all puff ball mushrooms are edible 

tomorrow is Christmas eve and I am off work !

I slept bad, struggling with MGG having gone awol and being single for so long.

I had a lie in for a bit.

I got some new running shoes.

I'm keeping my head above water but I'm getting tired from all the work it takes to keep it there.

I took it to a repair shop, and they said that it wouldn't charge; even with a normal charger.

I decided to leave it at that, format the computer and dispose of it in due course.

Thanks for the offer, however.

OMG ,,,,,, yes have a lie in  

I've discovered lie-ins. They're nice. I go back to sleep, doze, daydream, process stuff. I think they do me good. I'm going to move my Saturday morning run to the afternoon so I can have one a week.

I had a great lie in yesterday til twelve. Today I had one til about ten.

I'm going to buy some novels so that I can avoid reading the papers during them!

working today just found 2 small bugs in some software

noooooooooooooooo!

Feeling a little queasy this morning.  I cooked up some chicken and chorizo pasta yesterday, which was going great until I added creme fraiche.  The creme fraiche was well enough in date so I threw it in without even thinking, but after a taste test discovered it was just a little too tangy for my liking, prompting me to have a little sniff in the tub which confirmed my suspicions.

OFC I wasn't about to waste a few quid worth of ingredients (cooking a batch for the freezer) over some very slightly rancid creme fraiche so I ate a serving, but it was mildly unpleasant to say the least.  I ended up picked out all the chicken for the dogs, then tossed the rest.  Next time I'll use some boursin instead, reckon I'm done with creme fraiche lol.

My new phone came today. Unlocked; thank God. And I have my apps back in play.

Yesterday, I had the runs. Last night, I had to unblock the sewage myself. Then, the delivery man came with repeat medication. Nightmare!

I also resumed an online subscription of Slimming World.

did some last minute shopping

quite hard to work today nearly everyone is gone off already. getting a sofa delivered today if they can get up my hill !

I took a 'Day Off' to rest. But I converted my leftover Euro to pounds at the Credit Union, and posted an arm bracelet with a bee on it to my friend from Toronto. It was given to me yesterday evening by the Slimming World instructor.

I have the passwords I need saved onto my phone. All I need now is to format my Mac.

Lockdown, throughout January, planned for Northern Ireland. I requested a cancellation of my week's break at a Hostel in Belfast. They'll refund me tomorrow. I'll use that money to buy a new phone from the Giffgaff site. I have new sims from them, and will sim-swap once I get the phone.

finished work for today.played computer at chess to wind down    ......it won 3 - 0 

I'm on season 2 of Star Trek Discovery on Netflix. I highly recommend it to Sci-Fi fans.

moving in the right direction 

Stressful day.

However, I have some good news. Three pounds off this week, at Slimming World.

completed another days work   and 30min meditation

still working 

Got a shave at Clonoe Barbershop this morning, then ran a few MS Office errands at Coalisland Library.

This evening, I will get my toenails clipped at half six at a private foot clinic, then attend a Zoom Carol Service for WAVE in Omagh at seven.
