I had this strange feeling that I was being watched

A neighbour's cat was watching me work this morning.  I think it got bored as it didn't stay long.

Keeping in touch

It's very tough with everybody locked away at the moment so we've been trying to stay in touch with friends and family by using some of the various online tools.

Last week we had a remote 40th birthday cheer, a games night that only involved red wine, a quiz (which we won (5/10)) and chat with my brothers family on Sunday.  This week we've got a film night.  This will involve us all pressing play on Netflix at the same time then talking bollocks over it whilst (you've guessed it) drinking red wine.

Some sexy shots of the cat

Here's Josie rolling around trying to attract some attention.

She obviously caught my attention as I took a load of photos of her.  She's a good cat.  We were very lucky with the adoption.  Very patient with Flo, not that Flo's bad with her, she just understands that it's a necessary evil.

Lazy cat

Here's Josie on top of the conservatory asking to come in.  We have child / burglar locks on the sash windows so they only open a little bit.  She had to crawl on her belly to get in.  Poor girl.

If you look in the back ground you can see our wonderful hanging baskets...  Almost Babylonesk.  They are of course weeds growing in the guttering of our conservatory.   There is a gap between our house and our next door neighbours but not sure if I can squeeze into it to clear out the guttering.

Our long term plan is to get this knocked down and replaced with something more permanent therefore negating the need for me to do some actual work. 

Once things calm down we'll sort it out...

We're tidying up some files at the moment and I just found this

It's the x-ray of my left hand before I had the operation, check out the image on the right.  What direction is that pointing in?  Ouch!  If you search for my other finger x-ray, that's better, it looks like i'm giving someone the V.

I don't think i've seen this x-ray before.  April must have squirrelled it away in her filing cabinet.

A bit shorter than I expected...

April did it. It's basically a 6 on the top with a 4 'blended' into the back and sides. 

I'm sure it'll grow back...

Haircut?

I was due to get my haircut this Saturday (the day before the Australia trip), but that's not going to happen now as all of the hairdressers are now shut.

I have a set of clippers for trimming my 'beard', the question is do I let April attempt to cut it for me?  I don't have a particularly complex haircut, it's basically a number two with a trim on top.  Incidentally that's the same thing i've asked for for at least the last 25 years!

I think if I get her to do a 5 or a 6 all over, then we can take it from there...  watch this space.  I mean what's the worst that could happen???

The last friend that cut my hair was Kris, when he gave me a 0.  I think he ran away for fear of a beating after that.

That's a turn up for the books

Just weighed myself for the first time in a month and i'm down to 90.5kg.  Not intentionally.  Pretty sure I was nearly 95kg before.

I've only been socially excluding for a week and a half, but have missed out on 'networking' at lunch and no watching football beers must really help with my weight.

Who would have thought there were that many calories in beer...

I've not done any real exercise since I stopped playing rugby in early Jan so it does make the above very strange.

I've got my dumbbells down from the top room and are now in my office.  I think the next time any of you see me i'll be a different man...

Queuing for Waitrose

I had to queue to get into Waitrose this morning, it was one in one out as they were limiting the number of people in store at a time.

Thankfully they were were almost back up to normal stock levels, the photos below are when I last went (Saturday) and they were completely empty.

Josie is enjoying having us all at home
