  • Flu bad. Why come I remove gunk from my nose and then there's more gunk right away? I don't like it. Why come body go ouchie even though I'm giving it a rest today? Unfair.

    Also tissue and lozenge delivery should be on Medicare

    • I also remain bewildered and mortified by my body's ability to generate seemingly endless amounts of mucus out of nowhere. Flu sucks though. I hope you get well very soon...

  • I am ready to bathe myself in ice-cream. LOL.

    Man, it’s not like I haven’t ridden in this type of weather a lot, but I do not miss sweaty anything, let alone sweaty leathers.

    Edit: What sweet hell is this? I walked outside in shorts and a tee an hour later and it was 18! 18!

    Went inside to change, but still had ice-cream. ☺️

  • In a few weeks, I'll be staying at a hotel with a buffet breakfast included in the stay price. This hotel doesn't come cheap, so I feel it's my duty to squeeze every bit of value out of the price.

    Is it wrong if I take a few items away from the buffet for later enjoyment? I won't be obvious about it - the take away items will be hidden in a tote bag I'll bring in with me. Easy things to take away - some pastries, fruit, not hot food. I've never done this before, but planning how to get away with it has been exciting.

    • I 'stole' a croissant once from a buffet at a 5 star in Indo.

      Then the next day stole a spring roll.

      I self flagellated for weeks after that.

    • You paid for it so take it.

      When I used to travel for work, I'd grab fruit from the breakfast buffet to take with me for the day. Bananas, kiwis apples ..whatever whatever wasn't cut was fair game

    • I reckon you wouldn't be the first person to over load their plate and then decide to take some for Ron.

  • Always a bit of interesting one when you hear of the death of somebody you dislike

    • A former bully colleague died earlier this year. Massive stroke. The feelings it evoked in me were weird. She had 'retired' 10 years earlier and I didn't realise how much of it I still held onto.

  • I seem to be allergic to Carlton :-(

    Waiting while my kid is in an appointment, and so far I’ve got tree fluff in both my eyes and have breathed it in, too

    coff coff sneeze

    E: the icecream was delicious, but

    • Plane tree flowers (currently blooming) was what we kids used to use as itching powder on other kids that tormented us. So I'm not all that surprised that the air is full of itchies at the moment. Have been sneezing a lot myself. Not cold/flu related.

  • Woke up at 5am. All the alcohol has messed with my body clock a bit I think.

    Got a small sniffle and I hope it's just allergies.
