    Good god I hope you’ve all had a better start to the day than me!

    Hardly any sleep, and I’m not a morning person even at the best of times, and also my hands don’t generally work right for about half an hour after I wake up.

    So naturally I went to get an emergency cuppa, only to find the teabag thing needs refilling. No worries, there’s an unopened box of Yorkshire in the cupboard. But my stupid hands just would not work, I’m stood there sort of ineffectually pawing at the sealed edges of the plastic for about two whole minutes getting increasingly annoyed and swearing at it out loud…and then I realise there’s one of those easy open strip things that you just have to pull.

    FML. I’ve never been more grateful for half day Fridays.

      “and then I realise there’s one of those easy open strip things that you just have to pull.“

      Nothing quite like the realisation you’re being a plonker to start the day! Half day sounds a really good shout to be honest, I might just join you in that.

      I can imagine the panic at the sealed, unreachable tea. Not a good start to the day!

    My wife booked tickets to see Blur at Wembley this weekend as an early birthday present so pretty stoked about that! The Selecter are supporting which will be pretty awesome as well

    what’s your best elevenses snack

    Dunno if it’s my ‘best’, but I’ve just polished off a cornetto and it was delicious.

    We’re rolling into the weekend looking like it’s going to be a busy one, with trips to various farms, ice-cream parlours and riverside walks.

    All I want is a 12 hour kip and a greasy meal when I wake from it.

    Because I live the life of an international rock star, this weekend will be spent setting up and configuring a VPS that I personally won’t be benefitting from in any way.

    Best elevenses snack is clearly a Tunnocks tea cake.

      Ooh seconded! When I was back home last month I was able to procure a dark chocolate variety and am very much looking forward to enjoying them.

    Happy Friday folks!

    Got my niece coming up tomorrow night to celebrate her graduation and have a drink.

    Kinda dreading it because my wife likes a blowout every now and again and that usually involves a bit of coke. I had a disgustingly bad coke habit up until March 12th of 2021, when I came clean to her and with her support kicked that habit to fuck.

    That’s my issue though, and just because I had problems doesn’t mean she isn’t entitled to a big blowout once or twice a year, but she gets all weird as if she’s tempting me or being a bad wife or some shit.

      Try your best to have a good time in spite of it? Not ideal like, but I know the type of person who doesn’t want their personal decisions to impact anyone else having a good time.

      If you compared it to drinking or green, I would probably not if my friend told me he had packed it in. Half of doing something like that with someone is the fun of doing it together.

        Cheers mate - and that’s exactly my mindset tae tbh. She deserves a blow out every once in a while and shouldn’t have to stress just because i let it get the better of me.

        If it was all the time, then aye I’d be concerned, and I’d be a bit of a hypocrite even then, considering.

        I’m looking forward to it!

      Personally, if I had quit something terrible and addictive (big props to you), I would be pretty upset if my wife continued to do said terrible, addictive thing.

        Oh shes done it maybe 3 or 4 times since I quit. That was her biggest concern also - the impact it would have on me, so we’ve discussed it loads and I assured her I’m completely fine with it.

        I’ve experienced lows I’d never have even considered due to that shit, so there’s no chance of me slipping back into that lifestyle at all thankfully.

    Sweet snack: jam doughnut. Savoury snack: butcher’s sausage roll.

    This weekend we’re hosting a family barbeque, so of course its forecast to rain. Also collecting new glasses so will mostly be squinting a bit until I get used to them.

          Sounds delightful! Hopefully getting a per diem though? Last few years of my apprenticeship I was booking any course vaguely related to my role so could get down to London and eat in places I’d never even dreamed of as an ayrshire lad. So places with running water etc….

            per diem

            Yeah, the days covered thankfully. Was good and interesting, but my brain has been thoroughly scrambled.

            Wish I could afford to eat out in central London ha.

              It was nuts money back when I used to go, maybe 2018 was last time and that was with a fifty quid a day meal allowance. Never afford that on my own dime.

    Had to get up early to take my partner to the podiatrists and then do some shopping. On the plus side, I bought so nice German Lidl sausages and buns so hot dogs for dinner!

    I’ve already had a “fun” day. Awake at 5 and took my 8 week old for jabs, who is now grouchy! Time to start work too.

    On the positive side I’m going camping tomorrow with the uni lads 😃
