Morning All!
It's Monday - 2021 Week 34
Yesterday: Odd night preceding the day, pain from the storm stopped me getting off as early as I liked. I put the light on to read and dropped off immediately lying on the duvet which is how I found myself at 5:30! Got a bit more sleep, up at 7, Prayer Meeting at 9 and then off to church. Had a guest speaker in the building and it had been arranged to livestream her to Zoom. I had a ppt for her sorted it to share screen the ppt from the projection PC to those watching on Zoom as well. Think it went OK! Also led the communion portion of the service, done it in homegroup but never for the whole church! Dead to the world all afternoon, walk with Liz in evening. Two things for today written. So quite a busy day!
Today: Jonathan college enrolment for the pre 16 program! I'm teching at 10am. Not much else in the diary.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray J'd college enrolment goes OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Continuing to work on hobby room. On the one hand I am dismayeď at stuff that must have accidentally ended up in tip runs or charity shop boxes suring various moves since 2019. On the other hand it does mean I have somewhat less stuff to organise!
Still bummed at the box of TF's that went walkabout though.

Morning All!
It's Tuesday
Yesterday: Challenging morning technically when Zoom threw a wobbler. J's enrollment went well. Trip out to in laws in chair. A bit of frustration with furniture!
Today: Not sure. Think L & J have something on. Might be the day when I try to do Asda in the chair.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Sorting hobby room continues...
*more postal boxes arrive for Ralph*
*fills boxes*
*screams when he realises he hasn't ordered enough*
*orders more*
*screams at mounting cost*
And I haven't even had time to sort the office yet!
*screams*

Morning All!
It's Wednesday
Yesterday: Big achievements by getting the chair on a bus and into Asda, so pleased. Head was a little worn later in the day which perhaps suggests how many spoons the morning took.
Today: L has a visitor this morning.... and I'm expecting some parcels of toys :-) Food order needs doing. L out tonight.
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 Thursday
Yesterday: Day ticked over OK.... till my head started to struggle a bit in the evening :-(
On this particular Thursday: Food in, bins out. Think that's about it. Hopefully a trip out in chair later. Face feels a bit painful and coldy.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

Confirmed today that the new job can be done at home or office so have asked to work from home. There may be a move towards everyone in an office at a later date but for now folk can work from home.
It's weird. 18 months ago I would not in any circumstance have wanted to do a job at home (I like going out to work) but for now working at home will do me just fine, thankyou.
I am also very lucky that I now live in a house where I have space and privacy to do so.

Just done my furthest trip in the chair: Church Avenue South, Right onto Akers Way, Right at the roundabout onto Purton Road along Moredon Road and home.
Out for an hour, think I did a good couple of miles.

Way past time you had some positives in life, chum. Onwards and upwards. There is an office open folk can go to and in time a hybrid style of working would suit me but for now home working is what is best for my nerves. -Ralph |

It's FRIDAY!!!
Yesterday: Improved as it went on. Morning I still felt off from the previous night, late afternoon and evening was better, including a big ride out in the chair. Still a bit coldy and painful round face.
Today: Not sure. Possibly a couple of Epics and some toys arriving. J has his orientation session at college this afternoon. TF Fan Friday at 4ish.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

Supposedly I'm completing on the Tiverton house on Tuesday, kind of more than half expecting it to all go wrong.

Off on our honeymoon (which doubles as my first holiday in 5 years). Who knows when we reach our destination though due to TRAVEL CHAOS.

Shockingly, a Toymaster store still lives just yards from where we are staying. I thought they were extinct!

This Is Saturday - Watch And Smile
Yesterday: Ok ish morning, but busy. Nice trip out to see two friends who we'd not seen in person for 18 months. Day wore me down later though, sinuses not great and pain levels shot through the roof when a nasty black cloud drew over at about 6:30.
9am lie in - Thank You Lord!
Today: Dog sitting - Pippin's coming back for the day! Zooming Mum late afternoon, TMUK Zoom tonight. Need to finish my prep for tomorrow morning.

Nice relaxing day here at our hut at the bottom of a garden on our honeymoon. Tomorrow is a coastal walk. Monday is a lighthouse. Tuesday is 'Africa' and Wednesday is a day trip to Norwich.
A local deli does AMAZING toast.
