Yeah, @WaxOnFeckOff I know, and I’m normally pretty positive, but just so scunnered

I took my tiny dog for a big walk and now debating whether to go up to Braehead to collect my new tent, or if it will be too busy!

I’m trying to be wholesome, in the face of adversity

If you are just getting it from Decathlon it shouldn't be too busy

Groovee · 26/04/2021 17:08

We're short staffed again and I stupidly agreed to work Thursday. 😭😭

Mistressinthetulips · 26/04/2021 17:54

I love hearing about tents so do describe it when you get it!

WouldBeGood · 26/04/2021 18:23

@Mistressinthetulips it’s this tent accessorised with this handy shelter for cooking

Interesting!

Had a lovely sunny day yesterday, I see normal weather service has resumed!

Mistressinthetulips · 26/04/2021 18:41

Oh that's a fancy tent, very nice Smile
I wish you luck with the refolding though, that can be the hard part! Grin

WouldBeGood · 26/04/2021 18:47

Yes, @Mistressinthetulips... I previously resorted to bundling a one man tent into the car as it was... 😳

It was more the fact the dad made a big thing of the child facing the opposite way than him actually doing it. Was bit strange!

First day back at work and I’m shattered, we didn’t even do that much but guess just being out the house for a full day!

The last time I camped It was so cold I had to go and buy more jumpers to sleep in. This was in another country where it shouldn’t have been that cold. It got hot again in the last day!

Icannever · 26/04/2021 21:35

@WouldBeGood you’ve got to start that Instagram page 😀

WouldBeGood · 26/04/2021 21:40

@Icannever 😂 it was funny.. it was a tiny bright pink tent. I was struggling to control it and a woman told me I was scaring her horses 😳

More fun awaits... I can share my frozen rose breakfast tips too

We have a pop up tent for the beach for changing in and I’ve never once managed to get it folded up.

WouldBeGood · 26/04/2021 21:53

@Icannever I’ll do a demonstration on my insta 😂

littlbrowndog · 27/04/2021 08:48

Tic Toc it for us 😂

WouldBeGood · 27/04/2021 08:59

Good plan @Icannever! DS will love it if I get on the TikTok too 😂😂

Especially if I wear the leopard rain cape - it’s so gigantic that even with my huge fatness i could probably fit the tent and shelter under it

Western Isles now offering vaccine to anyone aged 18 and over, they are so far ahead of central belt!

This is only a partial rail, but it's self-centred Grin. The Scottish case numbers today are the best they've been by a country mile but numbers in East Dunbartonshire, where I live are going up. I know they're still tiny numbers but I'm ashamed to admit it unsettles me, especially as I'm back face to face with school age children. One at a time , socially distanced blah blah but my intentions to make the most of the easing of restrictions is clouded by this.

One of my pupils was sent home as a close contact of a classmate. Ugh. Seems never endi.

(D'you see what I did there?)

Best of luck to the campers.

Thanks to Scottishskifun - I really hope your long haul of recovery speeds up very soon.

WouldBeGood · 27/04/2021 16:30

@mibbelucieachwell oh no..try not to worry. Even in your circumstances you’re really unlikely to be infected, even if the pupil tests positive. But sometimes it’s just stressful, even if you know that logically.

mibbelucieachwell · 27/04/2021 16:46

I know. Thank you. I really feel for anxious people who have to work in close proximity to lots of people. I'm lucky to have a good sized room that opens almost off the front door of the house and I leave a gap between pupils. And I've had a vaccine. When I go to their homes I'm only in for 30 minutes (usually getting chilly beside a window and blaming any wrong notes I play on cold hands Grin)

Groovee · 27/04/2021 18:00

Mr G saw the consultant today. Provisional date for gall bladder to leave is a month away.

Hospital was really busy today and some eejits not giving space x

Lockdownbear · 27/04/2021 19:37

Just catching up. Groovee good news on MrG he's certainly been put through the wringer. I think people are thinking they are invincible and forgetting others haven't been vaccinated.

Runningpink that guy in the park is bonkers if I was that worried I wouldn't be in a park in the first place touching stuff that's never been cleaned.

Wouldbegood your tent looks lovely.
I'm still on the hunt for new SIMs can't decide what I want. The compromise between comfort and the space they take up in the car.

Finding the lack of vaccine progress depressing. England are calling I think it was 43 year olds to get theirs.

Brilliant! I have family there.

Driving into work ,quite happy after a good sleep ,looking forward to meeting a friend for lunch and then ............. heard John Swinney on the radio, trying to justify the state of the education system after 14 years of SNP control. Unbelievable,to be fair he didn't sound like he believed himself. Fucker

WouldBeGood · 28/04/2021 11:08

There’s probably scope for a whole thread on railing against John Swinney @user1487194234 😂😂

Hex really lacks any insight!
