That's what I meant ;)

it's not forever, adjustments have been made for a month so should be fine now right?

Ahimsa 25-03-2024 08:26 PM

hey LR, how're you doing?

Cacoethes 25-03-2024 08:30 PM

Hey jen
How're you?

Should be totally fine now beth! Can completely see their logic with this one...XD

long road 25-03-2024 08:37 PM

Finding things hard at the moment.

Your workplace are rubbish Beth! *Shakes fist at them*

Cacoethes 25-03-2024 08:41 PM

Sorry to hear that jen

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 08:41 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 09:19 AM

Morning people. How are you Cacoethes?

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 09:40 AM

I'm ok thanks. Apart from amazon prime giving me issues! It won't play House, which i was watching yesterday

How are you?

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 10:13 AM

That's a pain! I'm ok, I've decided I do feel well enough to go to Mass.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 10:20 AM

I've fixed it!
Good old turning it off, then turning it on again!

That's good! I hope you enjoy it

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 10:25 AM

Hurray!

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 10:34 AM

It is a relief!
Otherwise I'd have to actually go out and get a life instead of watch house XD

long road 26-03-2024 10:55 AM

Morning everyone!

Turning it on and off again is like magic!

Enjoy mass Tamo!

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 10:58 AM

It is!
When that fails, it's broken beyond repair!

How are you jen?

long road 26-03-2024 11:06 AM

Ah when turning it off and on again fails it's time for percussive maintenance ( hitting it).

I am very tired. Got 5 hours sleep. But mood might be a little brighter than yesterday. Will see how day goes.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 11:18 AM

Aren't you an engineer? XD

5 hours isn't enough. Fingers crossed the hopefully brighter mood sticks around!

long road 26-03-2024 11:24 AM

Yeah but not a computer engineer... XD

It is not enough. Just having a coffee. Hoping it will help me wake up. Yeah fingers crossed I still feel brighter when ai wake up more

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 11:39 AM

Fair XD

Coffee is always a good idea

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 12:15 PM

Hi guys, I'm back. I farted really loudly while the gospel was being read! I could feel people very deliberately not turning round to see who it was.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 12:22 PM

How awkward tamo!
At least no one turned round!

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 12:28 PM

Indeed! You still watching House?

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 12:54 PM

I popped out to aldi but now watching house again!
Boring day so far

one_step_closer 26-03-2024 02:24 PM

Lol, Tamo! I would have died so much they would have known it was me.

Glad you sorted it out so you could watch House, Beckie. I have still to start watching it.

Hope your day is going ok, Jen.

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 02:46 PM

Afternoon all.

one_step_closer 26-03-2024 02:47 PM

Hi, Dawn. How are you?

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 03:04 PM

I am ok thanks Lindsay. I finished my book last night so am wondering what book to start next. I am a third through my good reads yearly challenge.

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 03:14 PM

I have now changed the number of books in my good reads yearly challenge.

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 03:18 PM

Hi osc and insig.

Are there more or less books now insig?

I was so embarrassed osc! How are you?

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 03:38 PM

It's a good show lindsay!
I have impulsively decided to bake brownies for L and S

How are you lindsay?

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 03:56 PM

I have increased the total by 2 more tamobhuuta. So I have 8 books to read in total by the end of the year instead of 6. I have read 2. Though if I update my blog 5 times (I have a book related blog) I should smash it.

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 04:05 PM

Enjoy your books :) I'm keen to read An African History of Africa. I don't often read nonfiction but this sounds really interesting.

long road 26-03-2024 04:35 PM

I was so tired I fell back asleep despite coffee and had like a 3 hour nap.

Ooh brownies! I really wanted chocolate but didn't have any the house so have just made a hot chocolate.

I read / listen to a lot of historical non fiction Tamo, I really enjoy learning about history especially bits I don't know much about. Who is the African history of Africa by?

Did you like the book you just finished reading Dawn?

How are you Lindsay? How is Crookshanks?

tamobhuuta 26-03-2024 04:39 PM

It's by Zeinab Badawi.

one_step_closer 26-03-2024 04:54 PM

Well done for finishing your book, Dawn. I hope you can find a good one to read next. Do you have any at home or will you order one? I deleted my Goodreads goal this year because I'm just not feeling it. I usually aim to read 100 books a year.

When are you going to send me some brownies, Beckie?!!!

Did your nap help, Jen? I hate having cravings for things when there is nothing in the house.

I'm just blah. Crookshanks is fine, I have the heating on so he is enjoying his warm snooze.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 05:04 PM

Did the hot chocolate satisfy the craving sufficiently jen?

I will! How would they not get chucked around and broken though? Though i guess you can still eat broken brownie!

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 05:28 PM

I have plenty of books here (must have over 300!) so I don't need to purchase any more Lindsay. I set my goal deliberately low as I usually pick 8 books to read on a Summer Reading Challenge on another forum but never manage to do so. I have set myself the goal of updating my blog more often this year.

Jen there's a more detailed post in the Creativity part of the forum. But yes I did enjoy it.

I have discovered the cause of the knocking. The good news is that I wasn't imagining it. There was someone banging next door today and making knocking noises. Not sure if it's workmen or if the flat has been let and it's the new tenants making noise but it was them that I was hearing. So I am not going mad today and my brain is not being a troll. Which is a relief. So it was next doors noise I was hearing that I was thinking was my door.

one_step_closer 26-03-2024 07:01 PM

You'll need to ask Jenna for tips, Beckie. She sent me some on my birthday and they were fine!

How are you going to decide which book to read next, Dawn? I have rules for the order I read my books in so I don't have to decide. I'm glad you found out the cause of the knocking.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 07:10 PM

I shall seek the wisdom of jenna!

one_step_closer 26-03-2024 07:17 PM

Then I can judge who makes the best brownies. :laugh:

I have never even tried to make brownies.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 07:27 PM

You can indeed!

You should try! Something to do!

one_step_closer 26-03-2024 07:31 PM

I used to like baking but not any more. It feels like too much of an effort. Do you have something that is your signature bake?

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 07:35 PM

That's fair enough
It's not for everyone! I don't like cooking for the same reason. Baking effort i can do though!
Brownies are my thing really. Always have been! Started making them when i was like 9

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 07:39 PM

Lindsay if it's a book in a series I read them in series order. Otherwise if it's the Summer Reading Challenge then I pick the longest first and then pick the ones I think I would like best afterwards. I had the book I just finished for Christmas and my mum thought that I would never read it hence why I started it. In the case of my blog I try and do it by author.

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 07:42 PM

I am the same re baking Lindsay. I used to do tons but not any more. Plus my parents didn't like my baking and I have nobody else to bake for.

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 07:56 PM

Oh hi dawn!

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 08:32 PM

Hi Beckie

Cacoethes 26-03-2024 08:34 PM

Thought you'd had my posts blocked or something!
But you can see me, it's all good

not_so_insig 26-03-2024 08:53 PM

No I haven't blocked you Beckie. I have only ever blocked one person and they haven't posted for years.
