Looking at holiday cottages - and let's just say with this one, you're never far from a bath!

Although that reminds of the time I was at a comic con and we accidentally confused all the US visiting guests that the clocks went back that night.

It was late March, and they'd go forward the following weekend. Cue a Sunday morning con missing a lot of it's key people for a while...

Watching 'High Rise' and wondering when Joe Dredd turns up to judge all these citizens?

Either that or Kier Edgar!

Afternoon spent installing brackets and retrofitting shelves to the remodelled kitchen cupboards after last weeks new extractor fan install.

Bit Heath Robinson but as the kitchen is already held together with glue and applied prayer, no one's going to mind.

Still a bit miffed I couldn't find a Castiel figure among all those saints and other angels.

My offer to take Mrs Llama out somewhere fun to cheer her up today resulted in an interesting trip. Even if her idea of 'fun' and mine might orthogonally divergent I suspect!

She didn't let me buy one of the in-action figures either. Not even St Spiderman...

Just realised the clocks change this weekend. So long BST, hello grim-dark GMT for the next six months.

Still, I've been getting up/coming home from campus in the dark for the past few weeks - so it won't make much of a week-day difference!

Not even wearing my 'wooly hat of inflamed sinus comforting' - so I >must< be doing well.

Oh noes, the lunchtime seminar on equitable partnerships I was off to has been postponed. Ah well, guess I'll just have lunch then instead.

Still, at least today's the first clear headed day I've had in the past week which is making work a whole lot easier today.

Well, okay, a tiny bit easier. 😀

The unalloyed delights this morning of waking myself up with a coughing fit.

I >think< I'm seeing the back of this cold finally, but I'll let you know.

Once I stop coughing.

Reader, she didn't buy any tofu.

I think this means the geese have been victorious. Damn them! 😂

Managed my bi-weekly update with the Boss without devolving into a coughing fit.

That came afterwards.

Bah!

Could I be exiled to a Scottish castle? I mean, it sounds rather like my life's ambition than a punishment.

Good that Mrs LLama is at the shops and receiving instructions for things to buy from both me and da goosey boiz.

Mind you, the suggestions might be mutually incompatible.

'Buy some smoked tofu!'

'NO TOFU! NO TOFU!!'

'Ignore them, they can have tofu and like it!'

'No Tofus Protest!'

etc.,

Ah well, resigned to a week of WFH I guess by this point, to avoid spreading the joy too far and wide.

Ditto Mrs Llama - which is why she's now avoiding me in the house and opening every window. If she gets it, she'll be sick for a month :/

Hoping the fresh autumnal air is a curative at this point!
