The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Glad you’re okay!!

I’ve got loads of someone else’s job done and not that much of mine - but hopefully I can crack on this afternoon.

[Cacoethes]

I have nothing planned.
I've been to the co op. Chucked the ball around for the dogs.
Let the buildery people in to do something with the water(??)
They said they were gonna turn the water off when they get set up. They're out the front so idk what's going on XD

Why are you having to do someone else's job, Beth? I hope you get what you need done this afternoon but don't have to rush.

What are you getting up to Tamo?

I really should pour boiling water over my weeds (as a crisis nurse told me that kills them) but there's loads of them and right now I don't want my neighbours to see me. I'm not doing much today. Just washed my hair earlier and been online plus trying to read.

[one_step_closer]

Did you get what you needed at the co op, Beckie? Are you managing to occupy yourself?

[Ahimsa]

I’m annoyed I spent my lunchbreak reading instead of having a nap in the car. I’m super tired

[Cacoethes]

I find it's better to just gets things over and done with lindsay!
You said you don't want your neighbours to see you right now, but is that a thing you ever want? Lol
So may as well just do it!

When do you finish beth?

Co op did not have the main things i went for. Which was bananas and yogurt. Disappointing. But i got bread, coffee, babybels, coke zero and fanta zero. And the rest of the ingredients for brownies. I'm going to try and make some on Tuesday for when the fam come back from holiday.

[long road]

Sad times to no bananas, wish I could send you some of my bananas through the internet. The heat means they are ripening quickly and they are just at the right point to eat, soon I fear they will be too squishy for my liking.

[Cacoethes]

It's always a risk with bananas!
And avocados.
They had the fair trade bananas. And obvs i am not against fair trade as a concept, but they just looked to be tiny and were far more expensive than the other bananas would have been, had they been there! And i just refuse to pay those prices for subpar bananas.

[long road]

No point over paying for tiny bananas.

Anything else exciting happen?

[Cacoethes]

Exactly!

Nah. The people fitting the water trough couldn't do it because there was a miscommunication about ordering a part. So mum's going to order it and they'll come back when its arrived. Whenever that may be!

My brother should be coming at some point today hopefully. Quite a long drive and i think he's coming after work so idk.
I hope so!

[tamobhuuta]

I read my book in the garden, finished it :)

[Cacoethes]

Nice!
I'm in the garden listening to kerrang radio. With a coffee and a vape!

[long road]

Ah tradespeople. Everything has to be just so! Still at least that means your water will be back on.

Hope you get to see your brother.

I have managed to stay out of bed today, although got up late. Partners parents have just popped around so having a drink and a chat.

[Cacoethes]

It's a vital part that they need tbf!
The water trough is going to be self filling. So they need the connector
But yes, the water is back!

Thanks

Well done!
I hope you're having a nice time

I'm trying to get some sun on my.legs. they're like ghost white compared to my arms that have been in the sun XD

[tamobhuuta]

I was sat in the sun in a long sleeve dress and tights but I suppose my face might have tanned!

[one_step_closer]

Will you be able to nap after work, Beth? Or have an early night?

Finding nice bananas is tricky.

That's nice of you to be trying to make brownies for your family coming back, Beckie.

I did manage to put some boiling water on some the weeds but am going to have to do it in stages.

I hope you see your brother today.

Sounds like a nice day, Tamo. Well done for finishing your book. Did you enjoy it?

Well done, Jen. I hope you're enjoying your day.

[Cacoethes]

I have limited clothing options! Basically just jeans and t shirts

Well done for doing some of the weeds!

[one_step_closer]

Jeans and t-shirts are all I ever wear other than a hoodie or zipper or jumper. Or even a jacket which some people need to add to their wardrobe!

[Ahimsa]

I'm home!! :)

[one_step_closer]

Yay! Home is good. <3
