All caught up on Ted Lasso S3 ready for the final episode. My prediction is Ted resigns as coach to go back home, Coach Beard stays. Ted recommends Nate take his place as head coach. 📺

I spent part of the afternoon chasing five year old twins around a playground so decided a gelato cone was in order as a little reward.

Plenty of options to choose from. I went with “Vaniglia Honeycomb” (not a typo). It’s vanilla, local honey and choc honeycomb.

A wall listing gelato and sorbet flavours.  The top of the wall is black with “Menu” in the centre and under that “Classic”, “Special” and “Sorbet”. All in red letters. Under that is three horizontal rows of nine clipboards with flavours listed on each on various colours of paper. A red milkshake maker and a stack of cones are on the bench below.

🚶 Afternoon walk. Which may involve a stop for gelato.

🫖 Chores and grocery shopping done. Time for a pot of tea. The Scottish Breakfast blend from Harrogate of London I think.

I have arrived at friends for dinner and have been greeted by one singing along to Divine You think You’re a Man and the other yelling out “I’m in the kitchen getting my sausage sorted”. I think the open wine bottle on the bench may not be the first.

Should be an entertaining night!

Two guys sitting at the table beside me at this cafe and I’m close enough to hear their conversation. I honestly can’t work out if they’re having a business meeting/interview or a first date.

I’m excited for them either way.

Here we are in 2023, with three years of online meetings, and people are still playing music in the background when working at home and not turning off when they talk in a meeting.

Spent the afternoon at a HR training session. Two things come to mind:

(1) What did facilitators do before they could show videos of TEDx Talks or YouTube videos?

(2) Stabbing a red hot poker in my eye might have been less painful.

We all love a crochet blanket when it starts to get cooler at night.

A black and white cat laying lengthways between a persons legs. The legs are covered with a crochet blanket coloured pink, blue, brown, yellow and green.
