonly see him through a screen.

Im reading in the garden before I go walking.

No no no no. That will only encourage him to poo on my lawn. And then the poo goes in the lawn mower and it spreads like Slurry all over the place. And all over my legs.
No.

Good Morning all, beautiful day and Nespresso time, my celebratory mood was demolished last night when i got told that I have to do two COVID tests before retuning to work, possibility that the 2nd one will be tonight, if not then it shall be next Sunday :)

Looking on then bright side, I don’t have military security outside my room door like my colleagues

Morning. Another lovely day. Auld fella fed. My own carcass caffinated and hosed down. Dad hosed down. Cats fed, mucked out and released into the sunshine. Waiting for himself to drop over a prescription for me following a phone consult with GP yesterday which will hopefully result in a energised me in a week or two. Feeling relieved that nothing serious is wrong which I was starting to suspect but annoyed that it's something I'm going to be dealing with for the foreseeable. F7kc the perimenopause!

Still getting a bit snivelly in the 'letting go' project but have decided to embrace that. Otherwise all is good chez 'Cat.

I'm hot and I'm cold, I'm YES! and I'm noooo!

I'm lying out in the garden trying to soak up the sun. When it's out it's roasting but when it goes behind a cloud there's an awfully cold breeze. Feck off clouds!

Haha! I come across grand on the internet I suppose but I'm pain in the hole in real life, make no mistake about that.

Glad your day is going ok. I haven't much to do after a busy weekend so I'm gonna spend most of today lazing about. It's going well so far.

Deskside. Question, is it possible for anger to manifest as neck pain? Sweet divine holy jebus... my neck is hopping! Making my anger worse! This would nearly drive me to drink!

Tunes - Johann Pachelbel Canon in D Major (figured metal would wind me up more :pac:).

If you're tensing your shoulders and clenching your jaw you could have neck pain. What are you so angry?

Thinking of taking the washing in off the line - dark clouds abound

Great.

Would be mightly interested in your conclusions

( I tried to ask a question on the 'masks' thread in the CV19 forum and got trampled over by inane verbose posters intent on scoring points off each other )

Swing your arms, big circles, forwards and back and do neck rolls if you can.

I've gone with cloth ones, so I can wash and reuse them.. People get very technical with them, putting in filters and so on but I'm happy enough just to go with cotton, loads of different ways to make them, youtube videos abound..

We do the nasal and throat swabs, I don’t find them unpleasant but some do find the nasal test painful.

smurfjed

Suddenly the requirement for me to sit around for another week and do another swab test before going to work disappeared

arybvtcw0eolkf

I've a few days off, so may be posting here regular again.

My daughter is a haemophiliac, well she got a severe haemorrhage last night and was admitted to St.James hospital (Dublin), they have a haemophilia clinic there. If she gets a severe blood she needs to ring their emergency number and they put a team on standby.

Long story short, the team also sent out an advanced paramedic to go onboard the ambulance with her to St.James where she got the best care in the world. Anyone being admitted are being swabbed for CV-19 but she can't be because of the risk of a nasal bleed.

Anyway, she's home now & back in the clinic to see her consultant tomorrow so I'm off for a few days to look after her.

I've only been getting on here something like about once a week so I'm out of the loop with all the regulars, I hope you're all in good health and enjoying the great weather we've been having.

So apart from work I'm keeping well and enjoying some nice runs on the beach, in fact I was 6km away from home and on the far end of the beach last night when I got the phone call from my daughter that she was having a problems, that 6k run turned into a 6k sprint lol

I'll walk Richo later, I think I deserve Guinness or two later?.

So hows everyone been keeping?.

Glad your daughter is ok Mak and was well looked after by the hospital and no doubt will be well looked after now at home.

I've been out stalking bumbles again. They love the lavender and it's in full bloom these days so much easier to snap them now.

Here's a greedy little fella filling up them pollen baskets.
