Things can only get better

Glad you enjoyed your day in the office. So many people will never go back to normal working. Both my daughters and my son in law have all been working from home since March 2020. None of them will go back in permanently.DD2 and her husband have had to build an extension so they have two home offices.

I wasn't keen on the idea of going back to the office but two weeks in I am quite enjoying the interaction with people again.

That will probably fade come mid winter when it is eternaly dark and I'm having to commute 🤣🤣🤣

The cheese and wine tasting event was quite amusing reading the chat bar. Some people were being really pretentious by saying they were pairing their wine with some fancy cheese I’d never heard of and someone else said they were pairing theirs with Laughing Cow 🤣🤣 I was actually eating a stir fry and was very tempted to put that in the chat bar 😆

Just sat down to watch a bit of TV before going to bed only to find Mr SA watching a World Cup qualifier we’ve only just had the 🤬World Cup for goodness sake 😩😡 

That's so funny,I,would have said cheese and onion crisps 😀

Happy Saturday 🥳🥂

I need to go the local shops today for a few bits. Got the hairdressers this afternoon, desperately in need of a trim, my fringe is so long it’s making Claudia Winkleman’s look short. 

Pizza and Prosecco tonight 😋

I was doing a Claudia so trimmed my fringe myself 🙀now I look like the kid from The Crankies 😂( is it Jimmy,I can't remember his name)

Yes it’s wee Jimmy Crankie 😆 

Hair is done and I can see again 🥳 It felt weird not having to wear a mask in the hairdressers and having people sat next to me without the screens in between.  It was nice to feel some sort of normality though. My hairdresser had a mask on though but they’ve left it up to customers to decide whether they want to wear one or not. 

Got obsessed with topping the Diamond League leader board in my Duolingo Spanish app this afternoon. A bloke called Gerard kept stealing my number one spot 😡 so I’ve put some distance between us, he has 810 points, I have 1,000. That’s it now, I’m not doing any more, if he beats me he’s welcome to it 😆 I’ve started talking to my dog in Spanish so it’s time to call it a day 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣 to speaking to the dog in Spanish!  Have you tried it with Senor SA!?😃

I’m imagining you like Dora the explorer…’Hola perro’, skipping along with your backpack.
I’ve used up most of my Spanish there 🤣

Well done on the Spanish. I started when we had to work from home and we had to show we were doing something we could take to school with us….we do Spanish in school but the children I worked with usually did an individual plan at that time. Once I realised I probably wouldn’t be going back to work my enthusiasm for it stopped. I have been looking at the French now though as I did French at a very low level at school well over 40 years ago…wanted to see how much I remembered. I quite surprised myself 👍
