On a day off which was intended to be for lazing about in the cinema, but my body does not cope with temperatures below zero so relunctantly staying in under the duvet. Oh well. Cinema day on Saturday though instead as I can get a lift then.

Slow day in the office so knocked off early to see Violent Night at Cineworld as it had been recommended. Arrived at the door of the cinema to find it was locked with a sign saying it was closed due to a broken heating system. So walked to Vue and saw it there instead.
Arrived home to find a Christmas card on my mat, which had come from the vicinity of Manchester (but not Manchester).

Manchester - Washington
Manchester - Virginia
Manchester - Vermont
Manchester - Texas!
Manchester - Tennessee
Manchester - South Dakota
There's even a Manchester in Bolivia...

Morning All!
It's Thursday
Yesterday: Generally a good day: led at 8am and think that went OK. Presents went to the wrapping fairy, we are very grateful! After that lots of sitting in front of the TV with Doctor Who. Got to be a trifle late in the afternoon cos the tumbledryer took FOREVER - it wakes me if I leave it running. All got a bit frantic before Homegroup, always does, but all went OK.
Today: Not sure. J college then climbing. Indian for tea.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

My NHS dentist was not on strike today, it seems, and so I was still able to pay £60 for my six-monthly session of sonic torture.
I think I've earned a glass of sherry. Or two.

I remember the days of being able to see a dentist on the NHS. Long gone. Now an impossibility. Well overdue a checkup but can't afford private dentist at the momenr.

Feeling very drained and tired and going for naps straight after work each day this week. Not been able to get out to exercise due to below zero temps combined with mild seasonal lurgy and busy work is knackering me. We have loads of folk off sick or on leave so it's pretty manic.
Roll on 3pm on the 23rd when I can knock off for the year.

Morning All!
It's SATURDAY!!!
Yesterday: A struggle. Despite getting a lie in my body said NO. Been feeling the start of a cold all week and it manifested itself in typical manner combining with the CMT to make me feel fluy. Combine that with some difficulties with household items my head started to struggle too.
Today: I think today will be a nothing today. Should be projecting at the Gateway Carol Service tonight but I suspect I won't be up to it (or tmw morning for that matter) so it's a good job I had one of the team on standby for tonight just in case. So I'll be on the Zoom for the service and then the TMUK call after.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.
