TheBookHippie Hot day here 🥵 finally can plant ! 4y
CocoReads @TheBookHippie so hot. Even if I had a function stove it would definitely be a salad for dinner kind of night. Which is what I had. 4y

CocoReads Busy busy day at work, made a nice big chef salad for dinner. Hot and humid. 4y
TheBookHippie @CocoReads School has NO AIR as it is under construction therefore it was so miserable it was nuts...... we got take out Chinese ! HA. 4y
TheSpineView Same kind of day for me, busy and productive. Came home tired but feeling like I got a lot accomplished. I was so tired I took an hour nap and now feel refreshed. On to reading for a bit. 4y

kezzlou85 Sorry your day was bad, I hope tomorrow is better for you. 4y
Andrew65 @TheSpineView @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @kezzlou85 Thanks everyone, hope you all have a good day tomorrow. 4y
Andrew65 @TheSpineView This is good but I worry at the same time!! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Sorry you had a bad day. I had lots to do but it was quiet so I got some good progress on an audiobook. I need to pop into the grocery store on my way home, but I'm leaving work a bit early & the weather's good so I don't mind much. 4y
CocoReads Still at work. 20 minutes to go. My hubs informed me via text that our oven stopped working. He claims the stove tops fine but I kinda don‘t trust any of it. Guess we‘ll be stove shopping this weekend. 😬😡 4y
CocoReads Also I hope tomorrow is better for you @Andrew65 4y
CBee Hope tomorrow is better, @Andrew65 ♥️ 4y
Crazeedi Sending a hug Andrew, I recommend some Montalbano to take you away and make you laugh! Haven't been on cause this week is crazy getting packed for 2 week vacation to lake, I hope your weekend is restful for you my friend 4y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi Thanks needed that as a parent had a right go at me (totally unjustified) just to deflect from pressures on her. Put me in a downward spiral all day. You‘d think by now I‘d be tougher having done the job for 18 1/2 years! A day like that makes you think about retiring! 4y
Andrew65 Thanks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @CBee @CocoReads for the love and support, yesterday a very tough day all day and tough night (see post above). Type of day that makes you wonder why you do the job. Not helped as totally exhausted after the past 15 months. 4y
Andrew65 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Weather been non stop rain for us all week. Need sone sun. Enjoy your weather. 😊 4y
Andrew65 @CocoReads The last thing you want. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I work at an economy hotel and some of the guests are just awful the way they treat staff. I'm fortunate that in sales I rarely encounter them personally, but it's still draining hearing about it and seeing how the staff feels when it happens. A bit weekend ahead but I am hoping for some rain soon. It's dry and wildfires broke out in southern New Jersey 😫 4y

Hillhead, Hampshire #VirtualTour

How was Saturday? Relaxing day here reading, although so tired difficult to read at times. Weather grey and wet.

CocoReads Cloudy a@d a bit chilly but still nice enough to open our windows. I‘ve read, did a few light chore and taken a nap. I‘m really not ready to go back to work on Monday. Lol 4y
TheSpineView Still no gas here so I didn't get to the barn today. 😕 Instead I cleaned house in the AM and I am getting some reading in now. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I was up early to prep for the day. We're having a party for my niece's 1st Birthday (and her mom's enjoying it too since they're birthdays are just a few days apart.) It's good to finally see a few of the cousins we haven't seen since 2019. The weather is overcast but nice and we've got a DJ pumping some dance-y tunes. I can't complain. Have a great Saturday everyone! 🤗 4y
Lynnsoprano Tired after garden tour, but it was a great time. 4y

Milford on Sea, Hampshire. Hurst Castlecat the top. #VirtualTour

How was Monday? Very busy day. Two governors meetings amongst everything else and training tonight. Now got our Road Map for school for coming out of COvID, just need rates to stay low!

#DailyCheckIn

CocoReads Busy day at work then I had to get groceries. Ugh-the most hated task. They had one lane open and tons of people. 4y
TheSpineView Busy day here too. On top of everything going on there is currently a gas shortage here on the east coast. This could have all been avoided if the pipeline computer system was not on the internet. I also want to know when the last time they backed up the system. It should be done daily. 😡😡😡 4y

kezzlou85 Daughter found our her options choices for GCSE, she can't do French so History instead. She's okay about it. Got my second covid jab tomorrow so made sure to get bits done in case I feel rough. 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 That‘s awful isn‘t it. Yet at primary all children have to do a language. 4y
