May. 2nd, 2020 04:35 pmI was amused this morning to wake up to a bottle of mayo on my front doorstep. I realised I'd ran out yesterday and needed some for James' bait, but didn't want to go to the shops for just one thing. So asked Kayleigh to get me some as she was grocery shopping at the time. She said she'd drop it off before work, and did so, I just didn't expect that to be so early.
James had his sickness meeting yesterday and has been put on a trial of six months of shifts that end no later than midnight. He was also put on a stage one sickness warning, which is actually good as we were both expecting a stage two. However, they said they could see he was actively trying to help himself with lifestyle changes to go along with med changes so were happy to stay with a stage one.
He also discovered the Krispie Kreme doughnut place near his work has reopened to NHS staff only and are giving away free coffee and ring doughnuts to people going through the drive-thru. While this is good of them -- I assume they're working out social distancing measures and making changes in store for a reopening at some point and so are experimenting with NHS staff -- he'll have to remember getting doughnuts before every shift wouldn't really fit in with those lifestyle changes, so coffee only I think.
I've just been chatting with Corey. His house share lease is up at the end of August and he was saying if he's still furloughed he'll have to come home as he won't be able to lease anywhere new. That isn't an issue at all but at the same time, it's a shame as he had plans to get a place with his girlfriend where it would be just the two of them and not another house share situation. Sadly, with him working in a nightclub I can't see him going back to work anytime soon, and the terms of his furlough mean he can't apply to work anywhere else.
Murphy was extra Murphy this morning, running around like a crazy thing. I also came down to find the doughnut snapped off the cat tower, though, I can't really blame him for that as it was wobbling yesterday. So I've raided the spare cat tower again and got a new post and reattached the doughnut, so he's sleeping happily on the bottom one while Milo has claimed the top spot.
It's a very doughnut heavy post today it seems.
Yesterday I made more banana muffins but added blueberries too, and again they were delicious. Due to a lack of muffin cases, I improvised and used tin foil moulded into muffin trays, and it worked nicely, but now I've run out of tin foil too. I still have ingredients to make muffins, and am tempted to just risk greasing the trays and not using liners at all.
Stumptown has just started here and I've seen some people really like the show, so it's now on the planner and I'll watch the first episode tonight. Now though, I'm off to watch the last Prodigal Son episode as I need to know what happens.
