I got this the other day. Had no idea. More proof. Damn you all.

Woke can mean being aware of anything really. Its an often used terminology in relation to mind altering drugs for years.

It's particular funny when used in an Irish context.

"Took a bag of mushies and by sunrise I was woke ta'fuck like."

Spoken in a Blindboy Boatclub accent.

In fairness I used to look like Vince Noir Noel Fielding

Only I still have really, really, really ridiculously good hair.

Was snowing as I walked over for lunch as well, doesn't seem to be sticking. Worried about tonight though.

I think the bulk of the snow is supposed to arrive tomorrow night.

Friday looks like the worst at the minute

I'm already clearing my schedule for Thursday and Friday. No point in having a book full of appointments when 90% of them will probably cancel due to the condions (plus the kids will be home due to school closures by then I imagine...cue the "sorry I can't make my appointment coz I've no one to mind the kids!)
