Good luck! Maybe do some lighter rolling. Don't make it worse.

A roofer I know has just fixed a broken slate and didn't charge me.

Life is good.

Had our Christmas lunch for my office today - not the company wide one but just our satellite lab and regular visitors. 19 people, we only have 18 chairs

Nice day though, flipping knackered now.

I can now pack everything I own into a two large holdalls and a backpack. It took a long time to get to this point but I like it

Daughter logged into the 4yr old grandsons school website (parents area) to see how he’d been doing. They’d been learning about super heroes, real life and pretend.

His pretend Super hero was captain America because he has a shield. His real life super hero is pappy because he sings silly songs and makes me laugh.

Was a genuine lump in the throat moment

Been poorly. Boy updated his Christmas list.

Just attended my youngest daughters graduation ceremony. She collected 2 STEM degrees and gave the thanks speech on behalf of all the students. A pleasant evening.

Just getting ready to leave the home to see my grandsons first nativity play, he is the inn keeper. I have been trying to persuade him all month that when Joseph asks if there is any room, can we come in, to reply "what's the password"

1)After waiting 8 months, work finally starts on our extension this week which is very exciting, but quite nervous at the same time.
2) back in work after my paternity leave and it feels so bloody good to be back, missed the job.
3) started rebuilding and getting parts for the superbike, really looking forward to another season of racing. Although the plan is to do a few more endurance events next year.

Overall, a lot to be happy about.

CT scan remains clear of any signs of cancer (for ref. had kidney removed due to stage 3 renal cancer back in January).

Stage 3? Pfft! .
Mine was stage 4. right Kidney yoinked out and metastatic spread to the lungs. 3 years ago. Still going strong and clear.

Working my last week until new year now.
Next year will be difficult as I am leaving a job I used to really like at end of Feb (currently hate it), and nothing lined up yet.

Hopefully it will workout to a month or so off from March and then back into employ from April-May time.
Always a tricky one to time ofc so will probably end up as no time off, or too many months...

Yay.

I got a small payrise.
But wasn't expecting anything at all.

Boo it's pay above above the 50k threshold so it's only worth 200 a month after tax.

But not complaining!

Haven't been at a job where you just get a payrise for a while.


Oh. We all get 750 from the ni cut too next year (annually) if you're above 50k as well.

Nice!
