I am bit blargh.

I guess I will have to be a peasant in the meantime and either use my garden chairs or lie on my picnic blanket XD

Oh no not Beckie with a throwing axe! :P (In all seriousness I hear it's very fun).

one_step_closer 01-07-2023 06:49 PM

I think you need a special technique to master axe throwing, hope you're a natural Beckie! So many fun times for you. :-D

Sorry to hear you're not so good, Jen. I really hope you feel better soon. Also sorry to hear you will have to be a peasant, are you going to embrace the full lifestyle or just the being outside things?

Cacoethes 01-07-2023 07:19 PM

Ugh! A garden chair! How common :tongue2:

Haha! My thoughts exactly jen!
Just signed the waiver and it mentiones things like dislocations and paralysis XD
YOLO!

Just made tuna pasta bake hoping eating that when it's ready will cheer me up a bit. We are having it with salad.

Just outside peasantdom. I like my home comforts.

I mean they are wooden folding ones not the true peasantdom of the plastic garden chair!

Well taekwondo skills will hopefully help you throw in a coordinated fashion *fingers crossed*

After all you only die once too :p

Cacoethes 01-07-2023 07:33 PM

That's not too bad then :tongue2:
Enjoy your pasta bake!

Hopefully!
Yeah that's true!
I'd rather die doing something cool like axe throwing, than something normal and boring!

one_step_closer 01-07-2023 08:06 PM

Don't even say that, Beckie!!!

I hope you enjoy(ed) your pasta bake, Jen.

long road 01-07-2023 08:09 PM

It was one of the best pasta bakes I have made in a while. Layered some cheese throughout as well as on the top and distributed the tuna and sweetcorn well.

Definitely enjoyed it. Sadly it has not really cheered me up but it was tasty.

Cacoethes 01-07-2023 08:09 PM

But it's trrruee! Maybe i can go axe throwing again in my 90's XD

one_step_closer 01-07-2023 08:10 PM

Don't you want to make it to 100 back to rocking your purple hair and quirky t-shirts?

nonperson 01-07-2023 08:24 PM

Oooh axe throwing! I've done that before and we didn't need waivers and all that so it can't be that dangerous =P

Cacoethes 01-07-2023 08:38 PM

If i have all my senses then yes!
Because i don't wanna live that long just to have someone wipe my arse for me and not be able to go anywhere!

Are you sure you went to a legit place?? XD
This waiver covered A LOT. Lol
Including you can't do it if you have a medical condition that could cause you injury. I don't think epilepsy really counts anymore as i haven't had a seizure in forever!

nonperson 01-07-2023 08:44 PM

It was legit! And they came to me not the other way round! Well, it was an organised work activity thing so maybe someone signed a waiver on everyone's behalf... O.o And we were only doing it for like 10 minutes =P

Cacoethes 01-07-2023 08:45 PM

Fair enough!
Pretty cool that you got to do that as a work activity!
All my work activities are just...alcohol XD

nonperson 01-07-2023 08:54 PM

Well... that is cool as well! >.>

It's a bit of a team building/fun activities/get together sort of thing that we have every year with segways and pistol shooting and archery and last year there was even duck herding too. XD

And there was a free bar afterwards ;-)

Cacoethes 01-07-2023 09:01 PM

And throwing people's sliders on rooves/on the road near the roundabout...

That sounds like so much fun!
And a free bar!

nonperson 01-07-2023 09:16 PM

Is that a regular work activity? O.o

It is fun... depending on what mood I'm in and how much I care on the day about not being good at it. We've got another one coming up in a couple of weeks.

long road 01-07-2023 09:32 PM

Duck Herding!!!!

Where can I sign up?

nonperson 01-07-2023 09:40 PM

Come to my work a week next Wednesday ;-)

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 07:10 AM

Strangely, throwing people's sliders on rooves/in other odd places IS a regular activity!
I think a croc may still be on the roof from one of the leaving drinks last year....


Morning everyone!

long road 02-07-2023 07:47 AM

Quacking NP!

Morning Beckie

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 07:54 AM

Omg someone is up when I'm up!

Morning jen!
How are you?

tamobhuuta 02-07-2023 09:56 AM

Morning guys, how are you?

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 10:01 AM

Morning!
I'm ok thanks.
Not got a lot to do. Changed bedsheets and put washing on. Do a guinea pig clean out and shower. Do need to do a quick clean of the house too. That won't take long.

Have you got much planned for today?

long road 02-07-2023 10:04 AM

Sorry to disappoint Beckie, I fell back asleep in th end.And had a weird dream that included doing chores at my secondary school.

Trying not to fall asleep again

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 10:08 AM

I assumed that's what happened XD
That is a weird dream!

Fall asleep if you need to!

tamobhuuta 02-07-2023 10:19 AM

I've got my prayer group, perhaps followed by a Costa! I prefer my day to yours.

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 10:23 AM

We are all different! I prefer my day, keeps me busy for longer!
Though cleaning does suck. A clean house is nice though.
I hope you enjoy your things!

long road 02-07-2023 10:45 AM

I am still awake just about. Trying to stay awake so I get back on routine. Been waking up late a lot last week or so.

