well, I am not sure. We broke up, got back together, decided to take things slowly, decided to be just friends, back together....

I have no idea where we are :confused:

Glad to hear it's not 100% over anyway. Hope you can make a go of it.
 
Had to pop out for a set pf allen keys on account of the ONE I need for the bridge is the only one missing from my big set.

Nipped into one of my locals to see how they're working things. Had a lovely refreshing lager beer and it was nice to see the staff but I think it's going to be a while until I'm making a point of going out for a drink.

Hmmmm schools up here might actually be going back as normal in August.

Don't know how it is there, but here the evaluation showed that closing the schools was completely ineffective and had pretty much no impact on the spread of the virus. If a second wave hits they most likely won't close the schools, just pull out teachers in risk groups.
 
I can believe that. Ours has the unique situation that a lot of our kids are shielding and are already very unwell so there's a lot of anxiety around that.

I've said from day 1 if we could crack on as normal in August that would be ideal.

announcement at the end of the month.

Yeah the evaluation was aimed at general schools, I think with schools like yours they'll keep looking at stuff case-by-case.

Kids are starting back a day or 2 early here to. I don't know why, all it's doing is fucking up our inset days to prep for them :shrug:

Is it possibly an attempt to align all the school calendars across Scotland? It's a bit of a pain that they're out of sync.

I don't think so, I have a friend in South Ayrshire that had a really weird calendar in the run up to the holidays.

I think they're going to let each council decide how we get back days we're owed too.

Formal announcement from Swinney next week laying out what's going to happen.
 
Been productive today - I usually leave that shit until the start of August but I've got a feeling come this announcement next week the rest of my holidays are going to get sucked up so might as well crack on.

Last big lockdown job is squaring up the garden. Nothing major, just a good bit of weeding, cut back the hedges at our rear fence and spray said fence. Had to saw apart my old hammock stand which was quite a sad moment but it takes up half the space left after the tub deck is taken into account and it was rarely used the past few years so off to the skip it goes.

My mad elderly neighbours really ramped up the screaming at each other to the point I was very close to going over and asking if everything was OK aka, we can all hear you, stfu but thought better of it.
 
I had a productive day as well. Well, productive as in got up late, went out for a cycle ( 21miles) and had a band rehearsal.

i am half-deaf now and both my legs are cramping up
 
If you've not seen it yet, I'm watching a thing on the iPlayer about Rockfield Studios.

The audio is shocking - too loud on the music and too quiet on the talking heads but it's pretty interesting.
 
Went into town to meet a friend for dinner tonight before he heads back to Jakarta.


Dozen-ish neds on the train platform calling me baldy just under their breath amongst themselves as we got to the platform - I give them the benefit of the doubt as I may have misheard and Mrs JBJ is with me.

I'm bald, I shave my head bald, I'm happy bald, I'm wearing a black leather jacket, I'm not a dick head.

One gets extra brave as I pass by: "are you in EastEnders big man?"

My response: "fuck up you little prick before I drop you"

Arses caved en masse. Makes you wonder how many people don't answer these types of shitehawk back because they had nothing....

We got on the train and they made a point of egging each other on into our carriage and up to where me and Mrs JBJ were sitting with the odd muffled "call him baldy again"

Jacket off, glasses off, got myself in a position ready to get up and go if any of them took a swing: "do we have a problem here?"

*Lots of looking at each other not knowing what to do*

Again "do we have a problem here because I'll batter every one of you if you get any nearer to me'

Down the carriage they went like good little boys (I would have smashed them) got off the next stop not one daring to look our way.

Mrs JBJ didn't even bat an eyelid which suggests I was clearly in the right.
 
In fact now I think about it. In adulthood I've had more altercations on public transport than in a pub or club :shrug:
