Morning, how're we doing.

I don't know if we can make the daily threads a regular (or perhaps even an automated) thing, but do drop in for a natter.

Oh thank goodness. /r/CasualUK is here too!

I've created an account on another instance too, because this community wouldn't show properly...

New to all this lemmy stuff!

I think once you've signed up and connected, you can see any ongoing posts but not previous posts.

Cannot wait to get home and take a walk to the pub and have a pint in the beer garden.

Hello to any fellow reddit refugees!

Evening! New to Lemmy, this week felt very long, probably be in bed in a minute.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that was 2 hours ago so welcome and good morning by the time you see this!

[–] amscan@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

You were correct! I had a lovely long sleep and now it's Saturday! Morning.

I have an unexpected WFH day today due to a face-to-face meeting being cancelled. Most of the day will probably be filled with emails and on-line meeting about the reason that the meeting was cancelled though.

Tonight we are evidently having falafel and then I will be putting the new hedge-trimmer to work over the weekend.

How is your weekend looking?

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I can only imagine the disappointment of escaping a meeting only for it to be replaced by a slightly different meeting. RIP.

Morning all!

I'm up about an hour earlier than usual for hay fever related reasons, so booo. But already did my morning exercise and now have a whole extra hour, so yay!

I'll probably fill it with work. Booo.

Mm, the hayfever suddenly hit me yesterday; and I was just thinking it had been a good year for it so far.

Tempted fate there.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm loaded up to the gills with fexofenadine which usually keeps it at bay, idk if you've tried it but it was a gamechanger for me compared to the other supermarket pills. There's just still the odd breakthrough day. Lucky it's Friday and I only have a half day (then I'm allowed to gamedev in the afternoon, woo!)

[–] sideone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My hay fever has been brutal this week.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got lucky with hayfever over the past few weeks but it feels like it's all caught up with me today!

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Curse you, nature! shakes fist

It is so nice today that I'm going to be WFG (working from garden). I hope my laptop doesn't overheat.

Anyone else planning the same?

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lucky you! I'm somehow WFCWEB (working from couch with electric blanket!)

Brr 🥶

[–] GreyShuck@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not quite there yet where I am, but I am certainly hoping to a bit later this summer from time to time. I have hopes of WFH (...From Hammock) at some stage, now that I have garden that is suitable.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh now that is the dream.

[–] andypiper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Working from car dealership (not for the first time) - and there are no power sockets to be seen, so I may just have to sit and "enjoy" the aircon.

You need a cigar lighter to USB-C adapter :-)
