Today I learned that British government offices around Downing Street have office cats and that those cats are a common topic of news articles.

Sometimes they fight which has to be some kind of abstract metaphor for politics and bureaucracy.

The circuit breaker lockdown here has worked and life has resumed. Borders still closed and the vaccination program is going ahead but it's good to see a government doing the right thing and getting results.

So pleased for you guys Tiste.

Early vaccine one dose results suggest high protection until and beyond the second dose is given AND suggestion of reducing transmission.

Wife pulled a birthday doozy on me. Woke up on the day and she gave me AC: VALHALLA for my PS4 as my gift. I was super excited and thankful! My kids got me a MANDO hoodie too. Then in the evening she comes in from getting out son at daycare and has a wrapped gift and says "This was downstairs with security, they said there was no card and they don't know who sent it...?" I think it's some random gift my mom dropped off and lost the card. It's heavy. I set it down and let the kids rip into it (they love ripping gift paper)...

It's the Limited Edition 2363pc LEGO BATWING (1989) that you can hang on the bloody wall.

I had a moment where I was like "This isn't what it looks like, no way..."...

Anyways, long story short, I married the most amazing and kindhearted woman of all time. I've said this before, but it bears repeating since she indulges my LEGO passions.

Back to the Netherlands? This surely isn't about the UK. At least over in South Yorkshire there's no end in sight.

Heh, if there is one country who is definitely not keeping things under control it is the Netherlands. What a mess. Second lowest vaccination rate in the EU after Bulgaria. And then the government collapsed over an unrelated matter last month as well. Riots in the street. Nope, the Netherlands certainly isnt it.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

This checks out because no Boris. Glad it's going well for you at any rate.

And damn Gore, I genuinely had no idea. That said we're not allowed news from the mainland without a £50 import fee now.

Went for a run! It was slow and only lasted 20 minutes but I got out there and did it, after months of hardly any exercise.

Much closer to Nick Frost haha and yes I'm meant to stay fit but with shifts and all I'm always so pooped it's hard to motivate one's self.
