Welcome to a brand new week, and welcome to all Reddit refugees.
What’s everyone up to this week? Looks like it’s going to be a rainy one so at least the gardens will be happy.
I’m of that age where it seems a lot of people I know are dying. So I made a decision last week to try and improve my quality of life and applied to reduce my working hours. Application approved and actioned within two days so today… I had the first of my non-working days.
Still need to figure out how best to use this time. Had a nice walk today, that’s a fair start. Rest of the week will be work as normal.
That’s amazing! Well done for going through with it and kudos to your workplace. I’m sure it’ll be weird at first but let us know how it goes!
There might be a few charities around you which do coffee meetups, organised walks, gardening together, etc. I heard u3a is good for trying or learning random different things. You could even go for long weekends to different parts of the UK or Europe to see lots of new places. You could do charity work.
About to make a 6h drive to the lake district for the week with a friend, should be fun! I have my rain coat lol.
The Lake District is like Skye though, it can be pissing down and it’s still gorgeous
I’m currently packing for a trip to Montreal tomorrow.
This “morning chat” post went up 5 hours ago. I finally dragged myself out of bed half an hour ago. This says it all about how my week has started off.
On the bright side, accidentally getting eleven hours straight sleep has done wonders for my energy levels. Feeling ready to punch the rest of the day right in the face!
I can’t remember the last time I slept eleven hours in a row, you must feel amazing. I actually waited an hour before posting this thread as I was too busy trying to get child #2 to sleep at just after 5am (and watching Agents of Shield)
Morning everyone. Reddit refugee here and what better way to make my first post of Lemmy than here!
I’m using wefwef and it kind of feels like a home from home already.
Looking forward to helping make this place a great community
Three cheers for wefwef! 🎉
It’s a suitable stand-in for me until Boost for Lemmy is available. Boost, for me was reddit.
Off to a festival this week so it’s the one time I’d rather it not bloody rain!
Dropped the car off for an oil change (when did they get so expensive?) and getting a nice 15 minute walk from the garage to work. A bit chilly though, which was unexpected.
My wrist continues to be painful after a week so going to try to get to the minor injuries unit tonight.
Not as much rain as I’d hoped here. Had quite a gentle return to work so far and managed to do a lot of laundry!
Nerding out and testing my own private Lemmy instance. First impressions: quite a lot of effort, no huge benefits as yet.
Seems to be working ok but need more time to federate properly. Will try some more tomorrow!
Happy Monday folks!
Got up today and could not be arsed so stuck in 3 days holiday. I just can’t stop thinking about the new Dungeon Crawler Carl book that’s getting delivered today. Can’t fucking wait!
Normal week for me. Nothing special, got some work experience kids in this afternoon so will see how that goes.
Luckily it’s quite sunny here so can keep justifying shorts to the office!
New client day! So I’m off to their office to pick up a laptop, password, ID, time sheets, etc.
Commuting is, thankfully, a one-time thing.
I appreciate the lemmings
Just peeked a look at the forecast myself: rain for two weeks.
I’m in the general area of Manchester, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but it’s July for cryin’ out loud. Where’d my summer go.
I live in Liverpool but I’m down south at my mum’s, and it’s not much better here. Feels chilly in the mornings. I was down on the South coast at the weekend and it was much better there, they really do get all the good weather compared to the rest of the country. It’s just a shame it’s full of boring people.
I think I’m going to need a double espresso or two
