Morning All!
It's Monday - 2021 Week 33
Yesterday: Morning was a bit of a struggle. I found leading the meeting (and teching it at the same time) difficult as I was in pain but I'm tolkd it went well. Couldn't sleep in afternoon, was knackered by evening and had to miss Sister in Law's Birthday Tea.
Today: WE'RE OFF TO MUM'S IN LONDON FOR THE WEEK!
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Today is Matt's Birthday which gives me an excuse to repost these pictures of the best Birthday Present he ever received! |

Yay.
In other news my dad watched some of the Friday stream and all he could talk about was the trauma of seeing Ralph's bum

Thankfully I turned off after Matts attacks on my city of birth* so missed a new bit of Ralph nudity.
*also orders hundreds and hundreds of orders that are still nowhere near sorted.

A Very Good Morning from the Town of Kings! First time I've been bgack on the manor since the end of September last year.
It's Tuesday!
Yesterday: All went swimmingly. Loaded car just fine, my least stressful trip up the M4 - always hated motorways since I was a child - and settled in fine. Took Mum's electric chair into the garden to demo to her that it would cope with the ramp ok and ended up going half way down Tudor drive and back!
Today: Not sure. If I'm up to it I may try the big challenge I've set myself while here .... first bus ride since 16th March 2020! It's a big hurdle for the head that it needs to get past. Doing a bus ride mentally means I can progress to taking the chair on a bus.... and then on a train.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Morning All!
It's Wednesday!
Yesterday: A successful day stretching my head. Out on the bus and for lunch by myself. First bus trip since 16th March 2020. Also popped into the bank. Head felt OK, think I can manage buses and shops now. Next step is chair on bus and then on train. Had another go with Mum's electric chair and went round Latchmere rec with Liz.
Today: Lunch out with J. Dinner with friends. These may be happening in the same establishment :-)
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Morning.
Last bit of clearing out of Gran's house done. Funeral finally arranged for a week on Friday, have secured the day off work. Doing some TFN work this week, but a slower pace than I might normally do, given the run up was spent locked behind a computer screen, trying to get out and about a wee bit.

Day 1 of sorting out the hobby room now the new shelving is in. Increasing piles of stuff to charity shop or the tip.
I have far too many unopened toys.

Two big walks for Suki done, TFN work done for now, need to check tomorrow with fresh eyes for final pass but confident it's all good. May even have a couple of lazy days at the end of the holiday. Did the last of the clearout at Gran's house today.

I think I am approaching the end of my work on Toyfu Third Time Lucky. Orders are largely organised now and most people that are not me have paid. Today I found almost all the sold items in the shed. Just need to post some off to buyers, the rest too Nick.
This is frankly a relief as sitting at a computer for 15 hours a day for 4 or 5 days with the occasional blast of heavy lifting has been a killer.

Morning All!
It's Thursday!
Yesterday: Not good first thing, lots of pain and then a 25 mins on the floor fall. But made it out for lunch (Thai) with a bus ride back, a brief sleep and then sat in a garden with friends for two hours discussing accessible vehicles amongst other things! Dinner out with University friends in the evening (Thai again) before coming home and tipping a glass of water all over my remaining clean clothing.
On This Particular Thursday: extra bit of teching at 1. Hopefully a trip to Kingston shops this morning but that's in no way certain. Trip out for dinner with Liz and a friend tonight. Bet you can't guess where we're going? ;-)
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

The next door neighbours have a young baby. Last few nights it has screamed/cried continuously all night and through to early morning. Sleep is becoming an issue!
More sorting of the hobby room today. No idea how I am going to get everything to fit in there tidily. I suspect the piles for the tip and the charity shop will grow a tad. Everything fit before but was in piles all over the floor and I couldn't move!
And Kingdom Rodimus and The Ark arrive on Saturday. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

*digs through boxes*
The TF collection used to be vast but now I have very few from before Combiner Wars. On the one hand this saddens me, but on the other hand a few hundred toys from all eras went to Toy-Fu over the years prior to sell for charity so can't really complain.

A lot of comics are going to be booted out. Looks like trades will be a better way to organise material with the space I have.
Not found any issues of Micromasters yet.

No it was not.
It has been read several times, always gash.

Hobby room chaos continues. More storage boxes ordered. A box of Transformers has gone missing during my 4 moves (5 if you include storage units) in the last 2 and a bit years. Always happens during house moves! That many boxes have went to charity shops or skips that there was bound to be a mixup. Farewell lost Erector, Spychangers and chums.  -Ralph |

This week I have been mostly getting to the office around 7.30am, getting productive work done for a couple of hours while it's quiet before my WFH colleagues log on, then knocking off early afternoon to see a movie before walking home in time for tea. If this is flexible working then I could get used to it.
