One of the most productive days I've had actually!

 

Walk down to the docks and back this morning and had a phone call with my Uncle and had a good catch up. I've done some washing, changed the bedding, finished one book and started another, hoovered and cleaned floors, had a little workout and cooked a pretty good curry from scratch!

Time to relax!

Jesus, yeah you managed to rise from the dead whoopdydoo but did you manage to book a home delivery?

First time in I can’t remember how long that we won’t be going to church on Easter Sunday.

Feels very odd and quite sad really.

Us too. We've tried to do other things today, I haven't been able to go out to get Easter eggs nor our traditional roast lamb so we'll have a proper celebration when we can, but for today we're just trying to be thankful, and I've made a chocolate cake to replace the eggs 🎂 I guess I'm just trying to think of it as different, and count our blessings a bit differently this year 🙏

Played poker with my mates via Zoom and Poker Stars tonight. Just 2 x tournament tables, £6 or so buy in, knock out and winner takes all between 6 of us. Haven’t played in bloody ages so took me a while to get my mind switched back on to it all but I really enjoyed it - won the first table and was knocked out first on the second which quickly reminded me why I stopped playing

Planning to do this with some mates on Friday evening on the PPPoker App. Never done it before but looking forward to it.

Another of my bowls buddies died on Sunday.  One of the world's nice guys.  RIP Ted.

Younger sister has been seeing a guy for about 6 months. He’s not a nice person but as a supportive family everyone welcomed him. She found out this week that he’d been seeing somebody else for the whole relationship. It has later transpired that in fact my sister is the other woman and he’d been in a relationship with this other woman a lot longer. It’s quite ballsy, although I’m terrified for her as she doesn’t seem like she wants to walk away despite his despicable behaviour.

and your older sister didn’t tell your younger sister? That’s a bit shitty!

I think you may be confused. His sister is the other woman and who he thought was the “other woman” is just another woman that he’s been in a relationship with for longer but who isn’t another sister 👍

So who’s the sister of the other woman if this woman’s older sister isn’t the other woman’s sister’s  other sister ..    it must have been confusing for him with all these sisters involved ...   when he turned up at the house which one knew who he was taking out that night ...

Havent shaved in like 3 years. Keep a nicely trimmed beard not too long not too short. Decided to shave the fuker off today seeing as im working from home and nobody at work will see.  So weird to see a clean shaven face and feel my face lol. Its liberating. But, i prefer the beard look which i also find liberating.  

 

Thats the extent of my wild life in these covid times.

I’ve got a couple of pretty shit situations that have emerged.

 

The first one is I got a message from a friend to say they have kicked their other half out, one of my best mates, asking me to make sure they were ok etc. He’s gone back to his parents but how on other than messaging and video calls etc there obviously isn’t much I can do to make sure he is ok and I don’t get the impression he will fully open up to me through them methods.

 

The second one, someone I work with is clearly an alcoholic and has recently had his wife and kids leave him so he’s living on his own. This lockdown has clearly had him spiralling out of control and everyday on conference calls he is clearly steaming.

 

I’ve got in touch with him to tell him if he needs to chat to get in touch and he’s admitted “he’s struggling” but won’t say anything more. I’m not his boss but know his boss does known the situation, he clearly needs suspending for being drunk at work but that’s going to be counter productive but saying nothing isn’t going to do anything either.

 

What are you meant to do in situations like this?

First - let them know you're there for them even if it is just through social media communication for now. Not sure there's much else you can do? 

 

Second - I think that's a situation your workplace need to handle and he needs some professional support (through work or not) as it's clearly a difficult and stressful time for him. Hopefully he can confide in or open up more with someone else if he's not comfortable doing so with you but given current situation we're all in it's gonna be difficult to support him more than what you'd be able to do now.

Spent some time researching my paternal grandfather. He was born 152 years ago this week. Had my dad when he was 66 and was nearly 70 when my auntie was born, the rascal. Top surgeon, published books and studies on Ear, Nose & Throat stuff. His obituary was in The Times and British Medical Journal. Was a captain in World War 1. Loads more stuff, interesting to me and the family if nobody else.

 

Does feel odd having a grandparent born as far back as 1868.

Lock down and furlough is proper getting to me man. I just found myself down a YouTube wormhole watching videos of England cricket fans in Australia singing Jerusalem at the start of the days play and I started welling up  

 

We have the best sports fans in the world in this country, whether it’s footy, cricket, rugby, ****ing netball, it makes me dead proud.

A non-English speaker in one of my whatsapp groups just asked us what "slut" means and somebody got really upset at this and went off on a full-on rant about it being a sexist, oppressive term used only to degrade women and take away their right to choose their sexuality, concluding that we should never use it because sexism.  The reason the question was being asked is because the person had been sent a facebook video of a fat, middle aged man with a vacuum jar on each of his breasts, a tattoo below his neck declaring him a cuck, and the word "SLUT" tattooed in giant letters across his stomach. I'm crying  

[StanSP]

Some great news. 

 

Barbecue is on.
