An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

Woke up about 8am. My body is still working on a 2hr time difference and likely thought it was 10am. Whilst Lysh was asleep I've been the shop to get some bits & pieces in that we needed (and some Cinnamon Bun Flipz of course!). In the garage, some rough looking cunt with an empty carrier bag came in looking like he was on the wrong side of a hangover - he grabbed two blocks of Cathdral City and a pack of sausages... then as I walked toward the till, I saw him just walk off out the door and down Smallthorne Bank with whatever he'd shoved in his bag ๐๐ aaand just like that, we're back to reality I guess! ๐ซก

Spending all day doing washloads since we got back a day late! ๐ซง๐งบ Super grateful that Ree has said she'll wash any clothes from her's if Lysh takes them back unwashed ๐ค I expected to have more time to get all this laundry done, but Jet2 had different ideas! ๐ซ๐ซ

Group of college kids standing vaping on the garage forecourt blocking the petrol pumps. A staff member stuck her head out the door and asked them to move out the way of the pumps. One of the kids quipped "shut up, you work for ASDA" as though it were a really clever retort. Bruh. Your Mum probably still washes your clothes and gives you dinner money... plus you're about to get ran over for standing in the middle of a petrol station vaping and chatting, rather than somewhere more sensible. Guess common sense skipped these lot... ๐

Back to work today: 537 unread emails in my inbox. 17 new helpdesk tickets. I've been booked in for training at 10am and a meeting at 2pm. Oh, and I'm likely going to be dealing with police after CCTV footage relating to the body discovered yesterday just down the road. Busy AF.

Just got home from visiting my Dad who gave me a scare whilst I was on holiday by being admitted to hospital with crackling in his chest and really low oxygen saturation! ๐ Grateful he's still here and hopefully making some positive lifestyle changes to keep it that way! ๐ญ Ended up trying to fix their TV because the Samsung TV Plus App has stopped working for no apparent reason! ๐บ

Got an Uber to Fez. App says like £6, so I book it. We get there, suddenly Uber take £12 out my bank. I'm like WTF, so I check the app. "Additional fees charged for delays"; the delays were heavy traffic at Cobridge lights. Fuck off am I paying double the fare because the driver got stuck at a busy junction! Jokers! Then see that the driver has claimed the journey ended about 10-minutes after he'd dropped us off! Give me my refund! ๐ก

Entertaining night at the pub quiz this week. Absalom and Achitophel. Be accused of colluding in secret conversations over my birthday weekend in respect of this years proposed family Secret Santa. Justifiably annoyed, I refute the allegations. Instead of an apology however, they double down on their incorrect assertions. It doesn't matter that they are wrong - they are seemingly above reproach and are allowed to make accusations that paint others in a bad light without accountability. I am then told to my face that I am two-faced, sly (along with the whole family in general), and that I chat shit about people all the time. Excuse you? No apology is forthcoming for these insults and I am expected to just sit there and have my character sullied with impunity in the middle of the pub. Understandably, arguments later ensue with raised voices and expressed frustration - and pens being pointed aggressively. Admittedly I let myself get riled up more than I'd have liked, but in my defence, I was only matching the energy directed at me. And yet despite the preamble that led up to this, somehow by the end of the night, I am the villain and they are the victim? Because I'd refused to sit back and be insulted to my face and repeatedly spoken to like some sort of dickhead? The cherry on the cake being the use of the loaded phrase: "he just attacked me!" whilst cowering, when all I'd done was stand up for myself, albeit angrily. The connotations of saying "attacked" are profound and uphold the portrayal of them being the innocent victim, and me being a violent aggressor. The energy was equal on both sides of the table. But at that point there was nothing I could do to vindicate myself; they'd manipulated the situation perfectly. Absolutely surreal ๐คฏ

What a day, pfftt! Backup fell over again due to a drive failure; managed to remedy for now & get a working job! ๐ป Phone lines faulting, again! Suspecting it's BT's AudioCodes demarcation for QoS SLA's tripping for some unidentified reason! ๐ And I've managed to somehow snatch the VR back from the jaws of defeat, but the data replication is painfully slow and I'm on pins expecting it to permanently die imminently! ๐ง Nice to not have to do any work on the fucking Audit today though, that's beyond welcome!

Intended on going park with Ava & Ivy but they aren't replying to Bug. We've watched Beetlejuice and now Lysh has started getting out Halloween decorations. I've told her it's way too early to be putting them up, it's like 6-weeks away. She's decided to just ignore me and put them up regardless because she has no patience whatsoever... ๐๐ผ♂️๐ซก

Trilogy Tour was amazing! We arrived at the venue at like 18:47, managed buy merch (tote bag, shirt, & socks for £85), and get inside the venue effortlessly! Nipped the loo, found our seats, and were sat watching Sofia Isella by 19:11! ๐๐️ in an ideal world, we'd have been seated a little closer to the stage with a better view, but given the size of the venue & how late we bought tickets, can't really complain! ๐️ After the opening set from Sofia, we popped out and grabbed drinks (£8.50 for a pint of Madri ๐ญ๐บ), then the second opening act came on, Elita. Lysh had said originally that she didn't care about watching her, because she has an OnlyFans ๐ but then once she was on, Lysh conceded she was enjoying the music ๐๐ผ♂️๐️ around 20:30, to a screaming chorus of impatient and excitable fans, Melanie took to the stage and played an impressive set consisting of songs from her three studio albums: Cry Baby, K12, and PORTALS. The set pieces were fantastic including a fusion of smoke, lasers and pyrotechnics. The atmosphere was intoxicating. The sense of community and being a part of collective was felt throughout, especially during Light Shower where the majority of the crowd held up the phone torches and illumniated the room in a bath of light! Lysh was ecstatic when High School Sweethearts was played (as she was worried it wouldn't feature on the setlist) and I was equally happy to hear Evil live again. Admittedly we both sang our hearts out to almost the entire set. Amazing night and super glad that Lysh felt the same! Nice to feel like Dad did good again! ๐ฅฐ๐ Thanks to Lance for getting us back home after, despite the M6 closure that forced us to divert through Stafford and take even longer getting back! ๐คฆ๐ผ♂️ really appreciate you king! ๐

