First full week back to work now. I like to have a regular routine, Christmas can throw things out of shape that way!

She could give birth any time now. They say she's due in March, but the window is open now...she's sleeping a lot. Not quite as feisty, but still firmly the queen of the group.

Listening to the radio today and speaking to a few people at work it does seem like a lot of people are quitting things in January, I suppose it being a new decade gives added impetus. All good.

What do the feed the gorillas at Paris Zoo?

Ape Suzettes.

It's right here, in my hand.

I really like the Native/First Nation wisdom. "Red Road" may be more an American thing, but I know there's a lot of red dirt in AU and a lot of indigenous people and their wisdom.
That is really cool Bim!

Morning Weekenders

Saou :

Reid, it does seem to take a while to get back on track after Christmas.

I’m off over the Humber Bridge this morning for my appointment with the immunologist.
A while ago with having these trips to Hull I bought a Humber Tag which goes on the car windscreen. It enables us to go in the outside lane and not have to stop at the pay booths. When you pass under the scanner the tag beeps. It’s cool.

See you later, have a good day.

Morning weekenders,

Super busy here but checking in to say hello. I only have a couple of weeks paid work agreed for the New Year so I should be looking for new opportunities. Instead I'm frantically finishing off my current projects. Oh well, at least I'm sober so progress is possible...

Warm wishes as always. Forwards.

I'm in! I got back from my trip to Belize yesterday, but didn't get online much until this morning. Trip was fantastic! I'll try to get a few pictures posted at some point.

Haven't caught up with the thread yet - just settling in at work.
