I'm supposed to be building a garden shelter thing and have been meaning to get round to it for the last 5 years no. You cant rush these things, its all in the planning...

Parking apps, or more appropriately cunting councils that don't give you any other way to pay for your parking other than with an app

Group working with 'adults' on a course!!

Ok, I'm probably not the best at group work but equally, I do try quite hard.

But, foreign language, all three other group members had retests last week; one wouldn't listen to anyone else then got pissy, another also has some issues with reading french and the third speaks so quietly I have no idea how anyone hears her!! - I'm sure the list could go on, but I don't want to get any more peeved!! LOL

We started the week wrong as Mr NotListening decided how we would do the project and it wasn't how we should. So then I called the group out as I was totally sidelined and couldn't even work on it on my own as couldn't get them to share the info they were deciding (this all in the first day!)

Second day, someone else in the group realised we were not following the required process. So, more grumpiness and then got started eventually.

Third day was the driving exams for the three - spread out over the day. So I tried to catch up a bit.

Fourth day was basically other training, so we didn't get the chance to work together and it was results day and Mr Grumpy actually din't come back to class after the results (he failed)

No one else was really involved Thursday and Friday, so I ended up with all the paperwork. I did my other homework yesterday (question mark over some of it as couldn't hear the instructor properly due to her wearing a mask and everyone else chatting while she was talking so am not totally sure what one of the tacho machine symbols means in terms of waiting/rest!!).

Today I tried to get into the project to catch up. Not so easy!! LOL The grumpy man planned a really horrible route and I'm trying to follow the map/google to confirm the route, write down the lefts, rights, roundabouts etc in a way that can be understood

I gave up so for a break I've driven to the hotel and am back doing homework for a couple of hours . FFS!! Almost no one in the room is ever going to need this skill but we have to pass it

The really annoying ones use an app that no one has ever heard of rather than the 5 cluttering up your phone. A bonus point if the car park doesn't have a signal.

Non-hinged fuel tank caps.

Filling up the bike a mile from home after doing some more running in miles.

Fumbled the cap, dropped it on the tank and it's taken three chips out of the (very thin) paint... with 201 miles on the clock

Someone at school has shared a sodding bastard cold Currently have a sore throat and the runny nose is starting

A bit annoying for school, might have to find out a mask, but not sure if everyone else will do that too??

But seriously annoying as I have a date on Thursday So, will be heading to the pharmacy in the lunch break tomorrow to get the meds to stop eyes and nose running and then see if I have to tell him on Weds that I'm ill and does he still want to meet up Gutted - been looking forward to the date for a week now

Fluff up the fun bags and put a short skirt on. He'll be putty in your hands.

Trust me, when he's playing tonsil hockey, virus transmission will be the last thing on his mind.....

In that case I’ll work on getting the right drugs to stop my face running and hopefully he wont be put off!!

Gilets.

The word?

The garment?

The smug air of self satisfaction surrounding the wearer?

(I like gilets)

I'm fine with the garment, per se, even though I find the concept of 'warm body/cold arms' somewhat bizarre. The word itself, again, no issue with, although I might favour the more working class word 'Body warmer'.

As for the smug pricks who have watched an episode of 'Industry' on the Beeb and have run out to buy one... I'll leave that one hanging there.

7 days in of man-flu and still pretty shite. I'm less shite than i was, but still far far from anywhere being normality.

Not sure even if it is that it changes anything as such. I've not lost any sense of smell or taste, other than being full of snot at times. Maybe it is, maybe it's not....but like i say, not sure it changes much.

When I had Covid, I didn't lose my taste or smell but still tested positive for well over a week.

I've had some sort of lurgy which has hit me really hard in the lungs more than anything but I've tested negative for covid. There's a lot of it about judging by the number of people coughing and wheezing.

Probably not as interesting as expected!!

Bloody hell, I hope my version doesn't last 7 days!!

I am reasonably sure it's not covid but only because I have never had symptoms at the time with Covid (only the first time losing sense of taste and smell - just didn't realise for weeks!) - this is a full on runny face cold like I get every February! Just peeved it's happened a few months early!!
