Mundane News

[Ming the Merciless]

There were lovely blue skies. I then went and got changed and got bike out for lunchtime wander. The bright sun 🌞 ran away to replaced by a cold grey mist. Anyway that’s a couple of hours riding fitted in. Now warming up again with large cup of green tea and fried eggs on toasted muffins.

Grey overcast day with no wind and not raining so got out for a run on trike on my usual short route.
Manic traffic [at least for here anyway] as bad as summer levels but no motorhomes. Only 3 I recognised as local so the rest are still tourists probably fleeing from covid as we normally have very few until a couple of days before Christmas.
Forecast looks ok for the next couple of days so may try to get a bit further afield.
My mainland trip at New Year is probably off given the current wave of infection so just have to make the best of it.
Weather at Christmas does not look encouraging. Hail, snow, ice, sleet and everything nasty.

Out of office turned on until 4th January. I'm (officially) off work until then, although have a pile of marking to do on the quiet.

School portrait photographers; where art and cattle herding meet. A fine business. Even made a human cartoon like me look presentable.

it's made my boss a rich man. me? not so much ... but it's a living ... I used t get out & play but I worked my way up into management & this new place keeps me handcuffed to my desk. apparently I'm the only one that knows what's going on & the owner would go nutz if I didn't answer my phone when he calls from the other office every 5 minutes to ask what's going on ... scheduling w/ school during covid has been so lovely ... um NOT . last year it was the hybrid cohort scheduling twice as many days plus extra madness for the remote kids, yes we did photo the remote kids as well! this year it's been figuring out how to take group photos OUTSIDE . every August I stress out, the past 2 Augusts have been truly stressful. I always jokingly ask, "is it December yet?" AND IT'S FINALLY DECEMBER!!! woohoo!

very nice indeed. I've found so many ironies during this whole disaster. I've just been reminded of one. one of that my Son's roommates works at Pfizer in Cambridge, MA & he tested positive last year, before anyone was vaccinated. he actually worked where the prevention was being developed but caught it. well, doesn't seem so funny now. nvr mind

but that set off a round robin of positives in their circle of friends. (but not my son). so a group of them went to New Hampshire, to one of their families' vacation homes to quarantine. which they all did successfully. freakin' twenty-somethings ...

It's come to my attention that I may have posted a piece of Mundane news in the joke thread by mistake.

Post office negotiated and parental unit's prescription picked up. All that's left of the running around is a standard fortnightly grocery shop tomorrow, although a few extra Christmas goodies might end up flinging themselves into my trolley while I'm at it. I rather fancy one of those posh Thorntons chocolate trifle thingies...

Anyways, have changed into my onesie and have availed myself of a and one and three quarter shortbread fingers.

If you're wondering about the missing quarter, Madam Poppy had her share.

Evening .
I've been having naps all day . I've been feeling a bit woozy. I have a Georgie asleep on a blanket on my lap.

I've been given some CDs and realised that I no longer have a working audio CD player as I ripped mine into MP3 years ago.

I've had to use the computer to listen to them.

Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
