    Travelling from this end is easy, 20 min drive to the airport car park, 100 meter walk into office to meet others, 150 meter walk to clear immigration and security and climb on bus to door of aircraft, climb onboard and greet crew, get offered an empty first class seat or the bedroom.

    Only bit of stress is that my colleague used to shag the flight attendant that we are spending the next 3 days with, but that’s their issue not mine 😀

    Had a lie in this morning (walkies at 7!) Roadtrip time - I’m a woman on a mission (pressie & food shopping). Lots of Christmas appointments in the afternoon. Concert this evening. Busy Bumbóg. Have a good day all!

    You know how a frog will hop out of hot water, but will just sit there if they start off in colder water, and then the water gets hotter..

    Think I did that in the bath this morning.

    Dancing around the place because it is almost ChristmasTime. :)

    Coming home for Christmas. Can’t wait to see my mum and dad and mates. \o/

    Out of spin and core class. After all the wine I had last night I was close to vomiting, that was before the class even started. The only thing that made me feel somewhat better was luckiest man was there too in even worse condition than me so that cheered me up and motivated me to get through the class so as I could gloat. Bit stressed out as I ordered a dildo as a joke present for a friend from ali express, but it hasn’t come. And now, evidently, neither will she. Going to have to think of another joke present but have no time for shopping

    Sitting in the car in the carpark waiting for him to come back when this old lady and who I presumed to be her daughter came out to their car which was next to mine, their back door in line with my wing mirror. Aul one clearly didn’t see me and swung the back door open against my wing mirror and it made an awful sound, and then she proceeds to smack it again the second time. Jumped out of the car and I said excuse me, do you mind not vandalizing my car? And her daughter was like oh I’m so sorry. I like old people, I love old men but old ladies are a law unto themselves. I saw it for years commuting they’d knock you down to get in in front of you, in reality if they calmed down a bit they’d see people would usually let them on the train first. Ruthless they are.

    Sitting on an airplane at Dublin Airport, waiting to depart, on my way to sunny Fuerteventura with my OH for some Christmas sun. :)

    Enjoy your hols Jupiter!
    Expensive road trip this morning.

    A busy morning with visitors calling to wish us well for Christmas. Cut a load of holly for the house and our visitors all left delighted with some.

    Going to light the fire now and read the paper: if the doorbell doesn't ring again...

    Base...1, I think. A little bit jaded. Nice but very late night with my fiance last night (or the night before? What day is it,)
    Sometime in.tbe early hours of one of the blurry days recently my friend told me about his "expiry date". He knows, for a fact, that hes going to die within about 8 months. He said Im the first person hes told. Its complicated.every time I try to think about it someone walks in and Im distracted. Theres never any time. Im sure every one of you knows all about it. Its the nature of life, too slow and too fast at the same time.
    I dont know where Im going or where I am. Listening to Stereo Hearts by gym class heros for the bit about "appreciate every mix tape your friends make ".

    Sorry Widdershins. :(
    As I eluded to in my TH post the other day, my mother will die in 2020, possibly early 2020 judging by the state of her recently. The only real advice I can give you, and I'm sure you already know this, is to let him know how much he means to you and give him a hug every time you see him. And if you ever want anyone to talk to I am only ever a PM away.

    Thanks Guy. I told him my friends have had an awful habit of dying this year and maybe I've killed him. He laughed. I can never think of the right words, Im sorry. My heart goes out to you.

    It sounds like you did say the right thing. Dark humour like that between people who are close in moments of sadness/crisis can be some of the funniest times. It releases tension and bonds people even more I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,430 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Widders and Guy, my heart goes out to both of you. It's an awful place to be and very hard to get your head around it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Im in bed having a cry, trying to get it out of the way quickly as hes giving me his time messaging me at the moment. Its a bit heart breaking because hes been trying to leave us all with advice for the future. Very good advice. But he should be looking forward to his future. This is what nicotine is for, pulling yourself together.
