Someone once linked me to a website where it dumps you into the map at some random place and you need to guess where you are by clicking on the map. It was really fun but I can't remember what it's called anymore 😞

Welcome to my real life experiences @ElephantOfRisk 🤣

ElephantOfRisk · 08/12/2021 00:03

ha ha ha. It was really good fun as you were on a timer for points and so you'd be racing about trying to find road signs or anything that might even give an idea of which country you were in. I'll need to try to find it again.

@shouldistop Scran is somewhere quite a few friends go to a lot. I've avoided town for a while.

Finished work for the week. I am exhausted today. Dh's call out phone woke me up at 6am.

titsintiers · 08/12/2021 06:54

Is a chilled day on the cards then @Groovee?

Rae36 · 08/12/2021 08:04

The map game is Geoguessr. Kept ds busy for most of lockdown when he should have been doing his schoolwork.

Dh is away in his office today which means I can have the heating on all day. I'm going for a meal with friends tonight then I'm avoiding indoor things till Christmas. So I'll be eating and drinking plenty tonight

GrouchyKiwi · 08/12/2021 08:30

I'm taking the children to a home ed hall meeting today. 4 hours of crafts and games and children being noisy. I didn't get to sleep till after 3 and saw pretty much every hour last night so today's going to be marvellous.

titsintiers Some of the comments on that post are hilarious. Poor Sharon.

WouldBeGood · 08/12/2021 09:06

@Rae36 I’m doing the same with indoor things except with DP and DCs. Not risking self isolating. Though acquaintances were a bit nippy with me for cancelling a meal out a week on 17th, but too close to Christmas. I hope you have a lovely time tonight.

@GrouchyKiwi oh, sympathy 🙈😃

Oh thank you, looking forward to a game of that again!

I want that for lunch. Shame we've not bread in. Or avocado.

I never fit in on mn. I have ketchup with French toast.

I have salt and pepper but as kids we had it with tinned spaghetti or hoops.

DH has sugar and took the boys to the dark side with him.

I like brown sauce with mine @ssd

I’ve never had fancy French toast like that, but always up for trying stuff.

Sweet French toast is the dark side @ElephantOfRisk

mapleleavesreturn · 08/12/2021 11:45

titsintiers love that burned cake meme - that woman lacks self awareness!

Ahh ketchup - my dd came home from school one day a few years back and said she'd had burger and chips for lunch, but no ketchup, as that's unhealthy Grin

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 08/12/2021 11:47

Oh I love French toast. Must be white bread though. HP at home, though bacon and maple syrup if out for brunch.

I too want French roast now. Altogether more healthy soup awaits me which isn't a bad think given our heating appears not to be working.

ElephantOfRisk · 08/12/2021 11:49

Well I'm being super healthy today. I just had a delivery from Iceland so I've popped some greggs sausage rolls in the oven for lunch.

Going out tonight into the weedge for a team meal out tonight too.

I have a lunch at a posh restaurant tomorrow with 9 of the ladies I do a Pilates with. It will be the first time we've seen each other in person since March 2020 Xmas Shock! Although we've been having a virtual coffee every week over Zoom after our Zoom Pilates class Smile

Everyone except me will be taking lateral flow tests before coming: I can't because I had Covid at the beginning of November.

WouldBeGood · 08/12/2021 11:54

I was trying to be healthy but went to DP’s house to do my work and he made me a roll with fiat sausage and I could not resist. Brown sauce on that too, of course.

Sounds nice @ElephantOfRisk! Hope you have a lovely evening

WouldBeGood · 08/12/2021 11:55

Have a good time too @prettybird

ElephantOfRisk · 08/12/2021 12:00

Sounds good pb.

I really can't be bothered with all the trains and hassle and it's cold, dark, wet etc.

But I haven't seen one colleague since summer 2018, and others since March 2020. The host is my ex boss who I haven't seen since summer 2019. That part I am looking forward to.

I'm with you @ssd, ketchup on French toast

TalkedTooMuchStayedTooLong · 08/12/2021 15:56

@ssd

French toast almost any which way is good with me... except the ketchup which I've never liked... spicy mayo on the other hand 😋... when I was wee my dad used to make cheese sandwiches, dip them in egg and fry them which were a firm favourite...
