How was your day? (Random off topic chat)

So. How exactly do you spell June oop there in Sheffpuddle then?😖🧐

..and doesn't it also float???. You've been taken for a fool man!!

A Lancaster @tallpaul you lucky thing

Done not a thing all day except eat, write, eat, write. Eat. Write. Admire those battling away with Henry IV tonight at the Globe, as well as those braving Englebert Humperdinck at Regents Park. A plague upon this howling!

Having never managed to see a Las Vegas show and being a big fan of Celine Dion I am beyond excited to be watching a full recording of her set from a few days ago. The wonders of YT. This is after watching Spice Girls concert similarly. and before I travel to London and the Cadogan Hall for Clockmaker's Daughter this evening.

About as good as a Father's Day gets.

I hate confrontations and this is an example of why.

We were celebrating a special occasion and had a table in fancy-ish place. The guest of honour is quite fragile and we were having to work hard to make it special. Some people were sat across the room from us waiting for another event. A woman who was waiting for that event, came and sat on the cushioned banquette at our table, checking her phone, etc. Finally the food was going to be served and I was getting looks from the others in our group in a 'Who's our new friend?' way, so I finally said to her 'We're going to be eating now, so it feels strange with you here, would you mind sitting in the waiting area?' She stood up and said 'f*** you.' After she walked away she stared at me angrily for a bit before they all trooped off to whatever they were doing.

So that was fun. Not. It was a lose-lose situation - if I didn't say anything I'd have felt like a loser but having said something I felt miserable.

That is unbelievably awful behaviour. Did you speak to the venue staff about it?

Someone bought a box of chocolates for myself and colleague for doing a favour for them a few weeks ago. My colleague put them in a cupboard for later. I completely forgot about them until today when the person who gave them mentioned them. When he had gone I said "oh I forgot about them, I've not had one" she was then very shifty and said that they had gone and thought someone had taken them. I said that was theft to take from our office and that I was really angry. She is the kind of person who would normally be up in arms about it but was very casual about the whole thing.
I'm convinced now that she took the whole box home.
Hope she enjoys them!!!!

Gone to download e ticket onto phone for theatre tomorrow and realise I can't because for some reason if I try and access outlook it now says can't open folder as it's already created. So my triumph at joining the tech savvy and not being for forced to use a paper copy was short lived.

Got carried away as it was sunny and went out leaving a window open, now I'm back and the insect population seems to have moved in and I'm hiding under the duvet from a daddylonglegs.

I swear, I'm going to find the control panel where that announcement emanates from and bash it to pieces with a fire extinguisher. Look out for me on the evening news.

When I was moaning about hating the heat recently a colleague recommended moving to the Faroe Islands. Apparently even in June they're pretty cool. I've just looked up the fauna & there's no mention of mosquitos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna_of_the_Faroe_Islands The only problem is there's no mention of the islands having much by way of theatre either.
