System Failure !

I hope the neighbours upstairs behave themselves over the BH.

No problems with neighbours . I don't like harping on too much , but with those kind of people I just have to be on guard more so at certain times of the year when they are in their happy zone . Anyway, I'll leave that there 

So, with the resrictons still in place and nowhere to have a coffee☕️ ( too cold or crowded ) my bank holiday weekend was just staying in as per usual , exercising and recording "music " etc 🎹🎼 Oh, and having lengthy conversations with my brother about his internet issues . As I've been an Amazon customer with various deliveries over the last few months I watched a few bits on prime . I don't use Netflix at the moment , so not a huge expense . I had a good chat with my local friend , and a coffee ☕️Is imminent . 

A few of us have arranged for a possible meet-up in June 🍺🥃 . Probabky new forest 🐎🐿🦔

I went for a walk this morning 🐾 on the usual route . Will probably do this for rest of week 
sun is everywhere 🌞
I had to visit Worcester Bosch website about my first boiler service , as I was worried about the date for servicing and the situation with my extended warranty. I've gone 2 weeks past the March deadline 🙀. I had initially been told £130 pluss over £300 as my warranty had expired . I politely asked if that is correct due to Covid😷 and engineers being unavailable . Thankfully , they arranged for an engineer to visit me on 26th April and if I paid £130 now the guarantee is still valid . That is what I did 🥲. I know that I can get engineers to attend for a fair bit less, but I think that it's best to have Worcester Bosch to send their own engineer annually as that would look good in the sense of continuity and it is a Worcester Bosch boiler after all . I used to like their advert with the cats 🐈🐈

I'm due to have a session shortly with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️🥵In a way , it's a sign of back to some sort of normality .
I'll leave it there ..🌞🥶

AC I think your Easter was the same as most of us.  I'm looking forward to next week when I can sit outside a cafe and have a nice coffee.

Hello AC.  Happy 4 year anniversary on the flat.  That time flew by.  I actually quite liked that we worked so closely together, but am still really happy for you that you got away from how toxic that job was for you.

Huge well done for cutting out some foods and drink you really enjoyed.  I also need to cut down on bread so really admire how well you sound like you're doing with it.

I've caught up on everything from a few weeks so that I can start to comment here, but when I get time I plan to go back on people's diaries to the beginning of this year.

Take care and I hope all went well with Mr Trainer yesterday.

Strange couple of days . The session with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️was tough 🥵,but I kept up and he was impressed as usual . 

There was a brief snow shower for about half an hour yesterday evening ⛄️. 

I felt in good form yesterday . 

This morning , awake very early 🛏. Felt rough and not in the mood to go for the walk🐾
Felt rundown most of the morning . However, I decided to record some stuff and put it on soundcloud . 🎹🎼. Since lockdown , I've managed to get a bit more to grips with the recording malllarkey and it is very therapeutic in this time . Lots to learn, but I have the time , and  hopefully my efforts will improve the more I tackle the barriers along the way . At this moment I prefer the moog synths over the bass guitar .  

Not sure if it's just me , but today seems coldest day for a while . 🥶

It's true what you say mrsP 😼 I think most people had the same sort of Easter .🐰Having said that , the grass is greener regarding situations .🌾. I'm Macaulay culkin , and my various friends are struggling at times stuck with their other halves/ families ..

I'm kind of refreshed now , so I'll leave it there .....🌩

I hope you can have coffee with your friend this week. It is one of the things I am looking forward to.
How is your weekend going?

A week of the usual . I have booked next weds for my appointment for 2nd Covid jab 😷
I never did any walking 🐾since last update , due to being out of sorts or weather related 🌨
However , I did yesterday and this morning and found it tougher . Usual stuff, breathlessness etc due to my condition . 

Yesterday I had a tough session with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️, and he was impressed as usual 
He changed things around again, and he was impressed that I basically do everything he chucks at me with no questions . He is impressed that I have had a big reduction on bread 🥖also.

My food situation has been steady , although with home deliveries it's hard to keep track of what I run out of ( mince , cream🐄 , small bottles of Perrier , and tiny slices of bread 🥖for backup)
I am getting back into garden peas 🌿🌻and baked beans and being keeping well away from crisps. I find that crisps can make my skin blotchy as well as bad for me . 

Yesterday I was due a delivery from Ryman ( who use fed ex 😡) of some plastic crates so that I can finally tidy up kitchen . Of course if I knew Ryman would use fed ex I would have waited for regular delivery and not paid £2 extra. I have just sent a polite email to customer services asking where the crates are and will I be refunded for postage . If not , I will visit trust pilot etc 

It's funny regarding lockdown : the news is still a bit misleading . Not speaking much to anyone while being Macaulay culkin is weird . Then when I do speak to people, my speech impediment and tiredness combine a times making things difficult . Helping my brother by phone with his broadband and passwords is longer than coronation street at times . His refusal to have a landline telephone is not the best idea when checking for faults . 

I'll probabky have a day off training today🏋️‍♀️ 🥵, and start again tomorrow . I have standard tidying up to do . 

I'll leave it there for now 🌞...

Had a great sleep 🛌 ..until 2am .

Rough this morning . Sun shining 🌞. Staying in . 

Shipment of crates from Ryman / Fed ex never materialised . 2 days later than expected so far
Had fun and games trying to contact both . Virtual assistants on oth sites useless . Promises from Ryman customer services to contact me non existent . 

I tried to contact Ryman via PayPal to contact me . In the end I think I'll try to get refund but with PayPal it doesn't look easy . 

Should've went to the Amazon .

I'll do some light exercise later 🏋️‍♀️

I'll leave it there ...🌞
