  Saturday October 30th 2021 The Blurb - Better sleep than usual I suppose, probably around five hours all in. Still trying to sort stuff out.

  Friday October 29th 2021 The Blurb - Still stressing over the move.  Nervous and excited at the same time. I’m hoping that we’re settled relatively quickly, especially as I only have so many episodes in the can for Pods Like Us, so will need to get recording, and then I’ll have to see how that works with a mobile broadband box in a house, as opposed to the flat. Steady night, albeit with me being a little bit slow.  Got some great shows listened to. The ‘casts - (Notes spoken to Siri, and edited later if I remember)!

  Thursday October 28th 2021 The Blurb - So after going back to bed at around 8am, I fell asleep eventually, woke at around 1.30pm, then fell asleep, and eventually woke at around 4pm. It wasn’t a busy shift, which is good because I was so not into it.  The end of the shift was taken by listening to another future episode of Pods Like Us in readiness for editing.

  Tuesday October 25th 2021 The Blurb - Got home for half past eight in the morning from work. Things didn’t go to plan… Again! First up I planned to stay awake through to Tuesday night… That didn’t work, because I decided at 9am to get to sleep until 11am.    I dropped off around half past nine, and woke up at 4pm, not even noticing that an alarm had gone off.  I think I went to Morrison’s, but can’t remember what for. I listened to the podcast From The Swamp To The Swamp while I was there. We got some viewing in, and what I remember of the viewing for both days will be put together later in the post (today was the Goldie Hawn film Deceived, and some episode of The World According To Jeff Goldblum.  Around 5 in the morning I went to bed… Wednesday October 26th 2021 The Blurb - I woke up at about twenty past eight, and got up at 8:45am, at which point I used the time to insert the promos into the next episode of Pods Like Us, and get it set up to come out on Sunday. I went back to bed

Thoughts and Dreams, and Sunrise Streams I long to walk through fields of green Where time is not a worry To hear the birdsong in the air With nary a flurry To while away a pleasant time Such a peaceful scene Here with my thoughts and dreams Watching the sunrise stream.  Still got the beard! #CantBeArsedOctober 

  Monday October 25th 2021 The Blurb - Finished later than I would have liked from the Sunday night shift, but that’s the nature of the job. Even still, it took an age to get to sleep, and was a slightly disturbed one at that for mainly reasons of me worrying.  I don’t know why, but I was very slow all shift. I got it all done, but finished late to get it all done, and won’t accept extra pay because I just wanted to make sure that I got the work done - professionalism you see.
