Progress not Perfection

Don't think I would like just having a 25% share of a locker. I have similar working conditions to you (public service but in Aus) where we no longer have allocated desks and work from home a couple of days a week but at least we all have an allocated locker where we can store belongings.

Morning all.

WFH today. Mr M delivery arrived before 7am and all packed away now. No missing items or subs.

The older cat is at the vets this morning for her annual vaccinations and check up. Typical rain is forecast for today as we'll be taking her on Mr SA's scooter. The other option is a taxi but they are impossible to get for 9am unless you book at least a day before as they're all out on school runs. Oh well we will just have to get wet. 

Today's exercise will be walking to the vets and back, a lunchtime bums & tums session and resistance bands tonight. 

Going to make the harissa prawn orzo for tonight's dinner, I make this quite a lot as it's very easy to make and very tasty. 

I'm going to have to try and pull in all the housework during the week as Mr SA has committed us to going to DS's on Saturday to help him put a couple of fence panels up. I could really do without this but Mr SA wants to help him so I do understand, but it means train journeys two days running plus being out of the house all day Friday and Saturday so I'll only have Sunday to get everything done.

We got absolutely soaked this morning going to/from the vets. The cat was given a clean bill of health and has been vaccinated for another year. She was really well behaved and just sat calmly on the vets table to be examined then got straight back in her cat box afterwards. Nothing to pay out as I do the pet plan thing to cover vaccinations, flea and worm treatment. I'll remember to book a taxi next time though if rain is forecast. We both had to get changed as soon as we got home.

The Ninja food processor is coming this afternoon. That was quick! Only ordered it on Sunday.

Blimey, the joys of not having your own desk anymore!!

That’s the forfeit for being able to work from home. I do miss the days of having your own desk and storage but on the other hand being able to work from home is brilliant. I’d struggle to go back to having to be in the office all day every day now. 

I thought that when I was called back into the office full time but actually I have settled back into it again now.

Wouldn't be up for hot desking though. I like my own desk!!

I tend to sit at the same desk when I go in the office but if someone beats me to it I’m giving them the evil eye all day, how dare they sit at my desk 🤣 It took some getting used to but the pay off for me is the 2 days WFH.

I was going to pull the eBay items until there was a fee free weekend but have just had a bid on one item. I’ll leave it until the listings have ended then pull whatever hasn’t sold. 

In other money news I’ve sent £8.66 to the 1p saver pot to cover the next 7 days. 

The sun came out at lunchtime so Mr SA took the dog on the park. It’s looking a bit dark again now though. 

The food processor is here and looks so much easier to use than my old one. It’s compact enough to leave out on the worktop which might encourage me to use it more. There’s a nice little recipe book with it too.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Sun Addict but it was ME who was going to marry David Cassidy.  As I shared a birthday with him (same date, different age) it seemed entirely likely that a marriage would follow.  I think we had a lucky escape though as I don't think he was always a very nice person.  I fulfilled a log held ambition to see him in concert (I was in my 40's 🤣) and i was very disappointed.

🤣🤣🤣 What a shame he was disappointing in the concert. I think in reality he led what my dear mum would call a ‘rum life’ not the clean cut image he portrayed 😬

You can both keep David Cassidy….I was all about Michael Praed in Robin of Sherwood. Imagine my horror when he turned up in emmerdale all old 😖
