Deceptive Note
Authored
- Voted, and hey, the candidate I voted for won it!
- Picture a zombie. What do you see? Grey skin, bags under the eyes, wheezing and groaning, maybe drool, perhaps it’s running toward you. Well, I must have caused a fright this week on my first run in a month. It’s likely no coincidence that I haven’t slept well in a couple of weeks either and, although you can’t tell through the webcam, I am an absolute zombie friend. Feed me brains.
- R doesn’t think we’re ready to mingle our ashes upon death. The last line of intimacy.
- Have you seen Snackmasters? It has two chefs compete to recreate a brand-name food and is a lot of fun. You get to see inside the factory with Jayde Adams, who is excellent and, unlike Gregg Wallace, appropriately enthusiastic. I rediscovered the joy of Shredded wheat, the big Shredded wheat, but I'm not comfortable giving Nestlé my custom so that's enough of that. Does anyone recommend an off-brand alternative? The little ones aren't the same!
- In other exciting news our windows have been cleaned. They're looking so, so much better. The outside is 3D now. We hired someone as I didn't fancy acquiring a ladder and then going up it, but otherwise would have liked to do them myself. I know the technique because I cleaned windows for a little while as a young'un to save up for my first laptop (that worked out pretty well for me).
- We spotted a majestic owl on the way home from an IKEA trip! We stared and stared and told the bus driver who was also quite excited to catch a glimpse. Anyhow when we were home we started to have our doubts and it turns out it's a fake owl, presumably a Sheffield Wednesday mascot. We did think it was quite still! Probably I shouldn't have posted so hastily for identification in the "#wfh-birdfeeders" Slack channel at work. I don't need so many photos of a fake owl, either (🤣😭😳)
Yours foolishly,
