Yeah, they like Avril Lavigne too. Bal says he’s single and looking for a girlfriend if you’re interested Panchali . He's the one that took the photo. I need to lose weight....again. Sorry Ben. I’m not interested. I've got another friend Mark, of Indian heritage that liked your photo too. Mark is a really nice guy with a good job. He doesn't behave like a nob when he drinks, infact he is a very responsible drinker. Very sensible and intelligent guy. I can DM his photo to you if you like?

I’m still off work. Not needed back yet. Trying not to stress about my situation.

I read the book, “A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian” by Marina Lewycka whilst on holiday in Holland and from that book I learnt a little about the country. I guess I am always preoccupied with my own trivial problems that I forget about the big picture of a giant country like Russia. I have been living in inner city Birmingham for 20 years now, often as a minority race. It seems like madness to me to go to war against each other and terribly sad. One of my favourite Polish people I know locally is an alcoholic I meet at the bus stop who is trying to save up enough money here to buy a house in Poland but he drinks too much. He hates it around here and has no family and just wants to go home.

I feel really sorry for Ukraine. I don't know what to say. What's the worst that can happen? Is everyone in the Ukraine going to die? Or will the casualties be confined to military people only. I don't know. I believe Russia will be stronger by not going to war.

It sounds like UnderAlexSkin is up for the fight. I don't know why Russia won't attack China or Kazakhstan instead. I like Russians and Ukrainians, I often work with both of them. The irony being they come to this country for money when their homelands are probably much more beautiful places to live.

I went to Zombie Club with Abigail and Bal. I look a bit bald in this photo. Bal was playing up getting drunk and abusive. I said to him, “Look, you’re pissed and Abby wants you to leave her alone.” And he became very angry, abusive and stormed off. I put my foot down and protected the female. I think that’s the most manly thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.

Yes, happy birthday 🥳 for last Tuesday Jinkxx. I have been given some time off work. Not enough work at the moment. Experience has taught me not to worry. It will pick up again. Enjoying the break.

This again. Homemade bolognese sauce with penne pasta. Haven’t had it for a long time. So, so yummy! I've never seen the pasta on top! I always put the sauce on top! Maybe gonna try that too if I think about it!! My last eating things were 2 tangerines. I cook the sauce in a big pot and use some for each serving. I put the sauce around the outside of the plate so it heats evenly in the microwave and then pour the pasta on top. I know traditionally the pasta goes around the sauce.

Pretty stressful day at work today. Was being trained up to book in work with a scanner and it was temperamental. Didn’t work sometimes which freaked me out. New skill. Hard work, banding, loading and wrapping pallets of stock. Was filling stands in the morning and didn’t do that right either. Pretty god damn stressful.
