March 2023 General Chat

[Suzi]

It's been a while since we had one of these, just a general chit-chat kind of thread...

For me today, the house 2 doors is having their driveway redone. This has meant kango hammering, mini digging etc almost constantly since early this morning. I'm grateful they stopped for an hour earlier, and I'm hoping that the rain has meant they have stopped for the day now!

I've an online in person lecture tonight and I'm really hoping it's going to be easier than the last one as I'm ready to curl up and nap now!

[Paula]

Ouch…..

My days been ok. Worked this morning and decided to crash and watch the documentary on the people that dug up Richard III. Interesting, if you like that sort of thing. The kids are joining us all for The Last of Us and dinner night, later

[Suzi]

That sounds fun tonight. Not seen that series - I assume it's good?

[Paula]

Really good. And a rarity in that all five of us watch it. I’m going to miss it just for the fact we’ve had all the kids here every Monday night while it’s been running

I have cramp which is really uncomfortable, I have to redo my proforma as it has to be quantitative date and not qualitative and I missed that in the instructions, and I should be at my writers group but feeling crap, never mind that I would have been later anyway due to messing about trying to get Moo sorted after swimming!

[Suzi]

Paula, are you on the lookout for another series to do the same with? Will check out your recommendation!

Oh no Jaq! I hate it when you misread something which then means you have to redo a huge percentage. How's the cramp? Are you resting and pacing?

Today is cold, and noisy with them on day 2 of digging up the drive 2 doors down... I'm not loving the noise. Crash is on alert as there are lots of people walking past so we've shut the blind to try to help him settle.
Today I'm planning on getting some housework done - well, moving some of the stuff that's been dumped by F in the lounge, and sorting the kitchen a bit! But whether I'll get that done I'm not sure... Self care is coming first today.

[Paula]

Good to hear re self care! I’m not looking for another series - I’m leaving that up to the rest of them as anything I suggest will be shot down

Jaq, how are you feeling..

[Jaquaia]

Still have the cramp, being a woman sucks at times. Got to go do my mum's meds this morning, then driving lesson this afternoon, homework with Moo, some uni work, and I'm going to make a point of doing some crafting as I have a new flower I want to try. Have to do my mum's meds today as J sees the specialist tomorrow.

I'm just muddling along today. Aisling started her second work experience yesterday. She's doing it in her old national school and loves it. I wasn't sure how she would get on because she hasn't had much dealings with children younger than her. But she's actually looking at courses to become a national school teacher in college.

[Paula]

Oh wow! That’s awesome . If she’s anything like her mum she’d be fantastic.

I’ve taken the plunge and chopped all my hair off. I’ve now got a pixie cut, for the first time in a while
