Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

Oh, I hate you
Still got 1 pack of Empire Biscuits, 3 raspberry tarts and 3 pineapple tarts. That should last me until Friday.

Today is a nice day. On my second round of washing. First lot out drying. Got to drop the boy off at the dentist then a bit of shopping. I'm off to Somerset this afternoon for a week away so hopefully the weather will be okay as I've got a lot of painting to do on the chalet.

Good Friday, who’s working, who’s off?

I’m working, but just looking at jobs rather than doing them.
A little bit of rain, so that puts off me cutting the grass later.


Stupid conversation of the day:

My wife phone when I was out this morning and asked me to pick up a tray of eggs from the local farm on my way home….. then instantly asked if theyde be open today…..

Who? The chickens? I’m sure they don’t get a bank holiday…

Good evening, rather than good morning.

At A&E with the youngest. She was at an open day at Aberdeen uni, and went over on her ankle going down some stairs. That was about 12 hours ago.
She got through the day, and a train journey home, and now we’ve seen it…. Ouch.

Been here since 8:30pm.


She had high school graduation tomorrow, then exam leave, had to cancel a driving lesson on Friday…. And her test is booked for about 3 weeks time.

 

[littlespark]

Was seen just after I sent that message.
It’s badly sprained… so no break, no boot… just rest.
She can’t go to graduation…. Which she’s devastated about.
Driving is out…. So we might need to cancel her test.

 

[littlespark]

I can’t believe this is offensive……




Sorry. I mean “a fence sieve”

Driving is out…. So we might need to cancel her test.

I wouldn't. 3 weeks time she'll be running around again. Kids bounce back from these things quickly. It's only old farts like me that take forever.

I'm still down at our place in Somerset. It's a bit cold and dull here today and our only entertainment is watching a pole dancing squirrel.

I wouldn't. 3 weeks time she'll be running around again. Kids bounce back from these things quickly. It's only old farts like me that take forever.

We’re going to give it a week before we decide on the test.

She’s quite bendy this one. Childhood highland dancing and gymnastics… and she goes and falls down standing still.

She’s also got her exams coming up, plus her last ever school theatre show…. Which includes her singing and dancing. Skipping rehearsals for that today.


Eldest daughter contacted me from S. Korea this morning…. Was she asking how I was? Was she enquiring about something technical?? Was she heck…..

“Dad….. do all the Spider-Man’s have the same birthday?”


Eh… what?

“Dad….. do all the Spider-Man’s have the same birthday?”


Eh… what?

Ummm....tell her they all share their birthdays with father Christmas and the tooth fairy.

Back from my week off. Nice little commute from home to West Burton power station this morning. Currently stopped off in our stores to pick up parts. Should get to work some time after 11. I think it's time to retire!
