Simple living in the country - back to basics

I was looking for you tonight as my local news spoke to people at Leeds and York Unis on strike which is quite bizarre as I’ve no idea what you look like 🤣🤣🤣

I never realised water bills were all so different!

😂😂😂 Sadly you were on a hiding to nothing - I would do pretty much anything to avoid being on the news at the best of times! 😮😂😂 I do sometimes wonder if someone from here met me in real life, would they recognise me as Cheery?? Maybe not if we met for ten minutes... but maybe longer they would. Someone I knew in real life would probably recognise me if they read this - again, probably not one post but a few would likely give it away.

Sometimes I think I should waffle on less, but somehow I just don't seem to be able to manage... 😂

Up early and leaving for the office in a minute. Vile weather out there today! Went out in my dressing gown and boots to let the chickens out of their house, only one came out, and she looked like she regretted it and was going to go straight back in 😂 and it's pretty sheltered in there!

I've got food packed for breakfast, lunch and snacks, let's see if I can stay away from the vending machine...

Stay warm and dry if you can today folks xx

I often think @Cheery_Daff that if anybody in RL stumbled across my diary it would be incredibly obvious it was me because I’m also a waffler and share a lot 😂

On the subject of water, I reported poor water pressure here today. Poor lad came and ran a pressure test. 2.5 bars and when he tried to improve the pressure to 9 bars it dropped by 60% then turned off completely past that - so they will be coming to replace the pipe from the meter to the main. On top of that he can't get the meter in and has ordered a replacement and is currently trying to put a cap on where the meter should be, so he can turn the water back on.

I'd recognise you Cheery!   

I know full well a lot of folk know who I am from a combination of things - my username on here is also one I use elsewhere, my "likes" are pretty distinctive, and my involvement with things like the beer festival makes me fairly identifiable. It's the reason why I've never posted an SOA, and never shard details of MrEH's name or income details etc other than very vague references. 

As for waffly diaries, surely those are the best sort?!

Yes, indeed they are! That's what many of us log in for - a bit of a chatter and a wee bit of money saving towards our aspirations

I lovely a good waffly diary as I feel I am getting to know the person.

I am sure would be easy to identify me for anyone who knows me in real life as I have mentioned various aspects of our life which in combination are unique.

On here many years ago I was reading a diary and realised it belonged to a RL friend, I promptly stopped reading and unsubscribed as it didn't right to read about them without their knowledge.

Yep, I love the waffly diaries - there are a few who are very succinct but so witty with it, I keep reading them, but 90% is for the chat

Baileys Babe, that's a really good line to draw, good way of thinking about it.

@Cheery_Daff I really liked your 10 minutes break with a list of tasks for each break plan!  I am going to try that for working from home!
I'm sure if people who know me IRL read my diary they would recognise me - I'm sure I've given away lots of details over the last couple of years.

I chuckled a *lot* at this bit  this is great!  Totally empathise with the chickens too
