Thinking of doing likewise but fear its a waste of time.



Was there anything to buy ?

Just back from Dunnes here in Ballincollig. They're almost fully stocked. Soap/Sanitizer products are visibly decimated, and the pasta selection is also a bit anaemic, but apart from that, it looks like a normal day. It's noticeably less busy than usual though.

Email today to say I'm working from home for the next 2 weeks. "Working"

Duvet, think twice about the pub as your dad might need you in the coming weeks. I'm waiting on a total lockdown and armageddon.

Forget the loo roll folks, stockpile the alcohol.

Thanks Thomil

Reading emails.

Do people feel a lockdown's imminent? In Italy theyve been serenading passersby or neighbours from their balconies. Wonder what the Irish version would be...


Now I'm close to certain. Apparently a mild conjunctivitis is a cv19 symptom. I had that all week. I never have eye problems.
Feel totally better now though. Great night of fever dreams sorted me out.

Just back from Portlaoise. Got my hair done. Went for dinner. Went to tesco. The place was a disgrace. Bare enough shelves. Travellers causing ructions in the shopping centre. Standard day in Portlaoise.

We got a new family member today, one of my nephews and his Mrs had a baby girl.
Sitting watching the boss baby and bored.

Witchie

In bed in my temporary new gaff. Things are strained between me and the fella coz I couldn't live in the other place any longer. He let me move into one of his airbnbs for now. It's a studio apartment but it's comfy and at least I can use the pool and come and go without getting dirty looks or fear of questions.

Needed out of the other place for mental health more than anything. Now am city centre and have everything I love in easy access but have decided to isolate as now have a sore chest and seem to be coughing.

To be quite honest , to say that it was a " standard day " in Portlaoise is a gross misrepresentation imo . It may have been like that today while you were there , but I've never witnessed it happening .

Home , fires lit , nearly time to sit down and relax .

Cheers Leggy,definitely no pub today or obviously the foreseeable, house absolutely scrubbed from top to bottom, everything has been bleached and scrubbed and yet I feel its just delaying the inevitable, I'll snap out of this form I know but the thought of work next week is worrying.

My parents are doing great, man doesn't seem to concerned but my dad definitely is,strange as I would have thought it would be the other way around.

Big battle here with one kid/adult...wants to go to his buddy's house with the lads,I've argued that this is absolutely crazy ,its a nightmare of an age to deal with but they're not stupid, so bloody annoying tbh.

Is it just me, or is the internet painfully slow today?

I'm trying to curb the boredom eating.
I fear the next step is online shopping.

It's a really really difficult time and I'm making preps to shoot or disembowl anyone who even fooking thinks about doing me harm in any way. Despite the smilie, I mean it.:D

So no need to give an absolute fook about anything. Portlaoise is still a cool enough town though. Didn't deserve the criticism it got despite the impending Zombie warfare.:D

Evening all . Couchside finally just going taking my meds that make my immune system sh*ter than it already is , Been keeping to myself and not going out much trying to stay safe as I’m in the “at risk “ group as my doc says .

Cheers Mam!

I have a great recipe that I'm sure I mentioned here. Someone reminded me on another thread. Rendang. Jaysus Mam it's some effort. I drank about 10 bottles of Heineken watching this guy make it. I've done cheat versions, but his was epic. Think I may have sculled 10 more bottles after it and got up for work. Tube not the car.:D

I'll pop the recipe up on an appropriate thread at some point.

The worst thing about Portlaoise is


You don’t have me That could also be a good thing




I loves you all ((Hugs))

Still couchside watching The Voice, what kind of suit is Tom Jones wearing :eek:

Haha auto.
I’ve lived long enough in Portlaoise to have formed my opinion on it, fantastic if it’s not the general consensus. Only last month a lady got milk thrown all over her and her car in the underground carpark, and sure look between Knockmay and the white city I’m sure someone could write a book.


I am out. Out out.