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 11:42 AM

Routine is good, but so is rest when you need it!

Just given the boys a treat each after the clean out (they know it's treat time when i come in from taking the bin out) and pippin damn near took my finger off XD

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 12:37 PM

Afternoon to all my favourite people. Sending you good day wishes.

Did you take your Zopiclone, Beckie? Well done for all you've done so far. You need to do something fun too though. (Not practicing axe throwing though, although I assume you don't have an axe). Pippin must have been extra excited!

I hope you enjoy your prayer group, Tamo, and hopefully get a Costa too.

I hope you can have a good mix of rest and doing what you want to/need to today, Jen.

I've changed my bedding and surprisingly the duvet went into the sheet nicely for a change. I've washed my hair and done a bit of hoovering too. Will clean Crookshanks stuff later on after he's had his dinner.

My Talk Talk bill for this month is huge because of all the calls to Duty. Oops! If I phone them in the future I might need to be cheeky and ask if they will phone me back.

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 12:42 PM

Yep I've been taking the zopiclone. It's not doing anything, along with the 2 other sedating meds XD

I do not have an axe!

Well done for doing the things lindsay!

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 12:47 PM

Are you not even getting a better sleep through the night, even if you're still waking early?

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 01:10 PM

Nope XD

Decided to get started learning my next grading theory.
Grading isn't until September. But i know it'll creep up on me!

long road 02-07-2023 01:15 PM

I popped outside and had a coffee sitting in a chair like a peasant instead of reclining in the luxury of a hammock :p

It was a bit chilly today as high winds so had to sit with my legs in the sun and put a hoodie on. It was a bit of annoying temperature though because when the wind died down the hoodie was too hot. Probably should have just worn jeans and then I could have sat in the shade at a good temperature XD

do you not get a load of minutes free Lindsay? or is it a house phone you use?

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 01:18 PM

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time :tongue2:

I was dripping with sweat when cleaning the pigs out! And was really hot this morning! But now I'm cold.

long road 02-07-2023 01:46 PM

Thank you! :P

perhaps it is oodie and coffee time Beckie?

I am eating lunch of houmous and breadsticks and left over tuna pasta bake

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 01:58 PM

I hope somehow you can sleep better soon. Beckie. Is there lots to learn for your grading theory? What sort of stuff do you need to know? I hope you have a nice cosy jumper on now.

That must have felt awful, Jen, sitting on a chair outside considering just how posh and important you are! It's hard to figure out what to wear these days. Usually it's jumper/hoodie on, jumper/hoodie off repeated. I hope you enjoyed your lunch. It's a house phone I use, Jen. I prefer using it to my mobile. I do get a discount for the numbers I've added to my calling circle of which Duty is one.

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 02:02 PM

I found a negative thoughts banishing spray pin when I was going through my box of stuff to donate. Decided to keep it.

*sprays everyone liberally*

long road 02-07-2023 02:11 PM

In all seriousness they are pretty great wooden chairs, just nothing beats a hammock!

Its only cold enough for a jumper outside. inside I am fine in my t-shirt and shorts.

house phones be expensive! Still comfort wise handsets are nicer to call from, mobiles make my ears sweaty after a little while.

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 02:45 PM

What's everyone getting up to?

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 02:46 PM

Definitely not cold enough for an oodie!
I was gonna get a coffee but thought I'd just clean the house instead. So that's done and I've warmed up!

Sounds like a decent lunch!

Thanks lindsay. I think I've just accepted i sleep like crap now XD
There are 6 questions. Not particularly difficult, but one of the answers is always a good chunk of text!
One is always 'what's the meaning of [the pattern for your grading]' , then like what does x colour belt mean (the belt you're working towards) and learning some relevant korean words.

I haven't had a house phone for many years!

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 03:16 PM

Time for a sit down now, Beckie?!

I don't think I'd like to do taekwondo just because of the tests.

Somehow I thought you needed to have a house phone to get broadband.

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 03:19 PM

Yeah. Not really much else to do until shower apart from mooch about!

Lol! It's not really tricky stuff until you get to black belt.
Then it's insane!

Nah. You don't.

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 04:03 PM

Are you watching anything on the TV?

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 04:08 PM

Venom, currently!

one_step_closer 02-07-2023 06:28 PM

I've never watched that. Will be catching up with Casualty later.

What's the week ahead looking like for you?

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 06:39 PM

It's good!
I haven't watched casualty in forever!

All the usual stuff really!
Apart from psych tomorrow and axe throwing on Wednesday! Oh and spoons with the glow beatz back row crew on Friday.
I asked a manager if i could be a few mins late tomorrow if needed, because psych is at 11:30. I might be finished before 12 but i don't shut up, so you never know XD

nonperson 02-07-2023 07:43 PM

Evening all!

I watched Venom yesterday =o

"So many snacks, so little time." =P

Cacoethes 02-07-2023 07:46 PM

Hey np!

Haha! :p
Venom is awesome. Have you seen the 2nd one?

nonperson 02-07-2023 07:51 PM

I have not seen the second one yet but I really reeeally need to.
