Morning. Was awake early so just got up. Better make the most of the morning before the wind and possible snow showers arrive later.

DPD delivery today as I decided to upgrade my ipad which is getting a bit long in the tooth. The most recent one is getting good reviews for speed and screen quality so hoping I’ll notice the difference. I use it a lot so don’t mind the expense too much.
I’ve got Mrs Tenkaykev the new iPad Mini complete with Apple Pencil ✏️ for Christmas. It had very good reviews and she’s just started her studies with the OU it will be handy for note taking and annotations , especially with the automatic writing to text.
My ancient iPad is struggling but I’ve already spent too much 🤔

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I've only ever been to IKEA once, and that was about 35 years ago when they opened the one Wednesbury. Only went coz they were doing a free lunch. The meatballs were OK though. :laugh:


I went to that one as well just after it opened. My brother wanted to see what it was like. The only time I have ever been in one. I wasn't impressed.

Ooooo........how exciting. Just had a text from DHL which I thought was a scam. Went online on my laptop as a precaution, put in the tracking number and yes I have a delivery on its way.........

.........I have absolutely no idea what I ordered. Surprise!

Possibly a large grey elephant? 🤔🤣

Beware a parcel rapidly followed by a demand for payment.

I retired earlier this year. So far I am thoroughly enjoying the freedom to do whatever I want within reason. However, one thing I have noticed that I wasn’t expecting is that I now frequently dream about work. More so than I ever did when I was working. I don’t miss work at all and I chose to retire. The dreams are all just weird situations that don’t make much sense (as is often the case with dreams). The situations are often connected to the work I did before retirement. I just wondered if this is normal?

Morning folks, at least the rain has eased :okay: its now horizontal sleet. Ever been in a tent in a storm? not knowing if the poles will snap or will start leaking...well thats the feeling i have living in this cabin at the moment, quite stressful. Landlords living in Spain and doesnt give a toss, hopefully i'll hear from the council soon. :okay:

Definitely not normal......I never give work a second thought now, either while conscious or unconscious! :laugh:

Would this be the one?
