Ooh! Decisions !I'm not sure whether to have Shredded Wheat or porage for breakfast.
Or toast & honey..
I'd hate to be in your shoes !
Especially if either of those ended up in them !

Last day of term today for the kids. I'm both excited to have them at home in the day and also dreading the inevitable squabbles of being together for two whole weeks, especially if the weather is bad to stop us going out.
I split the difference.. Shredded Wheat with honey dolloped on them🍯Ooh! Decisions !

Ours was yesterday for the schools, so Middle and Younger Son were up late watching a movie and are currently snoring. Elder Son unwisely stayed up to and was late for work. His boss will hopefully have "words".

Last day for me. Got the train in and had a leisurely walk into work, via the local cafe for a 'breakfast in bread' as a treat (and a treat it is, yum). Bumped into the Finance Director and said 'see you at the pub later' - he's allowed us the afternoon off in the Uni. owned pub, where we can spend our money to boost profits 
.
It's a proper old boozer with craft ales which the Uni purchased (mainly for land next to it) but spend a small fortune restoring the old tile work and ceilings (The Salutation, Manchester). It's a lovely little place with a function room upstairs. I'm planning on sneaking off a little earlier to pop to Hatch. It's an interesting development of independent traders in 'stacked shipping containers' under Mancunian Way. There are a couple of craft ale places in the complex.
After showing my face in the pub and supping an ale or two, the plan is to meet up with Mrs F as she is in town for a job interview.
Anyway, listening to Christmas tunes in the office. I had a shuffle round the meeting room, and found a decent set of speakers with an amp/sub - so the phone is hooked upto it, and we're rocking tunes.
Working this morning, nah....

At work, watching the rain coming down, just about to check if my gloves & cap are dry from the morning commute and trying to decide whether to take a couple of hours off at the end of the shift so I can finish at midday.

Argh, tunes are off. Mrs F is using Amazon Music at home and knocked me out.
Fortunately another colleague is you-tubing tunes.

I put in my sandwich order for Christmas Eve.
Since we are working, our company is getting us lunch, or at least our section.
Haven't seen that sort of thing in about,
oh,
say,
ten years.
Little steps.

I couldn't believe how selfish 2 women were this morning. I was feeling like having a Victor Meldrew / Renie Artois moment!
The 2 women were standing in an empty parking space outside a chemist's having a chin wag. Their chat must have been that important as cars had to find alternative spaces.
Why they chose that spot instead of the large paved area next to them I don't know .
Perhaps I should have gone and listened in !

If I properly seal the Asgard and cover the vents, I'll be OK for all 8 of mine.

Quick question for @Reynard and other people artistically inclined:
I'm making a sketch for my dad for Christmas, I've got this far, and I know there needs to be some shading, but I'm wondering what I should do about the background and the bottom left corner. I'd like to have something there to balance things up, but I don't want it to be distracting.
With hindsight a lower viewpoint would probably have been better. Maybe I'll just cut the bottom of the picture off...