Christ. Rang Barclays. Spent 8-minutes going through increasingly tedious automated menus where it keeps asking questions I don't have the answers to, or telling me to login to the app when part of the issue is, I can't get into the app. Eventually it gets the hint and advises it will transfer me through to a human. "The wait time to speak to an advisor is currently 55-minutes." Fuck my life. Fine, I'll walk up to the branch in person and speak to a human, fuck me sideways. What a load of malarky.

Measured up Lysh's bedroom to check if it can realistically accommodate a king size bed. The answer is yes, but with caveats. It's too wide to align with the chimney breast. It's too long to go against two of the four walls due to the radiator/window/doorway. So yes, it will fit, but the room layout will be a bit dicey as a result! ๐๐ผ๐คช

Popped up Barclays on lunch to see what the crack is with resetting Lysh's bank account login. On the way back work, there was a woman sat in a car with it's hazard lights on, stopped by the multi-storey carpark exit. As I'm walking down, I hear a god awful screeching, look back and see her attempting to drive the car. The back driver side wheel is totally seized and isn't turning whatsoever, and plumes of smoke are billowing out as the rubber tyre is dragged mercilessly across the tarmac! ๐คฏ๐ฌ

The back driver side wheel is totally seized and isn't turning whatsoever, and plumes of smoke are billowing out as the rubber tyre is dragged mercilessly across the tarmac! ๐คฏ๐ฌ

Tesco has taken so long tonight. Jeez. Finished work at half-5. Spoke with my Mum until 18:00. Went in Tesco... came back out at 19:45... bruh. Taxi got me back home for like 20:10. And it's been mainly because Lysh has asked for loads of stuff I don't typically buy so I have no clue where it is... so I've just been wandering aimlessly around aisles looking for random shit! ๐

Roll on 60 days! Now one aught celebrate this monumental achievement with a little tipple me thinks! The countdown is afoot! ๐ง๐ซ

Lysh just facetimed me from the skatepark with Ivy to ask if we can go trick or treating up Biddulph this year, rather than around Burslem so she can go with mates too - defo glad I'm not going as a Victorias Secret Angel like she'd originally requested! ๐คก๐

Bought a bottle of Buffalo Hot Sauce Truffalo from Sauce Shop and hated it that much, I've washed the entire bottle down the sink! Fucking grim! The ingredients list truffle, which I thought was supposedly some exotic ground tuber fungus that pigs love, and it's like dumb expensive and rare? Proper vile. Fuck it rate off! ๐๐ถ️

Every confirmed death from the Covid jabs vindicates those of us who refused to take them. To think, we were called selfish, covidiots, even murderers by friends, family and the media - whilst they reassured us that they were "safe and effective"... wild. [NHS says sorry after Jack, 27, dies in Covid jab mix-up]

Tell Bug we're going the bank shortly so she need's to get ready. "I don't want to go today, I just want chill". Unlucky kid, go get dressed... ๐๐ผ♂️ Of course, Lysh then left getting ready until the 11th hour (including getting me to safety pin her jeans up at the ankle whilst we were waiting for the taxi to arrive). Then we had the pleasure of listening to the taxi driver with one headphone in chatting to someone and singing in a foreign language all the way to Hanley ๐๐ซก

Been the bank to sort this debit card. What a nonsense. After a quick DPA check etc, they said they'll post a new PIN to Lysh's address. I asked why they couldn't have just sent that without us having to come into branch - apparently it's an added security measure they have to do it when you can't access the app... ๐ make it make sense! We popped Maccies for a Banana Milkshake, but ended up getting some fries and a McFlurry too ๐ then we spent a couple hours window shopping in HMV and Primark. Bug is a proper little geek wishlisting everything in HMV ๐คฃ now we've had a wander up to the park for an hour or so! ๐๐ผ๐

After saying she didn't want to wear a coat & that she'd be warm enough without one, it's always amusing to see Bug concede defeat and be grateful that I knew better & brought her a coat in my bag! Had a walk back home with a little stop off at the NISA for a snack, then we've made some homemade pizza for tea ๐๐คค

Frustratingly, I am really hitting that slump with Mass Effect ๐ซ I want to push through it and get into the sequels, because this series is overwhelmingly heralded as being bang on... but whenever I get the chance to sit down and game, I find myself defaulting to Minecraft, or just not bothering because I simply am not enthused to play it ๐ I don't want to DNF it, because I really do want to like it... but for now, I think I may just start something new and leave it to one side with the genuine intention of coming back to it at a later date ๐ฎ

Honestly, I cannot overstate how fucking hilarious this game is. It's so intuitive and chock full of humour, satire, and wit. I have not stopped smiling and laughing all the way through playing it... 10/10.
