First thing. My New years resolution included a desire to close my exercise ring on my Apple Watch every day. That failed yesterday thanks to a glitch on my phone. What was more annoying, is that I was one minute off closing it, but it would not register a walk in the garden that I took with Leia for that reason!
On the topic of Leia, my daughter has taught her how to sit with a hand gesture. The hand gesture being giving her the middle finger. It is strange to see my daughter giving her the middle finger and then Leia sitting, looking at her with complete love in her eyes. But that is proof that she is my daughter. And this tale has made many at my work laugh!
I was vaccinating today. Well, I was preparing the vaccines, others were vaccinating. It is hard work, and I am impressed by those who are able to do this all day. Ensuring that the vaccines are not mixed too vigorously is challenging and I had to discard two vials after I dropped them.
My wife who is a front line worker is eligible for this and I had my fingers crossed that she might be able to have one, but sadly this did not happen.
My wife, daughter and I watched the film Tag. It had been recommended to my daughter by a friend of hers and it was a very enjoyable film which we all loved. It was a shame that my son did not watch it, but there is nothing to be gained by making him watch a film he does not want to. The kids today were getting on together well which was a lot better than yesterday when they fell out and one physically attacked the other. Going back to Tag, it was not as predictable as I thought it would be and it did appeal to my sick and twisted sense of humour, but was mainstream enough that it would not put others off watching it. Based on a real story, I am tempted to find out more about the real game on another occasion.
Dinner was a takeaway which was not as good as we hoped. We branched away from our usual Thai restaurant and regretted it as the food was not up to the standards that we are used to. We did enjoy dessert though which we ordered after the disappointing dinner.
Leia is doing well, but sadly has decided to start doing a poo inside. I am hoping that this will not continue.
This is a morally reprehensible and disgusting film which children should not be allowed to watch. The language used early on in the film by the budding author should have been censored out, and the only truly moral part of the film was the views and actions of the father in it.
My daughter loves the film and it has made me want to watch The Taming Of The Shrew. Being based on a play by the greatest playwright ever, it would be hard to ruin. I had wanted to watch this film many years ago when it had first come out, but never got round to doing so. Watching it now, it is from a different perspective as I am from another generation.
My wife joined us during the film and I think that she liked bits of it. Maybe, she will watch it all and we can enjoy it as a family.
Yesterday, I got home late. On doing so, as normal, I took of my clothes in the hall to put in the wash and showered. After dressing, I went downstairs where Leia was ecstatic to see me. As I was getting ready to eat, she went to the back door so that I could take her out into the garden to open her bowels.
My wife kindly offered to do this for me and put on a coat to brave the icy cold, but Leia followed me as I went to the table to eat. Later, she went to the back door and barked, this time my son took her out where she did a wee in the garden. But on getting back in, she barked again, and we realised that she wanted me to take her out. My food was quite hot, having come out of the microwave, so I took her out (and completed my exercise ring on my watch for the day) where she did the poo that she had been saving for me.
This was an issue on Monday night as well, but then, my daughter had taken her out, and Leia did a poo for her. While Leia will open her bowels for all of us, it appears that she prefers to save all her poo for me!
"You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated."
Rudi Giuliani called for them to engage in “a trial by combat” and they peacefully marched on the United States Capitol. When they got there, things changed. They violently forced entry into the seat of the US government. The last time that happened was then the forces of the British Empire did so, this being a feat not possible for the Confederate States of America in the US civil war.
Not all the protests in June 2020 were peaceful, violence and damage to property took place and was met with a robust defence, this including when the public safety building in Kenosha was attacked. The violence in June 2020 was disgraceful and not excuse is present for causing damage which requires public funds to repair that could be spent on helping people instead.
Spent the day working from home. I was on standby to possibly work at the vaccination hub, but instead of going into that, did some work helping workers at a care home get vaccinated this week.
The kids are at home now, lessons being on Zoom, or on Microsoft Teams. The kids have had issues when it comes to Leia and my wife and I are going to have to sort this out later. My daughter was not happy when the lockdown news came, especially when it came to the cancellation of GCSE's as she this means that her mock exams are going to probably be her final grade in the exam she was meant to sit later this year.
As my children where on a staggered return to school, things are not as bad for them as in this video, but I do feel for teachers having to work on constantly shifting sands. A bit like how things have been in the NHS...
I am in two minds as to if Trump should face charges for this. If he does, it risks dividing an already divided nation more, but if the authorities decide to ignore this, many will see a rich white man getting away with corruption, when others do not. Justice is meant to apply to all and while Trump has got away with things before, it makes a mockery of the law if he gets away with this as well.
