    Don't worry, my students are not the kind to get shocked by it, they love when a teacher messes up actually and most of them hear a lot worse at home !

    I was just pretending to be shocked :pac:

    Had to write the date an hour ago, for the first time today, and realised it's my mother's birthday and she would have been 100 today. This started a whole raft of memories and chat here about the great character she was. Happy with memories now.

    I moved recently, renting, and the new place has a pretty nice reclining sofa in my room. Last night, watching TV with some tortilla chips, dropped one down the inside of the sofa. Had to get it out, which I did, but also came out with a free €2 coin. It's not much, but it was nice.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Happy that the sun is shining and the forecast gives showers only by afternoon - so a trip to the river might be in order.

    Something like this happened me last week when I was hoovering out my car! Got a new car about 2 months ago and it hadn't been given a proper hoover before I bought it so one of the sunny days last week I went out, hoovered it and found almost €2 in various places :D

    The cattle have been released into the fields. All leaping and charging, kicking their hind legs in pure joy. And the calves are adorable. A sure sign the long hard winter is gone.

    You were sitting on a goldmine all this time! :pac:








    Although, I have to say, finding money like that when you least expect it is a great feeling :D

    We have a half door and I was able to leave it open comfortably for a little hour with the nice ray of sunshine.

    The farmer is at slurry now in the field right behind so had to close it, but I've a nice stick of incense burning inside so I don't care :)

    A strange car pulled in to the drive this afternoon, as I sat in the garden just beginning the crossword.

    "#$@# , who now?"

    Turns out it was an old acquaintance we hadn't seen in over twenty years. He was going to meet someone but had an hour to spare. Two hours later he left. A very pleasant catch up and happy to see him looking so well.

    Seeing a video of a fan absolutely slay a guitar solo at an Avenged Sevenfold gig made me grin.

    Weird night tonight. Had a friend let me in on some really really bad bews, and my mind I spinning ever since.
    But while I am devastated by it all, part of me is so so so proud of her for the way she is handling it, and she has plans to do some things in the next while that I can't believe... I'm happy to be counted as a friend by somone as amazing as her...

    Such a lovely morning out there, out here. Dawn rosying the clear sky, air pure as spring water... sea a mirror of sky. The gorse is gilding the fields.. and I found whole banks of tiny wild violets..

    Even thought I heard the distant mere echo of a cuckoo.. probably on the mainland , for sounds carry mightily here.

    Dog had a serious, noisy disruptive case of cabin fever,. so walkies was sheer self defence; watching her race off down the lane as soon as I opened the gate, ears flapping and tail waving is a sight to make for happiness.. I just stand there and laugh in her sheer exuberant delight at her freedom.

    Cat went the wrong way and ran in great hastes to find us again.

    Lovely start to the day...really lovely.

    Where I work, we have two buildings in the one industrial estate. Half an hour ago, I was going from one to the other, I was getting my bike for the less than two minute cycle. As I grabbed my bike, turning it to the direction I'd be going, I jumped back out of fright.

    On the other side of the car I was beside, there was suddenly a lot of whiteness. A family of sheep had come into our car-park, a mammy, a daddy, and three lambs, and were just 10 foot from me. I watched them saunter for a bit, just to see where they'd go. They just went about randomly in a line, with the parents at each end... :D
