@R-L Yes. Can I help you?

It's lockdown. I have jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of ugg boots. Will that work?
-
@MajorRage aww bless. Ugg boots. Love it. You'll do.

I believe that was my wife exact quote when we talked about marriage. Who says romance is dead.
-
@MajorRage are ugg boots still a thing then? I used to wear like 10 years ago. Cosy
-
@R-L I dunno to be honest, I don't think I've seen anybody else wear them in years. When I was in Queenstown in 2017 the UGG store had them at 60% off so my wife purchased. I kept looking at them and decided I wanted some for myself so went back and got some the next day.

I used to think pilots were a bit dishy, but then Peter on The Bachelor turned me right off them. Ugh.
I am fortunate enough never to have seen the Bachelor. I would say that anyone that went on the Bachelor was likely to be a prick anyway. There might be a reason that they couldn't get a date in the first place. Having said that I worked on a %10 dickheads rule at work, every now and again you would have to sit next to some bell end talking about themselves for hours.

As a (very part-time) registered marriage celebrant, this is accurate for older couples especially.

Fern Lockdown Meeting called. I'm not good today to be honest, really don't want to send my child to school tomorrow, really don't want to go to work, just want to stay at home and play in the remaining bits of snow and just be in a little bubble for a few more weeks. Hibernation sounds about right.
Quick someone make me laugh or say something inspirational. I know I'm incredibly blessed, I really do, we are healthy and have everything we need but I'm just glum today, it's shit. Just such a horrible sense of doom.Hope you are all ok anyway.
-
@R-L Ach. Horrid to hear you're not doing well RL I think we all get the blues every now and then currently. I got away to see Ms Cato No2 (she is our designated support bubble) over New Year and to be honest it wasn't really any different to staying put. We were both in Tier 3 areas so we couldn't do much other than go for a walk in the countryside and stay at home and eat, drink, play cards (she introduced me to a game called Shithead, which is really good). Although it was all pretty much samsey just the change of being in a different four walls seemed to make a big difference, it brought home that saying about a change being as good as a rest. Also it made me realise that I'd been getting a bit down in the dumps post Christmas. I'd say try and resist the temptation to hibernate, get out and meet your loved ones as far as you're allowed. Get some exercise and some of that bracing fresh air. Just make sure that you're doing something.
-
@Catogrande there may be an element of new year blues, I usually really dislike this time of year anyway.
Glad you spend some time with your loved ones. I can do that I just don't want to put anyone at risk, I want to play my part and keep myself and family safe.
Urgh, I'm just glum, deeply glum. Tomorrow I'll most likely be fine and getting on as usual. -
@R-L
Can empathise. I'm always down in Jan & Feb - worst months of the year for me. Loathe the dark mornings and wet days. One of the few upsides was a pint and lunch in a pub with an open fire. Fat chance this year.
I'm going to sit down and figure out some fun stuff to do to get me thru the next few weeks, try some cooking, learn how to take a decent photograph, find a list of films I can actually watch with Mrs Meldrew, post in the Grumpy Old Men thread..
Speaking of Mrs M, she seems to have a good approach.. "Chocolate, there's always chocolate...."
-
@R-L yea I did struggle with the cold dark days this time of year in the UK, so that coupled with lockdown will no doubt exaggerate it.
Just need to try and enjoy the time with your family, eat some chocolate, have a glass of wine, watch Die Hard, but don't over do it (on the wine, you can watch all the Die Hards, or should that be the other way )
