📚 The Sotonians Lockdown & Beyond Diaries

Gingora has just accosted me in the kitchen, complaining about around “half a glass of Baileys” spilt on a sheet.

I simply remarked “Sorry, that’s pissed me you need to talk to”.

Hopefully she’ll go out on a spirits run. No sense of that so far.

I hope you’ve remembered that it’s Valentines day? :thinking::smile::smile:

I did, and I was supposed to do something special this year, but I didn’t, for no other reason than I can’t believe everyone’s Valentine’s present isn’t “living with their beloved bastards 24/7 for a year and not killing them”.

That goes both ways, of course.

Are you sure it was Baileys??

Yeah, she got me a litre bottle, already on discount, with lastborn’s TESCO discount applied thereafter.

Mate, I should point out that if your shit looks like Baileys, you’re either a newborn or have done several days on festival food.

Me and my missus had been going out for about 4 months when our first Feb 14th rolled around, I dodged it with the reasoning that romance should be genuine and heartfelt, not according to a pre-determined schedule. That was 4 years ago, I still stand by my convictions, we are still together, and more importantly I am still alive :lou_lol:

I had my worst ever date on a Valentine’s day many years ago.

How many years did you do?

That was the last ever date with that young woman. I started going out with Mrs Waylander a week later.

MIGHT have a trip to the Mountains next week. And not for work.
My goodness, how amazing it is to have something possibly interesting to look forward to!
This weeks’ excitement is looking forward to a trip to Immigration this week to sign all the new documents needed now I am not an EU Citizen (without affecting my residency status, just get filed into a different DBase obviously)

Ahead of an anticipated surge in demand for holidays once the vaccine roll out is completed, Ryanair have just gained regulatory approval for their new “no mask required” class

Blimey. Not like them to increase legroom. Are those passengers paying extra for that?

A few days ago.

My car won’t start.

“Battery”.

Is it the starting motor?

“Battery”.

I’ve tried jump-starting it with our daughter’s feeble 1.0 litre and it doesn’t work. It must be the starting motor.

“Battery”

Can you use your roadside assistance to get someone out and take a look?

A day later, RAC man arrives.

Yeah, it’s your battery, mate.
