just another day and its all over —or is it ????? When i was younger and raising a family, i would have been back at work Monday morning, along with everyone else. In those days , if you didn’t turn up for work—you didn’t get paid . Simples !!!!!!!
Today it seems like you leave off work a week before Christmas —— return around the 6th January. Still trying to work that one out .
AND IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A CHILD ——lets not even go there . maternity leave ??????? Women have a years leave fully paid leave ——- man has three months anxiety absence ???? What a feckin joke that is .
Glad i was born when i was ?????
None of my relations from the USA will be coming over this Christmas —utter and complete clutter up here —- very expensive too —-and thats after you land . Crappy quarantine hotels —very depressing indeed . Had a nice day with Lizzie yesterday nothing like a six year old for brightening up your day .
Today, i am having a late lunch/dinner at Boo‘s down in FINDON VALLEY . Was going to be a greatfaamily gathering of the Morris/Wilson clans —- afraid that’s gone out of the window .
Still chucking it down —- but as Scarlet said —-TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.
USA airlines shutting down or canceling flights by the dozens. Indoor dining and events not shut down but if you haven't been vaccinated, you're not going to attend. Am hearing if you had the 1st, 2nd dose plus a booster, and get a breakthru infection (Omicron) its like nitrous oxide for your immune system when you get thru the symptoms. I'm planning on a "4th" booster of some kind in April / May 2022. These vaccinations remind me of oxydizers we used to add to racing fuel. Omicron showing up in kids but not nearly as severe as where we were a year ago. Covid shots are starting to be "routine" just like flu shots. I don't think I'll be pitching my mask out for years? NFL is even postponing games due to Covid protocol. Too many players benched / quarantined to even make a starting lineup. Assistant coaches have had to fill in for head coaches too. But, the crowds are back in the stadiums (vaccinations required).:smiletest:Quote:

clubs asking for matches to be postponed as they couldn’t put a team together due to players having covid . If there is a fourth jab —i think i will go for it.
WOW— was taken quite a few years back Fuji—- my grandkids at the cripple bar ?????
Crazy weather Christmas — when i was a kid it was always colder than charity— usually snow and frost —skating on the lake —snowball fights — making slides on a frozen pavement . This year was different . Temperature was unseasonably high some ten degrees higher than normal. Breeding ground for bugs. RAIN-RAIN-and still more feckin rain. Christmas has been and gone —its now as far off as it will ever be -[one of my sainted mothers favourite quotations].
Back in SUPERSHED tomorrow . Cant be doing with sitting on my backside doing nothing any more .
actually sold quite a fair bit of clobber over Christmas . Dropped the price on everything —seems to have done the trick —-sold a beautiful tool box —brimming with sockets half —three eights and quarter drive . Lowered the price to £50-00. went in the first ten minutes.
INTERESTING —- that particular piece i made for my wife‘s Christmas present some eight/ten years ago. I later transferred it to a concrete plinth for the garden. It has travelled to the last three houses and is currently ensconced under the RED ACER —- see if i cant take a piccie later today .
RIDING THE TUBE—- ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE PAST —- gave it to my grandson JOE— he’s a boarding fanatic . Hell of a lot of fernagling been chucked under the bed since then.
