Welcome to a brand new week, and welcome to all Reddit refugees.

What’s everyone up to this week? Looks like it’s going to be a rainy one so at least the gardens will be happy.

About to make a 6h drive to the lake district for the week with a friend, should be fun! I have my rain coat lol.

The Lake District is like Skye though, it can be pissing down and it’s still gorgeous

Back to work after 3 months off with a variety of health problems but most notably a slipped disc that is crushing my spinal cord. Surgery in 3 weeks but if I don’t go back today I get a pay cut so back I go! Could be worse, working from home at least

I hope its an alright easing in back to work. Annoying that you have to get back to it before surgery though!

Morning everyone. Reddit refugee here and what better way to make my first post of Lemmy than here!

I’m using wefwef and it kind of feels like a home from home already.

Looking forward to helping this place a great community

Three cheers for wefwef! 🎉

It’s a suitable stand-in for me until Boost for Lemmy is available. Boost, for me was reddit.

I’m of that age where it seems a lot of people I know are dying. So I made a decision last week to try and improve my quality of life and applied to reduce my working hours. Application approved and actioned within two days so today… I had the first of my non-working days.

Still need to figure out how best to use this time. Had a nice walk today, that’s a fair start. Rest of the week will be work as normal.

That’s amazing! Well done for going through with it and kudos to your workplace. I’m sure it’ll be weird at first but let us know how it goes!

There might be a few charities around you which do coffee meetups, organised walks, gardening together, etc. I heard u3a is good for trying or learning random different things. You could even go for long weekends to different parts of the UK or Europe to see lots of new places. You could do charity work.

Back to work after having a week off. Kind of dreading it as my calendar is already packed

I just came back from a whole month away, as the defacto manager in all but job title and pay grade. What a mess.

All I can say is:

how do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time

I’m into my second week back and finally caught up. You’ll get through it!
