How did they get the dog back up ?

my wireless bluetooth speaker, the sound is incredibly good but a feature I like is you can press a button and an automated voice calls out the remaining battery % which is nifty..I had the previous model and you just had to wait for the amber light and that meant it was about 6 minutes left.

I had a difficult and emotionally bruising meeting with a career teacher and specialist. They asked all the usual questions about the impact of the labels involved but were challenging when they didn't understand the long-term impact of those labels.

I felt so battered and bruised for a few days after, but now I've bounced back I can see that in their annoyance/intolerance/ignorance, they gave me some absolutely vital information and pointers.

While it was an absolutely horrorfest of a meeting, the th is that I have all this current and v v useful info to move forward with.

I was at a training course today and at the end there were dozens of cookies left over, big fresh cookie monster cookies. Trainer said ye may as well take a pile each to save waste so i happily obliged.

Now everything i own seems to smell like cookies, my car, my computer, my carry case.

It's Friday. I get to stay in bed until I want to get up. Then I get to make a nice brekkie for myself. With coffee.

I also just found out a well known DJ is having a garage sale tomorrow. 12"s and 7"s.

was feeling too tired to go to the gym tonight, but went anyway as I didn’t want to miss any of the cricket tomorrow. After 5 minutes on the treadmill, ‘ fuçk, this was a bad idea ‘ but 5 min later again and I was flying, second wind mega recovery, maybe even had the best workout ever, takeaway after and free all day tomorrow to do sfa…

Getting a hair cut has changed since I was a nipper, and for the better I reckon.

Went to a barber today for standard hair and beard cut and it was like a salon treatment. Big comfy chair, scalp tonic, precision cut, moisturiser and a blowdry on the beard before cutting, styled, then aftershave balm, a head massage, a hot towel and cologne.

That doesn't happen everywhere but nice when it does. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh.

Waking up to Sky Arts . Started watching it and now I love these blues / jazz artists

I was about to give up on a Thrustmaster flight stick since one of the axes was malfunctioning, but found that it was a known issue with a fix. I had to disassemble the handle and move one of the wires a bit, but it worked and it’s like new again.

Today’s Tipping Point . A man from Zambia wanted to go home for the first time in 10 years to bring his wife and son to meet their mother in law /grandparents . 6 counters later 10K in the bag .

turned on my games console for the first time in months, first two games of FIFA… I’m shît, getting hammered but the timing and mindset bounces back and a while later I’m beating all comers and climbing the table….

I agree. I started going to a modern salon type place in my local shopping centre during the pandemic just because it was big, airy, spotlessly clean, ventilated and modern … turns out to be the best cut ever…….rarely have to wait, never rushed, they spend ages on your cut always offered a cuppa which I decline anyway…. Just a TH experience…..

Th local Dunnes stores have Alpro nut milks on sale for €1.39 ish. As it's a thicker texture so I can dilute it and so will last longer!!

I used to love that in coffee .

Was washing my hands in the office bathroom today and somebody in a cubicle let a fart that was about 25 seconds long and sounded like a sad ghost falling from a great height.

I'm still laughing to myself

not trivial at all imo but anyway - a friend had 5 of us over for a BBQ - weather was amazing and hostess pulled out all the stops - we ate our fill and had the craic - stayed outside till 8 then moved into the living room for karoke.. but throughout the day I just felt so grateful - for the food, the friendship - the leisure time, the lack of worries - soo blessed we are 💞

I bought an inexpensive Bluetooth keyboard / trackpad combo to use with my Mac when sat back. The trackpad is OK, but the keyboard is much better than I was expecting. Really good feel and response. The layout will take a little getting used to because it's compact , but this is a nice surprise overall.
