Went for a 6 mile walk in the countryside. The woodland Bluebells looked beautiful.
However, although I'm now aching all over I STILL can't get to sleep

We have a couple of incredible Bluebell woods near where I live, they are beautiful. One of my favourite places in nature.

I made it to the bird of prey place. It's so nice tucked away behind a garden centre. Barely anyone here yet over 80 birds. The owner wandering about, lack of any commercialism. So nice and relaxed. Have stroked a tawny owl so far, gonna hang around for the afternoon owls I think.

So currently sitting eating my sarnies with a snowy owl on one side and a golden eagle hybrid on the other.

^ That's stupid. The dog is clearly a pure breed. You're meant to put a cross in the box.

Moaning, procrastinating, dodging the new guy at work to avoid awkward newbie small talk. Same old.

This is probably going to be my bank holiday weekend x10. Hope you managed to get it all done.

^ Oh don't. I had to hold onto a wee at the course this morning as I didn't want to get up in front of a roomful of strangers. 2 big glasses of water and a mug of tea! In the end peeing took preference over sa and I went, only to return to find they'd announced a break in my absense

#shit timing.

Got a wedding reception to go to in a couple of hours so am supposed to be getting ready for that.

Mo34 · #**188** 5th May 2019, 20:54

Went to visit my friend in Bognor this s'morning, didn't get home to well past 8pm. Sat on the seafront (bit brrr!) and had chips and an ice cream. Babysat whilst she had to go to a work meeting and played with the kids at hers afterwards. The eldest is never around but the 2nd eldest is exhausting! never stops, so it's a bit of a relief to come home. The twins who are 3 and 1/2 are adorable tho. The girl calls me Mooooooo (that's an exaggerated Mo not Moo!) no matter what and the boy calls me MoMo

which makes me smile. He's a real cutie.

Mo34 · #**189** 6th May 2019, 19:39

^ Out of interest. Do you have to have seen all the series of Line of duty to understand and appreciate the current series 5 episodes? Everyone keeps going on about it but i'm not sure I want to go all the way back to series 1.

I've never watched it.

Mo34 · #**190** 6th May 2019, 19:52

I think i'll give it a try. Least if I do like it I'll be in binge heaven with 5 series! lol.

Percy · #**191** 7th May 2019, 16:39

Reminiscing about the Fighting Fantasy game books we used to read/play as kids.

Mo34 · #**192** 8th May 2019, 20:43

Well it was pouring the s'morn but decided to go to Chichester for a wander. Ended up going round the Roman Palace in Fishbourne. Better than sitting in I guess. It was lovely and empty/quiet then some school groups arrived at which point I took my leave

Indigo_ · #**193** 27th May 2019, 14:43

^ Ooh I remember my mum used to make moussaka when I was little.

Pub Jo · #**194** 27th May 2019, 16:17

Took the dog for a long walk in the woods in surrey ,inspired by Moskha

.At the entrance on the gate post was a sign saying watch lost please ring this number if found but with no description.Its a premium part of surrey so we kept our eyes peeled for a rolex

.Got home knackered after coffee and cake at cafe Nero...just a random outing we all had a good laugh.

Mo34 · #**195** 27th May 2019, 17:49

Went to Petworth House again as it's easy on the bus route and there's only one route running on a Sunday/bank holiday. Plus I can get in for free

.
Didn't bother too much with the house - though had another look at some of the art collection, which is immense. The pleasure gardens were lovely though, worth going just for the walking. Last time it was bluebells and blossom this time many different coloured Rhododendrons and the like.

edbander · #**196** 15th July 2019, 20:13

a bit cute.

went for a cycle today, stopped next to a field with 2 horses who were standing in the shade. they were standing nose to tail, and using their tails to flicks flies off each other heads

Mo34 · #**197** 15th July 2019, 21:38

Volunteered at family centre. Apparently the baby/toddler group I've been a part of for the last 2? 3? years is ending (w.sussex county council cuts

) so not sure if i'll be carrying on volunteering there or not :/

Didn't want to go home (neighbour) so went walking.

Mo34 · #**198** 20th February 2020, 13:59

Had a nice morning despite the weather which is frigging awful.

Did my cats (minus bandit who was put to sleep at the weekend

) and have somehow ended up taking on the tortoises now M is no longer there. So I gave 4 tortoises, 1 of which is 100 years old, a bath

I strangely enjoyed it. Left them munching tomatoes.

Dougella · #**199** 20th February 2020, 14:20

^ Wow, a 100 year old tortoise! If only he/she could talk and tell you all about what they've seen

Mo34 · #**200** 20th February 2020, 17:45

^ I know!

Bullshitting some responses to my experiences at the uni thus far. A true response would be something like this:

Q1. How have you found the course so far?

70% of the lectures would have been more efficiently delivered in written form where there is less scope for long, irrelevant digressions, imprecision, repetition and inadequate referencing. See The Open University.

Instead I'm like, 'Oh it's great, hun. Don't take my scholarship away.'
