Hey lindsay
Yeah I'm not a fan of eye tests
I will be doing some driving later hopefully! Will see when brother gets back from work

How are you?

Did they do the horrible puff of air thing? I hope you can get out for an enjoyable drive.

I'm still not good. Giving up on the gym.

Phone call done. Am not being accepted into study because I am a bit too mental right now but I am ok with that. Thought that might be the case when researcher said there was a screening questionnaire.

Shower done.

Now just chilling in the sofa listening to music with my ankle propped up and a fluffy blanket.

I don't mind eye tests to be honest apart from the puff of air thing. Mind you I have had glasses since I was 4 so I am used to them!

Sorry to hear you are giving ing up on the gym Lindsay, I know it used to be a positive thing for you. Are there any exercises you could try and work into your routine at home?

Afternoon all. It's miserable here and windy. Still having trouble watching TV through the dish. Am killing time until my cpn comes. Though I suspect that she may be late as the main road through my village is shut today due to roadworks. It's eerily quiet.

I've done some painting and hardly spasmed at all! Thanks to lorazepam i think.

Boo to low TV signal Dawn! Can you watch a dvd after your cpn appointment?

Yay to minimal spasms while painting Tamo! What are you painting?

A carmelite wheel. That is, a circle with 6 saints important to Carmelites.

Yes I will find something to watch Jen. Or read a bit more of my book.

What are you reading insig?

The Lonely Hearts Lido Club by Charlie Lyndhurst tamobhuuta.

Yep they did the puff of air thing!
And he did the health check as well. And a field of vision test. It was looong.

I will be driving later :)

Sorry to hear that lindsay

Who were/are the Carmelites Tamo? I feel like I have heard of them but dont remember.

Hope you enjoy whatever you decide to do Dawn.

Glad you get to drive some more today Beckie!

Thanks jen!

How're you getting on?

Hope you are nice and comfy, Jen.

I don't know about exercising at home, I always feel like home is definitely not a place for exercising. And I'm finding it hard to get out so can't go on walks.

Hope it goes/went well with your CPN, Dawn.

Sounds good, Tamo. You seem very talented.

Have you got any personal things in your car yet, Beckie? Like a pink fluffy steering wheel cover? :laugh:

God no! XD
I did order a sticker that says 'don't honk at me, I'm having a crisis' though! :-D

That might have the opposite effect.

Yep it probably will!
Because people are dicks
I think I'd just find it funny though

When we put a 'honk if you want a blowjob' sticker on our old manager's car, no one honked at her

Oh my goodness you must have had a very forgiving manager!

It was one of the days that prank wars was occurring, back when work was fun.
Same manager also got her car wrapped up in cling film. And one of the managers who lived upstairs got everything in his room wrapped in pink shiny wrapping paper.
Good Times

Hello all. Had appointment with my cpn. Felt bullied though. More details in my r/v.

Lol at prank wars!

Carmelites are a religious order (monks and nuns) but I'm a Secular which means I stay a normal person in normal society.

Work used to be so much fun with the old managers!

Sounds interesting tamo!

Don't forget peeps that the next dwp cost of living payment is going in between now and the 22nd. Just in case people wonder why they're richer.

I could not be bothered wrapping all someones stuff up, it's bad enough at Christmas!

Sorry you felt bullied by your CPN, Dawn.

It is very wet, dark and windy!
Slightly terrifying driving conditions tbh!

Evening everyone.
I am being trolled by random fatigue which leaves me unable to perform above amoeba level.
BUT i forced myself to a huge garden/pet/plant shop today and bought fishes for my aquarium :D i also had to leave rather fast when i saw they sold the cutest, wee mice in there <3

Well done for going zurg!
And also for resisting the mice!

I am generally beyond reach of common sense when i see animals in pet shops…. The mice looked like one of my last ones. She was so adorable and now i miss her. Mice are cool!!!
I also bought some tiny insects-thingies which i have forgotten what are called in english. They went in my snail's terrarium and they keep it clean in there and as an added bonus they also help keep the tiny flies away. Yay!!!
Also, as a random thing, does anyone feel a craving for a very old, and possibly senile, male zebra finch??? You can have mine, he is driving me crazy!!!

Sounds like a successful day!

Nah I'm good on the zebra finch front!

What kind of fish did you get Zurg? (Assume I know nothing about fish)

No thank you for zebra finch, I dont fancy the cage cleaning.

Morning everyone
Got to lie in until 6:30!!

Hurray! How are you?

I dragged myself out of bed at 9.30am.

I was up at 8. Then my friend had to cancel her visit as her mini humans refused to go to kindergarden today XD
And now i've just realised i'm pretty tired.

Jen, i got some fish that eat algea and don't grow very big. They are plant eaters so my original fish won't feel threatened by them. And now i can't find the 3rd one. I bought 3 but can only spot 2. Panic!!!!
I hope your mornings have been less dramatic, Tamo and Beckie….!!!

My sister had a fish like that. It lived at the bottom of the tank and was really ugly.

I'm having a cup of tea with my dad.

Hi everyone.

Fish are scary!

Are you feeling better for your sort of lie in, Beckie?

What are you doing today, Tamo?

That's a shame your friend had to cancel, Kat.

Also, Dawn, wherever you are. Thank you for the letter it was so kind of you. It was actually delivered to someone else but luckily they came and put it through my letterbox.

Not much osc. I've been enjoying painting recently. What are you up to?

I'm actually feeling more tired, weirdly!

Been to mini golf (i won again) then nandos then impulse trip to costco

Painting sounds good tamo

What are you up to today lindsay?

Hello all. I have been wild swimming today. The water was 8 degrees (measured it with a thermometer) today.

Glad you got my letter Lindsay. That reminds me I must post a card today. I don't know about anyone else but I am getting post only 3 times a week. I am expecting a charity newsletter through the post and it hasn't arrived yet.

Have you been doing some painting today, Tamo?

I tried to do a bit of reading then sorted out my bins and the bird feeders.

Do you get a prize for winning mini golf?

Dawn, someone on my pen paling group said something about the post maybe starting to only be delivered 3 days a week.

Yes, I think I've finished the painting I've been working on.

L bought me lunch, so that's kind of a prize!

I'm sure the birds appreciate that lindsay!

I've just napped HARD!

Congratulations on the nap!

Don't usually nap that well!
Weird that i slept better than i have in forever and was way more tired than normal

It's terrible if that is the case Lindsay. Hence why i am sending the card today. I have a postcard that needs sending too but that needs writing and posting. It's due to snow here pretty bad tomorrow so if that's the case I am not leaving my flat.

Bodies are weird. Sleep is weird.

Well done, Tamo. Do you have an idea of what you want to paint next?

There is some snow here today.

My phone is just saying rain this week
I don't want any snow

Have you driven in snow before?

I haven't!
It would definitely be a good thing to learn though

I remember being in the car when my friend's mum was teaching her to drive in snow (before she passed her test) it was nerve wracking....

Also hello thread sorry I haven't been around today had friends over this morning and been pretty wiped out since.
