Good evening Blueskies! Had a good day. Ambled in the sunshine, started with a fleece, ended in shirt sleeve order. Lads’ night in tonight, we’re having a movie night watching #ColdStorage

Well that was quite the gig: Jeanie and the White Boys followed by the inestimable Panic Shack. Happy to report we have a new morning amble sweatshirt due to the unavailability of large t-shirts at the merch stand. YD bought some knickers.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and drizzly in the Vale today; combination of furniture collection and work faff today, with an amble thrown in and some live music later… it’s a life: let’s Friday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Went, rather pointlessly as it turned out, to the anxiety inducing office: it induced anxiety so left asap; had a carpet fitted and thus far have not spilt anything on it; had an evening amble beneath passably #InterestingSkies, and no rain…

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Meetings and such, pointless and perplexing, but folk seem to like them, so we carry on. Also, cleared a room and took a carpet and stuff to the tip, and managed an evening amble as well. Busy, like we said. There was almost sunshine and cat fren.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey, damp, dull but quite warm in the Vale today; meant to be fairing up later, but currently have a damp dog on our toes at our desk… faff incoming and really not in the mood today… let’s Wednesday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Won’t bore you, but meetings were met and sheets were spread. Autocarrot changed sheets to sherrys there. Most fun we’ve had today apart from ambling and gardening. But mainly ambling. It was sunny, but not as warm as we may have thought.

A reminder that all the aspects of our economic system are made up and we can have a better system if we wanted to. Homelessness for example. We could have an economy that builds homes for homeless people. It does not have to be this way.

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. YD’s car needed brakes, so not a cheap one either. More meetings including one as chair, ffs; high point of the day was watch saying “it looks like you are having an outdoor run” while walking back from the garage. Our evening amble was more sedate: we had sunshine
