crystalcazzieHappy Friday, everyone! It's an especially good Friday for me cos I have next week off work, and looking at the upcoming weather I feel like I have made a good choice here. While on one hand it might have been nice to go to work cos the place actually has air conditioning, I think on balance I'm really looking forward to being able to get up in the morning and know that I have absolutely nothing I have to do that day. Especially if it's after a particularly bad night where sleep is almost impossible!
Monday is due to be the hottest day, with temperatures of 37C forecast for us here. It's also my mum's birthday and so far the plan to celebrate is to stay inside with the curtains closed and not do anything. A wise choice!
In other news, we are once again doing a family predictions game for the Euros. I wasn't able to find another chocolate football as the prize, so I've gone for a whopping 750g Toblerone bar. It's pretty big!
Tormund was a bit bemused by my attempts to take a selfie with it to show how big it actually is...
It may not be a football, but I feel like it's something that's different enough to be special, plus it kinda fits the theme cos it's Swiss and Switzerland are one of the teams playing. I was half tempted to go for a 4.5kg bar, but I couldn't really justify spending that much!
And speaking of buying things, we decided we needed to replace our Alexa cos it had been playing up. Rather than go for a boring normal one I bought the Kids Echo with a tiger face. It's ridiculously cute. I just disabled the Kids subscription in the app and it works just like a normal Alexa.
Look how cute it is!
I suppose I should also talk about the political situation in the country since it is a bit of a clusterfuck at the moment. Boris is such a cockroach I do wonder if he'll ever actually leave. I can just imagine him barricading himself in Number 10, throwing a tantrum cos he's the prime minister dammit, and refusing to accept whoever the new leader is. Which won't be my local MP cos he was knocked out surprisingly early.
