It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

For my week off one of the mornings (weather permitting of course) I’m planning on going to Portmarnock beach to watch the sunrise and then go for a walk.
Also planning on going on a hike. Essentially I’m planning on getting out as much as I can that week haha.
I love a bit of hiking, especially this time of year. We're very lucky to have Connemara on our doorstep so we would usually get out a lot. Sometimes we try and time it to see the sun set.
If the new guidelines had come in before I had secured a job, I'd probably be feeling very bleak right now. A neighbour was out for their walk this evening while I was walking the dog, so had a quick chat. They said they needed to get out for some fresh air, their head was fried from listening to all the doom and gloom talk on the radio. I suggested Lyric FM for some easy listening. The only time the radio changes station in our house from Lyric FM is when Christmas FM goes live

I'm glad a few of you are feeling more positive (for want of a better word!) at the moment.
I flip flop from mood to mood, the uncertainty is awful and yearning for normality is sad.
Even when I visited the BT Christmas shop, I felt a tinge of sadness that I was masked and sanitised, whereas this time last year everything was normal.
Holidays this year were a write off, but at least we can plan for a not normal Christmas, and start planning work arounds and different activities. A nice walk on a winter's evening, admiring people's trees can be done under any circumstances.
Aching with you all; here on this small island we are away from it all. The only mask I have seen is the new post lady yesterday. I keep one by the door but the only time I needed was when I was airlifted to hospital weeks ago,
It is a different world out there, and each of us can help by complying
I never connected with social media; the covid threads here are more than enough.
Having lost a loved on to covid…
Yesterday my shopping came; comes over on the ferry every 2 weeks . Whoever picked and packed … 12 tins of catfood instead of 48... and 2 huge expensive bacon joints instead of rashers.. and some other serious errata!
Thankfully I have spare as I am equipped for a siege.
But thanks to this thread I can now get treats from amazon? Not very good at all that; somehow I now own 20 pairs of socks! I think that was ebay; grand total of less than E14 !Not sure how I did that...
But yes; a lovely Christmas, and like when I was young. Going for a walk looking at lights in windows was a favourite pastime0 -

Give my love to Connemara! I lived atop of Glencoghan a while I cannot walk far these days but I have the ocean at my back door here so abundant fresh air
I have no radio or TV and no social media. Just the internet. I check the online news a few times a day but that is all. We were not made to take on the world's troubles; just our own.
And we will come out of all this stronger with each other's help0 -

Happy Friday Elves, what has everyone planned for their weekend?
Pizza tonight for us as its been a strange week, planning on walks over the weekend and maybe light the stove tomorrow... light candles get the house all cosy and probably a take away, Full roast with all the trimmings Sunday
I have to powerwash the back patio tomorrow. Just a few housekeeping things to get done this week, want to get them all done before my week off. So that week is as relaxing as it can be.
It's Friday Fajitas tonight in my house, homemade Chicken Satay tomorrow and Full roast with all the trimmings Sunday too 0 -

I've a weekend of IKEA building. Overhauling a little elf's bedroom as a surprise.
Right now with Halloween being scuppered, he could do with a boost. I finished sewing the soft furnishings this week and the last of the bits for the room will arrive on Wednesday. I am ridiculously excited for him to see it!
For the past few years I've been gradually building a 'nice' dinner set and serving stuff. Nothing fancy, just plain white ones from Amazon or Dunnes, but they all match and aren't chipped so are posh for me
I've my Christmas PJs ordered, and will review my Christmas Manual to see what long life stuff I can start getting into the cupboards.0 -
