    A woman I only know to say hello to at the school run stopped me yesterday to tell me how she’s always loved my makeup and to ask am I a professional makeup artist.

    I’m not, but I’ve been smiling since I spoke to her :D

    The smell of an apple tart baking. I don't like Christmas cake or pudding, but apple tart and custard, yum.

    TH to have a great gang of friends, we all met up in the local yesterday afternoon for Christmas end of work drinks, the place was buzzing, amazing for a small rural country pub on a Friday afternoon, jukebox playing Christmas songs, roaring fire going, went in there at 2 pm and left it at 7.30 and it was starting to get even busier with an evening crowd arriving, love where I live, yes we're miles from anywhere but wouldn't change it for the world.

    I got my cat a present too but he usually has no interest in the toys we get him so I'm pretty sure this year will be no different. Ah the things we do for them :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,783 ✭✭✭GoneHome

    I got her this play fishing rod type thing, I don't know it looked interesting but she never really has interest in such things, plays with them for a five minutes and that's it, she'd much prefer a leg of chicken :D

    I was given a beautiful red hardback book of love poems this afternoon. There was no occasion. Gifts given for “no occasion” are always pretty special.

    I’m floating on air now!

    I only learned this year that while December 22nd is the shortest day of the year, December 12th has the earliest sunset so that by Christmas day, there is a stretch in the evenings. Usually the weather is so sh!te at this time of year you wouldn't notice it but the weather has been so mild that you definitely can.

    I've actually enjoyed this Autumn/Winter. Last year is rained pretty much from September to April and there was storm after storm. This year hasn't been hard at all. October was warm, November had some cold days and yes it's raining in December but I don't feel it's as harsh as last year.

    My young fella was born two weeks ago, yesterday, meaning my paternity leave runs right up to the start of Christmas holidays.

    Also, doing the early night shift minding him and catching up on 'First Dates with his baby snores in the background.

    Watching Pat Shortt's music on d'telly.. My god I say it every week but the musical talent in Ireland down through the years is fantastic.. Thin Lizzy being my all time favourite band but love them all from the Fureys to Aslan, Sinéad ó Connor etc.

    Some black and white footage from years ago of little children asking Santa for such simple presents.. Operation, a digital watch, surprises, when did it all go mad? One gorgeous little fella about 5yrs old asking for a wigwam.. So cute.. I'm teary eyed here tbh.. Oh having a wine too lol.
