I'd say winning an All Ireland club is something else in terms of excitement esp a whole village been invested

That I seem to be back to normal hours for sleeping etc . It coincides with my bowel / stomach movements being better. It dawned on me reading my posts in the etiquette . Happy days 😷

edit , I was putting it down to having a few Guinness nitro surge cans . It may have did the trick

I have long been a fan of foreign language drama, since moving back its been mostly on BBC/Channel 4,

that th about this is that the majority of the theme tunes are wonderful pieces of music, not at all the kind of thing heard on us/gb progs.

Makes tuning in a kind of occasion really.

When people just overstep the mark allowing you to see the ‘real’ them, the real agenda, goes for businesses too. 💁🏻‍♂️

Ah , I remember back in the day watching foreign language films on channel 4 late at night. They even put a red triangle on the screen so you knew it was good 😷

The stand back and admire moment when you've done something, whether it's redecorating or just giving a room a good clean.

Tried to start a new thread like this but was kindly informed of this one! :L

January is cold and dark. I need lose weight for my health and I need to save money for many reasons! Without indulging in food the way I usually do and without spending on online shopping, coffees and entertainment I'm feeling a bit flat! So I thought I'd ask: what small things do you do each day/week that bring you joy?

I made a beef curry in the slow cooker yesterday, TH that I had to deviate from the recipe a bit due to what I did or didn't have at home but it turned out absolutely delicious. Also TH I'll be having some more of it at lunch time 😁

I'm flying to Chicago and back in April, Aer Lingus, and on the way back I upgraded to Business Class. I can never sleep on planes because the seats don't recline much, so I'll find out whether I can sleep, flat, after a nice meal and drinks. I got one of the best seats, a "throne seat" with no seat neighbour and extra space on both sides.

The only disappointment was to do with the Swissport Business Class lounge at O'Hare T5, the one used by many airlines and which is the worst-reviewed airline lounge I've seen. I looked at pictures and reports, and it's really bad.

Well, Aer Lingus just emailed to say that they're moving to T3 at O'Hare, before my flight, and Aer Lingus Business Class passengers will be able to use the American Airlines Flagship lounge, which is much better. It's a trivial thing if you fly Business Class all the time, but this will be my first time. Happy.

I normally go home for lunch but I enjoy heading out with a few work colleges on Fridays. We rotate between different places for Mexican, Falafel, Burgers, Asian etc. with new places being tried occasionally. I like having something to look forward to. Keeps me motivated, I think.

I got my good winter coat out of the wardrobe. It is down filled and super warm. I could probably walk to the North Pole in it. The TH is I found 15 euro in the pocket

I deprive myself of way too much to keep in some sort of shape but I'll make an exception for that.

Be warned, it's a slippery slope.

You might be better off getting something less addictive....like crack cocaine or something 🙊🙊

Last night at about 3:40am i could see nice moonlight coming in through the curtains so had a look out the bedroom window and could see both the moon and Jupiter. I don't know what it is, but it's a nice feeling when it's that time of the year You can hardly see the moon from my Bedroom, so it's nice when it happens.

The M7 /M8.

I have been doing a return journey to Cork from North Kildare a few times a week lately and the motorway is just a dream. In earlier years I negotiated the old road regularly on my way from Dublin to west Cork. One could trail a lorry for mile upon mile without getting a safe opportunity to overtake and Dublin to Cork city could take 4 hours or more, depending on the traffic in every town and village on the way.

So I am happy to pay the tolls on these trips. The fuel saving would easily cover the cost and the road is so much safer.

But I do find road tolls are unfair, as some roads are toll free while others will have them forever.

When you manage to open the string on a sack of potatoes, or coal , and it unravels happily the first time! Simple things!

In the old frugal days that string was carefully kept in the miscellaneous drawer and had numerous uses.
