I can offer a generous supply of ground coffee - it's the one thing I do have plenty of at the moment   

I have had a bit of a giggle this afternoon - from where I've placed my desk, I'm 'side-on' to a window, but don't face it (or I would spend my time gazing out of it, like the cat) However, various neighbours across from me are sitting facing out, on various laptops etc. At one point, I noticed one was wearing a shirt and tie (and obviously on a call), but they stood up, stretched, and...that was all they were wearing Put me off my lunch a bit...

There's a chill wind here today, it wouldn't have helped the display

This is a brilliant idea! 
Also didn't Friends have an Ugly naked Guy? 

BlackCoffeenosugar - was he cute?

I know! I was pretty chilly in my flat - couldn't have been that warm with them!

I wasn't really focused on the face However, I shall take note tomorrow....as I imagine many will on my side of the road! Must remember to brush my hair tomorrow or I'll be the next (fully dressed) subject of interest amongst the neighbours

My neighbour decided to cut his grass at seven this morning for at least ten minutes I lay in bed and hated him  Well I'm up and about and wondering what to do with the long day. I dreamed of days doing nothing, now I'm not so sure! I wonder how Black Coffee no Sugar's neighbour is today...

HOWLING at this - and yes Buffy it reminded me of Friends and UNG too! Also now dying to know what happens on dress-down-Friday! Keep us posted BlackCoffee! 

I've just popped in for a bit of breakfast before I start work - well such work as I have. I'm waiting on an Amazon man with a shredder which means I will have plenty more to be getting on with - as it is though I have my tea and cereal, I'm keeping an eye for incoming emails - I have already done half an hour of exercise indoors thanks to the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD (why do we not have a vomiting emoji any more?!) the sun in shining and we have doors and windows thrown open to air the place through and make the most of it. I have also adjusted the heating settings as realistically it does NOT need to be on from 6am right now - with no hideous commute into London, I'd be lying if I said we were getting up at the strictly usual time...

Morning everyone. Hope you’re all ok. Just popped in for elevensies 🍰☕️ Waiting on my access to work from home but passing the time watching The Morning. Got some washing drying on the line and my cat asleep next to me. DD seems a bit better this morning but not back to normal yet. Stay safe everyone xx

Popping in for a quick coffee break from work!

Then on my lunch break I will be food shopping for my grandparents and my uncle - grandparents over 70/vulnerable, uncle is self-isolating, SSDD is the family shopper then back to work and finally it will be home time x

Good luck with the shopping SSDD. I was waiting in a queue for an hour early this morning to be allowed to access the Mr M website to amend my order for next week - I couldn't even remember what I'd ordered as I placed it 3 weeks ago. There are no slots available after that so looks like I'll have to brave the shops 😒.  Mr SA is on the vulnerable list with a past history of blood cancer/stem cell transplant so I'll have to be extra careful.  Hopefully things will improve delivery-wise before then, I know they are working on it.

Hope everyone is bearing up x

Thanks SA, I'm just glad both households want different things so no concerns about buying restrictions. Fingers crossed you get access to some delivery slots soon to avoid having to go into the shops xx
