Just checking in, how is everyone?

Grumpy.....The telephone scammers, must have been furloughed for the past few months.....they've just started up again.
Three so far today.

Cheers - Phil

I'm fine. thank you for asking.

I think I may have to go back to the office this week, but there's not a huge imperative. I thank Milady's Rosiest Cheek* that I have a hobby that is so absorbing, yet allows me to stay at home. Extrovert acquaintances are chewing the curtains and desperate to join a throng - any throng. I am doubly blessed by Milady's Opulent Bounty** in that my job allows me to work from home with almost no problems. I should also give praise to Milady's Mastery*** of Scrabble and other Word Games for this Forum as an outlet for whatever small desire I have to communicate with others of my ilk.****

I can always while away the time phoning Techno and telling him that I am from his bank and he needs to give me his account number and pass code before thieves steal everything.  

Good of you to ask, Lemmey. How's everything with you?

Thanks for asking!

Your Facebook posts are a constant source of entertainment, Mr. Lemmy.
I do plan to go to the barber come July for an estimate.

Hope others are well and as sane as their disposition allows.

Bit bored, technically working from home, but there's not that much to do (which is a bit worrying). Missing the office environment, if not the commute.

Not much hobby-ing going on - can't seem to get myself motivated to do owt.

Bought myself a father's day treat off of ebay - an old Hornby steam engine that I wanted to get ~25 years ago. Now I can afford it, but currently have no where to run it. I can just look at if for now.

Hope everyone's okay.

I let my wife cut my hair and beard at the weekend. She did a good job, much cooler now without the equivalent of a medium sized dog covering my face and head.

That is a suitably epic beard though and should not be touched by a razor!

A razor would have NO effect !

Hey, d_Guy, I hear Marvel are looking for someone to play Odin in the next Thor film.

They need to be mature, to look good in a beard, have gravitas and a commanding presence. They need to be charismatic and exude an animal charm. Women need to see them as dangerous but are inevitably drawn to them.




Do you think Gerard Butler would be interested?

Ah - fsn - it's like the old days. 

Incidentally - I think I have a gravitas down in the shed. The bell still works - maybe.

mmcv - I would become nervous if my wife approached with a sharp implement.

I may keep it since Leon had offered a prize for the longest covid beard - or did I dream it?

I am back to using dash punctuation which is like catnip for Fierce Kitty.

The "I" pronoun lifts my spirits.

Trimmed my hair this afternoon with electric clippers - all going well until I accidentally detached the widget that sets the length.

Now have a small bald patch at the base of my skull.

Doh!

Just letting mine grow - almost shoulder length.

No one sees it, so what does it matter? At least I'm still showering and shaving - not quite given up yet!

LOL!
I'm all good, just checking in as I know some people are back to work, others part time, others at home working and others still at a loose end!

Still very busy working from home - it did settle down to fairly normal for a couple of weeks - but has got back to being very busy again.

Generally we are spending more time together as a family, as we are all in the same place, not travelling to and fro all over the place. I'm certainly not missing travelling places.

Went out for a cycle ride 7:30ish this morning, and was surprised at just how busy it was (mainly traffic). I much preferred the quietness of lockdown.

Heard an aeroplane fly over yesterday, which was quite surprising.
