Watching these wonderful mums and their children made me smile and brought a tearfully happy memory of my late ever loving cousin. Happy to see how our society has moved on for the good.

He was surrendered aged 1 as his family were moving and there were allergies there. A comedian, and totally uninhibited, and totally unfazed at a new home. He spent the car journey helping me change gears through the cat cage bars..

The most tactile cat I have had; he comes and sits by you, gazes soulfully at you, then slides sideways right across you... purring fit to bust. Never seen the like. Loves his food!

When I first had him, he was not allowed out and keeping him in seemed hard as he would try every time I opened the door...

So one day I opened the door wide, said OK there you go... and his golden eyes turned bright green in sheer HORROR at the idea..OH NO! NO WAY!.It was only when we moved the next time he started going out.

My cats bless me mightily!

Small children dressed as animals/cartoon characters. I saw a little girl of about three dressed as a penguin today, complete with orange shoes/flappers and a hood. Totally made my day

Finished the present shopping for the second most difficult person to buy for on my list by popping in to a local shop 'for a look' on my way way home!

A guy in the house moved out and threw his professional folder in the bin. Oh perfect condition, I'll have it!

Sorta looks like this but far smarter and cooler. I dunno why he threw in the bin, I'm not complaining. Actually this one in the photo is pretty poor, mine is much better

My dad has similar to that. They’re grand but whatever happened to the briefcase? You never see them anymore.

When you get to the checkout and there's no queue, just a cashier smiling and waiting to start scanning your shopping.

Visited Paris for the first time.

All my life people told me Parisians were ignorant and rude but as regards giving up seats for others and not barging onto trains before people get out and other stuff you’d see worse behavior on the Luas tbh. People were friendly too even with the rioting.

TH I visited at a good time, very little queues or just a few minutes for security and saw lots and lots

Also TH I used my leaving cert French for stuff like changing a train ticket or in a shop and they didn’t kick me out and point & laugh at my attempt

Met two of my nieces, from Mexico, for a coffee this morning. Great to get to see them face to face again.

Whimsically bought 2 x tickets for Jenny Greene at the Marquee. Went 2 years ago and loved it. It's a great night out - Glowsticks at the ready

I am sure I would be happy if I was out having a few pints and soaking up the seasonal atmosphere.
But am happier to be snug and warm and dry in my own living room with a great line up of cheesy tv for the evening.
