Sitting trying to make my mind up. It's a young fella up the road's birthday tomorrow (60) and he's retiring too, so I'd like to get him a gift. I'm torn between two things....

Think I'll just hit town in a while and hope for Devine inspiration when I'm there.

Must choose the traditional clock so he can keep to a timetable!!!!

The abominable clock or watch at retirement. :eek:

I haven't worn a watch in 20 years.

Went for a nice gin with a selection of 'different' tonics, as he was very taken with a similar gift I got recently.

Putting the coffee on. Home alone, so if anybody fancies coffee, biscuits and coffee cake, get here in the next quarter of an hour.

It's just a number, another day. Chin up and take life and world by storm.

It’s a whole decade. I’m basically going to age 10 years.
But sure look. Could be worse. Could be about to turn 40.

In work, grateful I’m not about to turn 40.

NO YOU ARE NOT! Older by one day... You are a spring chicken.. I will never forget the day I turned 70 and could no longer deny old age.... had been doing so for years. Was filling in a form that asked my date of birth and it clicked into place SEVENTY YEARS,.... nearly adding the next decade now and you know what? Every day is a gift and a blessing and every day I learn something new and precious.

To think I almost liked you....turning 45 on Monday and am scared sh*tless. I think I was able to deny that I was old until now. Dammit.

I also want to go to the Bermuda Triangle or at least stay here but nope, have to go back to the old sod for a few weeks. Only good thing about it is getting to see my family and friends. Otherwise don't think it would bother me if I never set foot in Ireland again.

Boyfriend asked me what I would like for my birthday and told him a massage coz am too poor these days to get them myself and my back is fecked. But just thinking, I should wind him up a bit and tell him that there is an Irish birthday tradition and make up something.
Any ideas?

In the kitchen making a bite to eat. I have just sat down, visitors for the weekend, so had to do a clean up. Looks like rain at the minute.

If anyone breathes in this house between now and tomorrow, they're out. :pac:

Shpud2 · 13-09-2018 2:58pm

In a maths free. Browsing Boards for a brief second as I take a break from doing homework. The class is loud, but no one talks to me so I have my peace.

In from out.... What a wind out there. The van arrived with the shopping. They had overloaded a huge box and it had thrown up all over the drive.... chickens, all, frozen fish! A scattering! The cats were very interested and as for dog..

So all is safe and the usual fitting everything into the freezer is done.. Makes me grateful for my childhood total craze for jigsaw puzzles..

The van is away and we are sorted for dry goods etc. I am stocked with big bags of flour for bread etc if need be. Porridge oats...Butter, cooking fat..Tomorrow is an extra. They go over anyways as M collects the pensions for those who cannot get. So much simple practical kindness here.

But that wind is cutting, wild. They were sure of today but a question over tomorrow. Only once has he got it wrong, that day in late October when an unforecast storm rolled in and I was stranded on the mainland.. Sat in the car that was rocking in the wind.... ay me!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 13-09-2018 3:58pm

Towelling off after a sudden downpour but it's brightening up outside already, so back out I go. Decided to tidy the garage and nearly sorry I started, as it's proving to be a bigger jog than anticipated.

Couch. Would love a cuddle and some tlc. But still contagious so I'm on my lonesome. Not that there'd be anyone here for the job.

Me too La. It would be lovely to be minded just now and then. We can cuddle each other

I'm in bed. Worn out.

Thanks. For. That.

On the couch lamenting that I'll be 40 in a few weeks

Home, back from the city centre. Didn't actually intend to go to the city, only meant to go to the post office to send a card for my mam's birthday and then just have a wander around, but ended up in the city. Having everything so close is so good

Mookie Blaylock · 13-09-2018 4:40pm

Someone used the toilet and left a smell that would make a gargoyle cry...one of the girls at work has a dicky tum and went to use it...started to retch when the "aroma" wafted up to her and she ran to her car and has driven home to use her own loo
