Monday is here again, which means back to work for most of us.

Has it rained yet where you are? What’s happening this week?

    I bought some garden furniture. It rained within the hour.

    I have a day off on Friday to go dormouse monitoring - assuming that it is dry then. Dormice don’t like the rain and disturbing them when they will get wet is not something we want to be doing.

        Yes - part of the national monitoring programme. I have been monitoring this particular site for almost 20 years now. The population is fairly steady here overall.

    Up at 4.15 trying to get tiny child to sleep. Then at 4.55 slightly larger child wakes up and refuses to go back to sleep. Downstairs at 5.00 watching Sarah and Duck (quack).

      Although Sarah and Duck is good at any time of day, it’s especially good in the quiet hours.

    Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.

    Half way through my run of 7 nightshifts, I was hoping the nice weather would last until my days off but alas in the North of Scotland we’re returning to our damp grey usual.

    Morning everyone. It has indeed rained! Had a good heavy shower yesterday evening. Today is a day of housework and food shopping now that it’s a bit cooler. Starting the week in a relatively positive mood - hopefully that continues!

    It rained up here in gloomy Yorkshire. And by rained I mean absolutely tipped it down. This week I need to get a better fan for my bedroom and some new tights. I’ve sat here for a couple of minutes trying to make a joke about them being related but I just can’t think of one. :P

    Day off today because US company I work for has given everyone today’s US day off!

    After a traditional trip to the tip I’ve got on the tram to wander about random places. First the Viaduct Garden at Castlefield. Now I’ve ended up at Media City for no good reason other than that’s where the tram line goes.

    How. HOW. Is it already sodding Monday?!

    It poured down here last night and I had high hopes but somehow it’s sunny and hot again this morning? Feels like a bait and switch, not impressed.

    Last week work was a nightmare of technical difficulties so today is gonna be equally a nightmare of recovering from them. I’ve put extra honey in my tea to help cope. Can’t really go out and do social things because other half is off on a lads holiday at the weekend and the last thing we want is germs getting into the house, so I guess it’s just us and tv and video games and maybe if we’re feeling spicy…a crossword or two.

    Goal for the week is to spend less time on Lemmy because currently it’s becoming way more addictive than Reddit ever was and that’s saying something 😅

    (I sound properly grumpy this morning don’t I? Clearly not a morning person, or a Monday person, or a person who likes ever being outside of comfy bed ever)

      Haha. Tickled me at least.

      Last night I stood out on the back steps for 5 minutes or so just absorbing the moisture in the rain directly to my soul.

      Somehow it was still dry as a nuns wotsit this morning when I walked into the office.

      The trick to avoiding nonreddit is reminding myself how angry everyone is at reddit. 😂

    Made the mistake of going for a run yesterday. Now full of painkillers, doomscrolling in bed.

    Maybe stick to the lower impact exercise for a while…

      Ruud (instance owner) said he solved this issue earlier, so it isn’t just you! Turns out he left a debug setting on for 19 days.
