The good morning thread

[zagatoes30]

We moved boxes to Ireland that were packed when we moved into Silverstone 18 years before, we did unpack everything when we arrived here but some of the stuff in those boxes went back into different boxes and are in the loft here

Morning, all. Just saw that 10 January...twenty-five years ago...was the debut of The Sopranos. For your binge-watching pleasure, and/or insight into my psychology. Got the looms done; have to work on the accoutrements and heddles, as well as finish two frames. Thankfully only day two of the three-day weekend...why aren't four-day work weeks the norm? Also smoking a pork butt, and will crisp up some brussels sprouts later...

The Sopranos redefined TV. And HBO, for that matter. Still one of the best programmes of all time.

Smoking a pork butt... there is so much imagery in those small words.

Anyway, morning, all. Last night I slept for ten and a half hours. Which was nice. Kind of on the drag with work now, so need to speed up. Have a good Monday (Monday?), all.

Morning! Third day of a three day weekend, and zero motivation to return to work tomorrow. I remember when that wasn't the case. Oh well.

Joining the service taught me I didn't need more than I could stuff in a seabag. Getting divorced multiple times ensured that I wouldn't. Feel free to follow my path to not being weighed down by your possessions! Hope audits go seamlessly; security gets upgraded swiftly; and sleep returns sweetly...

Good morning everyone and Good Luck Andy.

Thanks Phil it was a long day but she left happy and said she wouldn’t be back. Phew.

Morning all, earlier start and chuffing cold time for my big coat

 

[Andyk]

Good morning all.

Work.

Plenty to do once Ms French out to the office.
Have a Good day everyone.

That the Mrs you're talking about there, Andy?

Morning, all. Brrr! Crappy sleep last night due to effing jet-lag. Be fine by the end of the week but I started early to force my body clock to get its shite together.

Having read DLax69’s message about multiple divorces and packing all your possessions into one bag, I was worried when I read your message. I then scrolled back and was relieved to see that you were talking about the female auditor and not your better half! Phew indeed!

Morning all! Actually warmer here than yesterday. All went well, and now I'm stuck in Leeds until Thursday!

Oh well. Have a good one, all

I now see that Crud pupped me to the post on that one

 

[Harry]

Pipped!!!

 

[Felonious Crud]

Pipped!!!

Pupped sounds more fun, though.

Morning all, the very last Westminster gate today (at least from the current works order).

Have fun all…

Good morning from sunny Morzine!

I've been watching Ski Sunday - are you going to emulate any of them?

 

[DLax69]

Morning, all...rain ahead of really chuffing cold here. Low tonight of 14F forecast. Very rare, thankfully...but this air mass is settling in til Sunday, it seems...so a good time keeping waterers flowing ahead. Back to work today; theoretically dinner plans/date night but who can ever be certain?

Bad start to the day as the trains were messed up (they blame the weather), so my journey was delayed / took longer and so no missed meeting #1 of the day.
It’s is flipping cold, but no snow.
Take care if you have the white stuff or Pzero’s

White stuff +PZeros = brown stuff.

Morning Dublin again today but a nice post Christmas lunch.

A bit of a scare yesterday though, my eyes suddenly, and I mean during lunch, went strange. I got blurred vision at all distances in both eyes. In the morning all fine glasses for close up computer work and no glasses for any other vision but after lunch everything was blurred at all distances. Various-focal glasses helped the distance stuff enough to get home still not right. Over the next few hours all seemed gradually to return to normal and today all seems fine so a bit strange. Booked into opticians tomorrow just in case.
