The Mock Turtle

Hello!

Thursday has crept up on me because of the short week. This is welcomed. I'm up and working, then working from 6 as I have a lot to do before I go off for a week from the 12th (I will be taking this as toil)

I have very little other than work, and a garden chair and solar lights and a fleece blanket arriving. That's quite enough I think

Happy Thursday!

My day has been low key, thanks to an unwelcome migraine. The sun is shining for the first time in a week though which is nice.

Morning!

I’m just waiting for Sproglette to get ready for our run. Not much else planned either.

Do you have nice plans for your week off?

Sorry to hear about the migraine, Est. So horrible.

Sb2 is coming tomorrow, Wendy, so we plan to find an outside pub next week so I can make him get a round in as a legal 18 year old. He doesn't actually drink at the moment though. I'm going to do some DIY but nothing really messy, just pottering really. I might paint my back gate if I can source some paint. The bloke will come mid week and we will find a pub, and possibly drive to a few places for walks and after walk drinks, in (outside) a pub. Pub pub pub pub

That sounds like a lovely break, Marth. I'm glad SB2 is being taught to stand his round

Postnatal clinic for me today, so probably a quiet one. I might get to jab a baby's foot though

I have very fond memories of doing the prem round with Aunty Denise (not a real aunt) in my childhood and watching her jab tiny feet. When my Mum couldn't get childcare. Totally wouldn't be allowed now. She was reminiscing yesterday about some of the men at the lab using the autoclave for their beer making endeavours.

Morning. All of my work IT is shitting about and the government have closed Go Ape because it's apparently not technically Outdoor Climbing so that's tomorrow's fun cancelled. I suppose we can do something really exciting instead, like GO FOR A WALK.

Anyway, purple or teal? I am indecisive.

Teal (I don't know what this is for)

Morning all, I am WFH today so I have my first load in the washing machine.

I would say neither.

Purple. I have a pretty new phone which is purple.

Morning. I need to be more productive at work today. I have been poor this week.

though if you are talking technical clothing then definitely not any shade of purple

Purple and teal / turquoise are probably my favourite colours.

I am willing to listen to the rationale for this. *sits comfortably*

I take great exception to women's technical clothing inevitably including purple/lilac or pink accents. Because you know, gender stereotyping bollocks

Teal, but it’s a close call.

Morning. No workmen this morning so I’m escaping to a park with E, where she can chat with her boyfriend whilst I call my dad. Then there will be laundry and admin and workmen and dull tv until bed.

Okay, I agree with this. But also, it's not actually pink and I do like purple.

Morning all.

Always teal. It’s my favourite colour. Maybe you could show us the options of whatever it it?

A first legal pint in a pub is an exciting thing, so I hope SB2 will make an exception to not-drinking for that.

My local is very lovely, Marth and has outside space.

Morning all. I can't seem to get going this morning. Zzzzzzzzz

Teal definitely - I really dislike purple (and slightly horrified that C will probably be going to a secondary school with a bright purple blazer and jazzy Jon Snow from C4 news style tie).

Morning. We have scaffolders here who are already a day late and have managed to only bring half the scaffolding they need, so need to come back tomorrow I've had to rearranged my lovely guy who is doing the guttering and fascia again and I feel really bad.

What a pain, Flora.

I would choose teal as I’m not a great lover of purple.

I have a counselling appointment this morning. The insurance company have put money in my account for my smashed sewing machine, so later I will be shopping.

Morning. Today holds more battling for a working software licence I think. Also a Sainsburys run for picnic food for tomorrow’s geocaching trip. The sun is threatening to come out so A’s football training tonight May be reasonably pleasant.
