I've deleted that comment. No lottery wins for anyone else, Cork Lass and myself are taking it all. 😁

Yes, weather was fab and we all had a great day! It was my little boy's first big event and we was as good as gold...so proud of him! Naíonra also went very well today, he didn't want to leave!!!, so a great few days altogether 😄

As @TRS30 said, it was a fantastic weekend for a wedding. A colleague of mine got married in Dublin on Saturday - would be a scream if it was the same wedding. Exciting times ahead for you if he's starting preschool in Sept 😀.

Where did the sunshine go? Can feel the chill in the air today.

Had a quiet weekend, watched the Leinster match - that hurt! Now just trying to plan what to do to the house. But I don't want to start anything until the one we tried to buy is definitely sold as it fell through 3 times already and I'm not investing in upgrades until that one is completely off the cards. Unfortunately I'm not very patient and the wait is doing my head in.

Awh wasn't in Dublin unfortunately, it was in Kilkenny 😀

Yep, he's starting preschool and baby 2 will be arriving in early August so it'll be a busy month!!

I thought yesterday evening was like a winters evening, def chill in the air. Hope everything works out for you on the house front @tscul32 .

Morning all

Back to a nice bright start here.

Still think Tuesday or worse then Mondays! Mondays always seem to fly by while Tuesday can drag abit. At least we have a long weekend to look forward to.

Morning All,

Had a very busy Monday so didn't get to check in yesterday. Glad all had a good weekend. We had a family communion party on Sunday which was lovely! First time we've had a proper shindig with extended family in a loooong time - it was lovely to catch up with everyone! Weather played ball too!

Nice start to the day here but not sure if it will stay that way!

Yea, start to get very dark here. Just checked and says rain all afternoon :(

Just so long as we get something decent for the bank holiday, fingers crossed! 🤞

On my way back from westport, rain is chasing me all the way home.

Lashing here now as well. Chalk & cheese weather wise from this morning to afternoon!

I heard the weekend is forecast to be good though.

Hard to belive tomorrow is the first of June already guys.

I know, first 5 months have gone in a flash. Days will be getting shorter in 3 weeks.

Down with that sort of talk 😋 I'm not ready to think of darker evenings yet!

DvB

@TRS30 lets not dampen the spirits now 😉 looking forward to plenty more long bright evenings & mornings too. Sure beats driving into & home from work in the middle of the night!

Into the middle 2 months all the same, that has gone by so quickly its hard to believe. If the next 5 go that fast it'll be adverts time before we know it!!

TRS30

My bad, was more the shock that we have got here so quickly!

I love the long summer evenings as much as anyone. Giving the back garden a make over so looking forward to lots of nice sunny summer evenings out BBQ'ing.

jellybear

@TRS30 I love the darker evenings so I didn't mind your post 🤣

miamee

The weather here was shociking yesterday as well, a lot of rain. However today is looking better and more importantly Saturday is forecast to be dry and sunny - we're going to the Wild Roots festival for the day so the drier the better!

TRS30

Morning all

Another beautiful start here however rain forecast for late afternoon/evening. Must try to get out at lunchtime for a walk and take advantage.

Thursday already and long weekend on the horizon.

Posy

Yes, it's a lovely morning- much easier to get out of bed when it's bright and sunny! 🌞

I've had an uncharacteristically productive morning, already done a big Boots shop and treated myself to a McDonalds pancakes and syrup breakfast before work. Roll on the long weekend, I'm glad I don't work in the airport. 😂

You're making me feel like a sloth for only sitting at my desk and working!!

Hopefully all goes Ok up there, a feel for the poor people with kids who are queuing for hours.

gidget

Heading out there soon for my flight to Edinburgh - flights at 19.35. Have checked in online but have a bag to drop off so have to allow the extra time for that alongside the 2 and a half hours. I’m actually more anxious about whether my bag will arrive on the other side than the queues.

TRS30

Best of luck @gidget- hopefully you wouldn't be queuing too long and you (and your bag) have a safe trip. Enjoy Edinburgh.

tscul32

Would love to be heading away @gidget. Edinburgh is a lovely city, enjoy.

Enjoy your weekend gidget - Edinburgh is a fantastic city to visit.

That went quite smoothly - bag checked in & through security within 30 mins. I did notice a group of staff at check-in with an instructor looked like they were preparing & going over instructions for tomorrow onwards & a lot of guys directing traffic at the set down stops also.
