Needed to buy a rain jacket as I didn’t have one, all my other coats are good for cold but not rain. I said I’d have a look in Superdry as they were having a sale. Got a lovely jacket that should’ve been €95 for €56. Bargain!

I bought a jacket from them yesterday that was marked down from 160 to 80 plus an extra 20% off with a coupon code. well happy.

Blinded by the Light was very good.

Youngest daughter (13) came in to say goodnight. "Give the old man a hug" says I. She did, saying "You're not old."

Brilliant. Made my night.

My friend's cheeky brother made a song up about/for me and sang it to me last night. He more plagiarised bits of a coldplay and nick cave song actually. I'm sure they'd be honoured though.

Meeting a cat I christened "Italian Kitty" while away in Italy for my brothers wedding, I got to play with them for a good hour until they lost interest, my mam called me "Oh look K at whats outside the window" and there was a beautiful kitty sitting down looking up at us, well I nearly jumped out the window to get to them :pac: , I went down to them and they came running over to me purring mad and they let me rub them and they were rolling on there backs and then I found a stick and was playing with and they were mad trying to catch the stick , they were lying by a pole that had white cloth on it and then they started pawing at that and kicking it made my day!

Absolutely . Now others need to follow suit , ban the horror from Dubrovnik and Nice and other ports too . They are a menace in my opinion

All those folk who cannot see these wonderful places... They are there for all us not to be mothballed. A shame

Do you mean those on the cruise liners ? Of course they see Venice or Dubrovnik but the cruise ships can dock elsewhere . They dont have to dock right in the cities

This weather makes me very happy ( we have for once been spared the lightning and the worst of the deluges) A wild fresh wind that has blown the humidity away.. sitting abed here with the door wide open revelling in it.... walked down the field with my usual feline entourage, picking the first home blackberries to add to the (shop bought ) strawbs marinating in sugar for jam. ate my total home crop last week.. TWO berries! Such intense flavour..

EXACTLY!! These places have been visited for years without having giant floating hotels vomiting people into them while being anchored in canals and harbours designed for waaaay smaller vessels.

MY TH: I ordered a hardback book online a while back, it was on special offer. I collected it today, and when I opened it it turned out to be a first edition, and signed by the author, too!! \o/

I was in Venice last year, having not visited for almost 20 years, and the cruise ships were appalling. There is no need for them to dock right up to the main islands.

Delighted to hear they are to be banned.

Venice now compared to what it was 20 years ago is like a theme-park version of itself, IMO. But that should be something for the TA thread, really.

Putting on a new pair of trainers and doing my longest run ever (by just a little bit)..not bad considering the wind and rain, it rained for every second of it..

Going to the bar now to celebrate and watch the gaelic football...

Yesterday my daughter with special needs asked if she could go to the Disney Store for her birthday in October. She has no idea that in fact she will be going to Disneyland Paris! Trying to decide how we will tell her!

eurozonelady · 11-08-2019 12:25AM

Ice cubes in a drink when it´s a really really hot day and you´re sweating and gasping!!

Despite the torrential rain I managed to get a PB in the Streets of Galway 8km this evening and friends have been super supportive of me. It hurt from start to finish and I wanted to collapse at the end of it but the feeling of setting a goal and crushing it outweighs everything.

My drive and ambition to reach my goals and improve makes me happy. Mediocre is not good enough. I’ve set so many goals for myself this year with running and I’ve met them all so far. Confidence is through the roof right now

Also, messaging a cute boy. Butterflies are awesome.

Hearing and occasionally seeing the bats flitting about the garden at night.

People who display manners which unfortunately is becoming the exception rather than the norm. :rolleyes:

Amen to this.

Standing in the back field on the edge of the mighty ocean letting the strong wind buffet me and almost blow through me, and feeling the sun on my face.

Seeing white tipped waves and hearing the rocks being crushed against each other.. purple heather and wild flowers.. Cats literally bouncing and bounding over the grass rather than running...

Loving the approach to autumn and air that is clean and dry ... Air that has a crispness to it...

Making strawberry jam with a handful of the first blackberries in it and gathering rose hips every day.

Loving this peaceful, remote place more and more ...

Widdershins · 12-08-2019 04:23PM

Arranging my wardrobe.
Easing into Autumn and enjoying the pretty changes around me (now that the epic rains stopped).
Finally able to concentrate on a book (it took until page 154)

Hooray....i got my bicycle trailer today.:D

Invested 7,80€ into the trailer hitch and 3,99€ into a new inner tube for one of the 12“ wheels. The trailer itself was for free. Could just rescue it before it was dumped. Friend of mine is only using his self built heavy duty xxl trailer for transporting two of his kids plus the weekly shopping for six. So my little black box was destined to go to scrap.:eek:

Ok, i can feel that one of the small wheel axles is not exactly centered. But who cares...it works! I hardly feel the weight after the first 12km test run. Had to look back all the time to make sure if it’s still there.

Yay, i can transport two sixpacks of these big 1,5l bottles and a bit more in it. And the towing axle leaves enough room above the luggage rack for two conventional side bags as well. Just needs a little bit of cleaning and adjusting tomorrow. I’m already in love with it.:)

My next door neighbor, an elderly lady, has problems to do her shopping. On a bad day even her rollator is no help. So may be i can repay all the nice cakes i got from her over the years with a little shopping tour for her if need be.

What should i call him? “Bonsai Donkey” or “Little Donk”? Who remembers the real “Donk”?
