You’ll never guess where I still am! For those thinking insane asylum.. I am getting a little cabin feverish…so there is time for that. Still at the boiling hot/freezing cold stage… on a positive note I have probably dropped a few kg’s in weight.
It is bad when even watching YouTube is too tiring…. anyway here is a post from last year, the French cavalry were on the move…https://bogenwald.blog/2020/12/08/further-fun-with-stls/
Will this thing just bloody end. Still in bed. I haven’t even been able to look at pictures of toys, so for Christmas this year I am going to just ask for the Ironclads Kickstarter.
Luckily work is pretty much sorted with regards to my cover, one of my staff is off with something similar to mine. But I have cover until Thursday at least.
A year ago today I was threatening violence on the laptop…https://bogenwald.blog/2020/12/07/stls-arrrrggghhh/
On the upside I still haven’t hit it with a hammer yet.
Still in bed, I managed to eat a slice of toast today so things must be improving. I managed to get a couple of smoothie’s down but that has been the total of the food I have eaten since Friday morning.
This thing, whatever it is, seriously sucks. It’s a right bugger as I have staff leaving tomorrow as well as parent meetings which I won’t be going to.
Hopefully I will get back by Thursday. I can still just about make it to the toilet today so Wednesday is unlikely.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for everyone’s best wishes. I will reply to you all when I am up and about.
This thing is effing crap. I managed to do 300 steps today and slept for about 14 hours last night. I have been sleeping on and off all day too. At the minute inhave put the bed covers back on after throwing the off five-minute ago… no doubt they will be 9ff again shortly.
No work for me tomorrow…
BLEURGHHHHHH!!!!!!
So last night I went to bed and tried to read… I went straight to sleep instead… today I managed to drag myself for a local PCR… luckily I am clear and can scamper madly about Shetland… however, I can just about stagger through to the kitchen to make a cup of tea…
I hoped to get something painted today, but sadly this did not happen.
Tomorrow is another day… here is hoping I get more oomph.
Tonight I had my Covid Booster as well as my flu jab… to be honest I am feeling a bit groggy. I am not sure whether it is the jabs or if I have caught my wife’s flu thing. She has been in bed since last Sunday, so I am hoping that it is the former and not the latter.
I am going to head off to bed and try and read a book…
Or if that fails… something mind numbing on Netflix or YouTube.
Sadly the snow had not gone by this morning and for the first time ever I was unable to escape the valley. I had to abandon the car and walk back home. I then had to pump up the tyre on the big car and managed to get into school just as the kids were coming in. Typically there was no snow near the school. Luckily the two inches on the bonnet and roof of mine showed the veracity of my claims.
So after a stressful start I managed to get motivated. I couldn’t however find anywhere on Shetland to take the tyre to. Typically mine doesn’t have a spare tyre either so it looks like I will be driving with a deflating tyre for a bit until I can go and rescue the little car.
I have decided that tonight I am doing sod all. Watching Netflix and chilling. Hopefully I will get remotivated tomorrow.
Tonight winter arrives with a vengeance and with the big car having a flat tyre and the little car waiting to be picked up from the garage then I had to drive the hire car into town, drop it off, walk across town in the driving snow and pick up the repaired car. I just about made it to do the horse as the roads were getting , and to quote me, “a bloody nighmare”.I then had to go back to town to pick up my eldestfrom Drama, who kindly volunteered to leave early so we could get back. The 15 minute journey took at least twice that…
The joys of un gritted roads In a blizzard. At one point I missed my exit as the snow was that bad I couldn’t see it. The police have issued a don’t drive request until 10.00 tomorrow.
Anyway I couldn’t really be bothered to paint anything tonight, but I did did get these beauties off the build plate…
The Kelenken are to make a diorama, but jus thad to have a smilodon and dinocrocuta wearing armour… I am too excited by this! Must think 6mm Italian wars!
Well we are now free to go gallivanting all over Shetland again as the PCR tests came back negative… so another’s were still feeling poorly then I had to go shopping, so no painting, but I did manage a bit of printing…
Do you ever have one of those days when you end up just messing about and actually not getting anything done…today was one of those days.
I got nothing at all achieved this evening.to be fair some of it was taken up with my eldest’s parents evening which was really positive and then my other two wanted me to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean with them. I suppose it gave me a chill out time.
Five litres of ISO were delivered today’s oil can wash my prints in brand new cleaner rather than stuff that has been strained multiple times.
Still no PCR results so it is likely that I will be working from home again tomorrow. If I am then I will try and do some test prints of some of my latest acquisitions.
