Triple vaccinated with a PCR test result and we were still given medical bracelets and a 7 day hotel quarantine. We only stayed 16 hours so we had to get released from that legal quarantine and get the bracelets cut off.

Picture a very dark ocean, in this case the Indian Ocean about 200 miles south of Oman. This is apparently part of the Chinese fishing fleet that is hoovering up the fish in our oceans. I could see about a 100 of these lights.

Deskside, work trundle. Have a big tack of student assignments to get marked before the end of the week. Joy of joys!!

Hope to knock off a bit early and get some Christmas shopping done later.... 😁

After an éclair and coffee, and I realise I'm addicted to amazon. Latest books for the kids is Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I read it many ,many years ago and loved it. I've bloody so many books got these last few months I need to start reading them. I know when I do start I'll fly through them

Deskside drinking a nice festive coffee. It’s the little things. Have a good day one and all.

Gremlinertia

Definitely taking a hip flask of baileys with me to dose my latte. Seasons shenanigans all.

Chilling on the sofa here, night owl mode as I’m having a lie in tomorrow before attacking another stack of student assignments.

Met up with a couple of friends in town, one on them is expecting next Spring. Was great to catch up! 👍👍🥰

My beard is coming along nicely for the festive season. My OH is even beginning to tolerate it...lol 😎😁😁😜

You should have dyed those grey spots 😀😀😀😀

smurfjed

@autosport, that’s so bloody true.

smurfjed

@JK, So what’s the plan, grey or not?

My usual Friday enjoyment, old meets new.

First time that I have seen the new Bronco, but at €70,000, it seems expensive

Gremlinertia

That bronco doesn't really stand out?

Dublin Airport T2, waiting for my plane to the US of A. Getting a COVID test the day before was a pain, but it’s been a pretty painless experience after that. They said to arrive 4h before the flight; I arrived 3h before, check-in took about 5 minutes, sauntered through security, had a cappuccino at Butler’s, browsed the Duty-Free, went through US Preclearance, and still got to the gate 2h before flight time. Hurry up and wait, it’s called.
