Wouldn't you know it, another busy week! Busy for us all. Thing two had a bonus day off yesterday, and to ease us all getting to work and school he stayed at grandpa's house the night before. Clare had an early start, and so did I, off to London, so thing one had to let himself out of the house and lock the door behind him. Luckily he managed it OK.
Enjoyed London, met another old workmate on the train and heard about more people who have left Holiday Extras, even though the business is picking up again. Hurry up and pay me back my share money! Also met three more of my current work colleagues in the office for the first time. Apart from the coffee break chats I'm not sure I'm getting much out of going into the office, I'm not getting as much done as when I work from home.
Speaking of coffee, I heard yesterday I can get reusable pods for our nespresso machine, so might look into that. Also supposedly the IKEA coffee is very good. Getting a reusable pod for the nespresso defeats the point of the nespresso though maybe. It still gets the pressure right and will make a perfectly measured cofee I suppose, and it must be better than hoping the current pods will actually be recycled.
Today the boys and I have the day off, and Clare has a different sort of day as it's graduation from her training . We can't all go along to see it so just grandpa and thing one are going and thing two and I are off to the cinema. We were going to try and fit in swimming too but won't have time with the time of the film. Think we're choosing Ron's Gone Wrong1 over Boss Baby 21 thankfully.
Had a little run on the treadmill this morning while watching Money For Nothing. Still haven't spotted those chairs I saw in the shop in Folkestone that said they were featured on the show.
This day in gigging history in various years I was at Carter USM (1995), The Darkness (2003), Goldie Lookin Chain (2004) and Jon Richardson (2016). That last one feels like one of the last times we went out, but it was five years ago...
Got to fit in a Tesco run today to pick up a few bits, and maybe a meal deal before our midday film showing. Then later to the Inn Doors, hopefully there for opening time today and then home to snooze in front of Taskmaster, The Last Leg and Squid Game (again).
