sidcow Posted January 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yeah, I was just thinking that I've got to set the alarm tonight. I'll be sat at the dining room table whilst my wife who has tomorrow off will be dismantling Christmas around me. Most of the people in our road have taken down the lights etc today so the world has gone back to beige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2021 I often miss off the letter "o" from Hello at the start of e-mails so they often read "Hell Dan" or "Hell Gina" like I'm some overconfident American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its been strange in 2020 but Christmas is still Christmas and that means shorter work days and weeks. Plus I had a lot of time off from mid November, so the last 6 weeks or so have been nice. That is over now though. The thought of a five day week and impending tougher lockdowns makes me feel lower than a snakes belly. There is literally nothing to look forward to. Cheer up @Xela. We're on the final straight now. 2nd Vaccine starts getting into People's arms tomorrow morning. We really are on the cusp of the end of lockdown now, just such a shame it's taken a turn for the worse before the end. I'm certain you will be at Wembley in June. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it won't be as bad as you fear. Just do the siege mentality thing and get through it all pragmatic like. I find the routine of January can sometimes be a relief after the ridiculous excesses and randomness of Christmas (and don't get me wrong, I **** love Christmas). Certainly to my body it can be a huge relief Chin up mucker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is - I hate winter too - November to march basically, but especially December and Jan/Feb. But I always look forward to Spring and lighter days and warmer weather. This year there's the extra hope of looking forward to the fungus vaccine and some kind of easing of all the sh*te. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I had a nice bland lunch - can't get away with eating half a box of Milk Tray for lunch in January! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no intention of doing 'dry January', but I usually find I just naturally drink less in the first few weeks of the new year, and it feels quite pleasant. Don't miss office work, mind.

I need to proofread for typos that are valid spellings anyway. It might save you from "thnaks", but it'll let "kind retards" sail right on through. I have spelled accounts wrong too many times, in Skype/Teams chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
