The groceries and my prescription meds got across just before the wind started to rise... met ie once again have ireland encircled with blue and yellow stripes, to change to all yellow. First ferry since Wednesday that was and deeply grateful for it.

I can snug back down again.

Managed to wangle a free day tomorrow so hitting town before it gets too manic…finishing Xmas shopping, and dropping into a favourite haunt for food that I’ve not been to for too long..

A quiet island day all on my own doing what I seek to do with no interruptions... Sheer heaven... Abundant food! Let the weather roar and rampage...

I had a really nice dream last night where I was walking along the Clontarf seafront on a nice summer's day with my OH and my dog Toby. There were lots of cool shops and market stalls and there was a great buzz about the place. It was disappointing to wake up from it :(

The sun is shining... bright and beautiful...

Probably more than trivial but after 19 months of trying to get a doctor anywhere I've finally got taken on by one.

And it was no thanks to the system but a chance meeting with one who said they would see what they can do for me.

That I and my furry buddies are all safe and snug with full bellies as the next gale ramps up outside...The wind makes different sounds depending which way it is coming.. fascinating...

Good shopping, helpful staff, stop off in the pub for food on the way home and a sitting down just as the snooker starts. Not too bad.

I brought the elderly uncle to town to do his Christmas shopping. Going into one shop, three teenage boys coming out. They held the door open for uncle, and stood back to let us through.

Well done lads, and thier parents too.

My feet feel great after washing them and rubbing lotion in. They feel lighter and smell lovely.

Extinction rebellion gobshîtes doing a PR video in London… showing themselves up for being real hard of thinking wánkbags .

girl from said organisation throws a tin of yellow paint at a building containing offices of Shell and another company… but she stands about half a meter away and throws the yellow paint at force enabling a good amount or what looked like most of the paint to splash back onto her person / clothing…

in a choreographed manoeuvre that has gone off script or off piste she is encouraged as the next part to move towards the camera to answer questions which she can barely do because of the tears and emotion having made a mess of herself on camera. Brilliant.

This time last yr.. actually since Nov 6th.. it was like Lapland where I live with xmas lights etc,... grrr...

Not the case this year thankfully.. every cloud has its silver lining and all that.. (cost of electricity)..

I don't hate Christmas or anything.. but lights etc up early Nov??!! Thats just numbing..

I'll appreciate them nearer to Christmas.. (like boxes of chocs etc) but less is more..

Part of my happy is that being way out in the boonies I do not see or hear any of this... Christmas here is just that... Except that there are so many special offers on my onlne shopping... Dark and deeply quiet ....

My neighbour didn’t bother getting any planning permission for their Montessori business they are running in their house…it’s a material change of use and would require planning permission. It’s led to major parking problems, entitled parents blocking gates of other properties when waiting for little Johnny or Gemma…. And parking on corners… Residents association given two fingers when politely contacted them…

a while back the property was unexpectedly put on the market and now a sign ‘sale agreed’ up today…. Hopefully ’sold’ soon.

hopefully the pair of grifters get to fûck asap and are replaced by nice considerate people. Playing by the rules.

I bought myself a rechargeable hot water bottle after a nasty incident with an ordinary hot water bottle a few weeks back.

Today, while waiting in the car for uncle at the doctor's, I was warm and toasty. Great yoke!

Spending time with my niece and nephew down the park, getting hugs from the two when I saw them first, even from the little princess who is usually very shy around me but she was all talk today to me 😁 but she scolded me when I asked her could I play with her dollies and said "No! Not for boys!" 😁 The small biyeen was asking me 40 questions "why are there leafs on the ground?" "Why is the moon in the sky ?" "Why is that tree on the ground" "why is that man cutting the grass?" 😁

Time spent with children is so precious, for them and you, they grow up in a flash. I enjoy time with my grandchildren.

I hope you answered all those questions and maybe you could furnish us with the correct explanations!!
