Working from home today

A bit of social distancing. The Tortie baby isn’t helping though. She’s fallen asleep under my laptop tray!

All the Teams

I seem to be spending so much time meeting people on Microsoft Teams it’s becoming my second most used app! Sorry Google, but I love your platform generally, but Microsoft has the edge here!

The windbag toff last night announced a lockdown. It was inevitable after this weekend’s ridiculous and extremely irresponsible behaviour by many who thought it would be a great idea to fill our parks and national parks. Therefore, we are now all grounded. No leaving the house except for very limited tasks.All the restaurants, cafes, bars,Continue reading “And thus… we are locked down.”

Lockdown Incoming

It appears that some idiots aren’t taking the phrases “social distancing” very seriously.

Already we’ve seen the London Marathon postponed until October, and now I’ve found out that Cruise to the Edge isn’t happening. I justContinue reading “COVID 19”

We’re trying to have a clear out of the club room and we’ve found that we are collecting a hell of a lot of telescopes; often donated by people who find them in garages and lofts. Often these are broken in some way – but today we’ve cleared a load of them up and cobbledContinue reading “So many telescopes!”

New car day

After a couple of weeks without the Jag (a difficult to obtain sensor failure) we decided to go down the route of a replacement. Bearing in mind the state of the roads around here, I think this may be the most sensible option for a while (my RAV4 was probably the last sensible option).

This is me.

I had a sarcastic comment made about my shiny outfits. It’s part of who I am. Deal with it or fuck off.

Rehearsing with the fishes… Yet again!

As we build up to Fortune Retelling our rehearsing schedule has intensified. This rehearsal was spent totally on Fortune Telling. We did two complete runs through it.
