I've written a lengthy 'welcome' announcement for my new MBA students on my module, only I can't send it until they get their timetable from the timetablers/administrators for their course. Otherwise I'll get hundreds of queries that I don't have the information to answer

So I'm now trying to find a restaurant(s) in Wicklow for next week's Irish nationals - need Weds/Thurs/Fri/Sat eve booked.

Oh, and @fossyant Ricky Wilson presented our staff awards a few years ago, where I was there after being nominated for 'best lecturer' yet again. He was very drunk and fell up the stairs onto the podium. I didn't win. Again.

busy season for school portraits is living up to my expectations. every 2-3 minutes it's something else to handle. last year it was hybrid scheduling, schools open then closed, then open again & no groups. this year it's juggling the groups. here's hoping the weather holds for all the outdoor group photos!

It's lovely and sunny here if you want to use my garden

Finally cooler here, seems like for good and all. Weather front came through and blew wind and rain like a hurricane. I know this because the dog awakened me at 1 a.m. for the event. She had to go out, and she went to the back yard, then pranced into the house just as the weather hit.

Warm, blustery and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I have had a kitchen morning. There is a Rillettes de Mans going on in the crock pot with the pork belly I bought on Saturday, and leek & potato soup simmering away on the hob.

My green (garden & kitchen waste) wheelie bin was collected this morning. A day late.

Almost time for lunch.

Time to finish, booked a couple of hours off. Time for a pop, before checking into the hotel to drop the suitcase off. Check in isn't till 4, but I've got to check in, deposit said bag, and hot foot it across Manchester to meet MrsF at 4:30. Razorlight 7:30, Kaisers 9pm. Curfew at 10:30 as it's outdoors , so might have to find a bar near the hotel.

Lovely lunch of an egg & prawn sandwich, a minneola, the half a mango I didn't eat last night, and two

I thought as much, judging by the way you said things. Been there, done that, know what it's like...
