Random Irritations

Tey and remember, if you’re the main wage earner, a dull job is infinitely better than no job.

It's the time of year, the weather has been shocking. Hopefully, warmer days lie ahead.

I'm not...working on being a kept man one day

I'm so bored. Work is just dull and has never once stimulated me mentally, just something I have to do. Can't do much out of the house other than running because the weather is so bad, summer holiday is miles off. Just doomscrolling the same 3 or 4 apps day after day.

I would agree with this and I do not work.
Went out for a longish (for me ) walk yesterday and ended up feeling it due to unacustomed exercise.

Funnily enough, I have always been the main wage earner, through circumstances and necessity. My wife is 60 this month so her occupational pensions kick in and associated lump sums pay out.

We're getting our roof replaced next month, and she pipes up, "I'm paying for the roof, you've been paying for everything." Crikey, it's like getting a pay rise!

Until she throws in the line, "whilst you're living under my roof (literally), you'll do as you're told."

The kids get all the treats I used to get before we were married now though

Not sure where to put this and it wouldn’t be on my radar as it’s not my cup of tea but I know there are quite a few who have and said they would holiday there - just a heads up.

Financial fraud is the one that stands out to me. Highly technical, very dull. Beyond most people, I'm including myself in this. Having a specialist jury in this field makes sense to me.

Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you?
Did she die in vain?

My understanding was about what they were actually charge with, with premeditation coming in to the argument and the not guilty verdict. I think I heard something about the guards over reacting in the first place and a plea of self defence being made.

If a child if mine went to a protest armed with a sledgehammer as a means of destruction (and used it on a person, animal or property), they'd fear my wife and I more than the law.

Im going there at the end of May, though this time Sal (posisbly where the epicentre is) where in the past its been Boa Vista.
It is what it is. It's a third world country and I understand there got hit by a hurricane last year.
Im sure by the time we go things will have been sorted a lot more, but in anycase acohol sanitiser and wipes will be taken and used, just like my post Covid eating protocol now.
