I’m doing the same 90 seconds of work over and over, like an express Groundhog Day. I am cheerful towards callers until mid-morning, lose all ability for a positive customer service approach by lunch, expect to lose basic maths skills by mid afternoon and will have lost all but the most basic levels of speech by the end of the day.

Yeah, I’ve got a few things from there. I shop online and they have had the cheapest price a few times. They were really good sorting out a problem with my vacuum recently, which was great because LG were absolutely awful dealing with directly.

Something soft & comforting please.

The local anaesthetic has almost completely worn off now. I’ve been through the weird itchy phase and am now moving into the ‘ouch’ phase. Should things get too bad I have Oxycodene on hand. I just need to time it right so I’m not just about to operate any heavy machinery.

I have to go to the dentist this morning. It’s cold and wet outside and way to early and I really don’t wanna.

I guess I use a hybrid version. It’s as you go for the first part of the meal, then towards the end I’ll start focussing on making sure that everything is divided up into portions to make sure there is a bit of everything to go into each bite. I’m the opposite of the people who want all their food segregated and eaten separately, I want all meal components to have equal representation throughout the meal.

Today’s overnight oats were particularly delicious. Although I put so much fruit in them I’m starting to think I should refer to it as fruit salad with oats.

There is - I have one! It actually has a tower/stand that has the bag in it, you put it away on the stand and it opens the dust canister, sucks the dust into the bag and closes it again. I think you can have a robot vacuum that attaches to the same tower.

The one I have is an LG vacuum but there are other brands too.

I put a mandarin in my lunch bag a couple of days ago and ended up not eating it because I took some leave. I figured it would still be fine for a snack today, but I was very, very wrong. I haven’t seen such strong mould growth on a piece of fruit in a long time 😬

I did mine this morning too. I was very glad that things like ‘occupation’ had free entry, not a forced choice from a drop down list. They never actually have anything that fits.

Lots of people at work today so I have a bonus afternoon off. I can now do those things I was supposed to do yesterday and never got to because the lure of the couch was too strong.

Opening it was a matter of peeling the envelope off the letter instead of actually opening it, but it held up pretty well. The vouchers for the tip are drying off, the letter telling me I’m old and should be doing things to ward off dementia is in the bin, and the envelope of junk mail went straight in the bin.

My package turned out to have just fit into the mail box. Which turned out to be not particularly waterproof when there is heavy, wild rain. It’s a bit on the soggy side, and the letters that were with it were absolutely sopping - they were litterally dripping water.

Varies dramatically based on the type and size of cartridge. I have a laser printer with massive toner cartidges that I’ve changed once in 20 years. Many thousands of pages for it. But I’ve had inkjets that seemed to run out every 5 seconds.

A what three words address? There is a ‘disco fish hunt’ and a ‘dodo fish hunt’, maybe it’s the Prime Minister’s next holiday plan.

i’ve got some cheese & herb scrolls I made to go with it. I think they need to be a bit cheesier though, and the next batch I might add some bacon too. If I don’t have something like that cheese on toast is my preference for vegetable soups.

I was never given soup when I was sick, so it can’t be that. Sick food was always dry crackers and flat lemonade.

Pumpkin soup is often pretty yucky. I don’t mind it with a reasonable amount of curry in it, or the one I had today had a lot of chicken stock to give it flavour. Pumpkin on it’s own is just boring mush that is often a bit too sweet. It also had a fair few other vegetables in it, so it wasn’t just watered down pumpkin puree like a lot seem to be.

Why does the thought of soup for lunch always feel so unappealing, but then you have it and it’s delicious and you wonder why you don’t have it more often?

I managed to trigger my bank’s fraud detection last night by transferring some money to myself. Apparently not having a description/reference can be a red flag, so from now on I’ll be putting in reference notes for the benefit of the fraud dept. 😁

Grilled salmon pizza. Mr Woof got a few bits and was very impressed.
