Heard today that unfortunately, one of the colleagues who was made redundant after the outsourcing, passed away way too young at 61, brain
haemorrhage.
Rather upset about it, she was a sweetheart.

Cremation is today. I can't make it, I have to work, but some of my colleagues are going.

My niece and her partner both had it, but they are both vaccinated and didn't get very ill at all. They're assuming their son had it because he was
sick for a while around the same time, but wouldn't allow them to do the test properly. He is five and a half and not vaccinated, but didn't get very
sick.
So Pandemic is a board game you can play on your own?
Sorry to hear about your colleague - a bit of a shock at that age.

Well, I'd made a nice little guide on how to play Pandemic, but it has disappeared 
So for the rules I'll refer you to:
https://www.ultraboardgames.com/pandemic/game-rules.php
The game is a co-op game that is advertised for 4, but you can just assume all characters and play on your own. The board came is a massive challenge,
I only beat it half the time on introductory mode.

I bought Diplomacy a few days ago - it has some aficionadoes on the Cluedo forum I moderate - but I don't understand a word of it!
Been battling an annoying eyelid infection for a few days, it's rather painful.

Annoying eyelid infections should be banned. All the best with that, Bonny!

Poly, my father asks how you are doing with the floods.
(He also calls you Mr Bicycle - like me he has next to no memory for names and the brand of his bicycle has the same name as your last name  and then he can't remember the name of his bicycle brand  )

Domme is out, so no holiday in France this year.
Kinda expected it, but sooner for a different reason.

The floods are in the east of Australia. We’re in the south. Thank your father for asking. We’re in the middle of a low thirties heat wave and
it’s early autumn here.

Good to hear Poly!
I'm back from visiting my BF! It was good fun, we played games, watched videos and went on walks and cycling trips.

My youngest son (26) has just had Covid. It was like having a cold and he’s feeling better now with still a bit of a cough. He doesn’t live with
us anymore, but I had to isolate for a week as a close contact after picking him up from the airport.
It’s good to hear that you’ve been able to visit BF again.

Today I had the expected phone call that I won't be moving to home owner service this April - the move that was supposed to happen in January - is
again postponed for an indefinite period.
The vendor people are just not good enough.

Did I miss something earlier? Have you been offered some kind of promotion?

A sort of promotion (CS would consider home owner service as the cushier version of their job) but it was always to the same salary, with the upside
that you wouldn't have to work evenings or weekends.
I signed a contract for it as well, but they won't let me go now since they need me too much. Because the idjits in charge think that they can
outsource Dutch to a cheaper country - guess what, Dutch is not a language spoken worldwide.

Today on my outing, as I left a highly forested area, I saw something brown moving slowly down a tree. It looked a bit like a rat, but upon closer
inspection it was a squirrel... carrying a baby squirrel around her neck. It was entirely wrapped around her neck like a fur collar.
I swear it's the best thing I've seen all year, maybe even better than anything that happened in 2021. <3
