Had a great nights sleep and decided to head to the beach

Nothing like listening and watching the ocean

Going to venture to Maxi zoo on the way home to pick up more wild bird supplies

Happy Saturday!!!!

I just love my office view. If you look closely at the mountains you can see a road that goes from 7000 feet down to sea level. Have driven it once and it’s as scary as .....

Reminds me of some of the roads my dad used to drive when I was still in school in Austria. Narrower, with steeper gradients and less safety infrastructure, but generally similar.

Oh, did I mention that he regularly hit 120 on these roads? Pretty exhilarating experience

Saturday nights I think it was. Mammy and me in the sitting room. She would be in the armchair pulled in to the fire and I'd be on the sofa pulled in near her. Good memories.

Gremlinertia · 03-10-2020 08:26PM

Ah yes, he was in little house on the prarie too. A weekend with michael landon :pac:

Nice memories mate, that's the stuff you cherish.

I remember Highway to heaven myself too, like you said it brings back memories.
It was often on when visiting my Granny, as soon as I hear mention of it now I'm transported back in time to my Granny's house, it's weird how certain songs/shows/etc can send you back in time.
Catchphase used to be on a lot on Sundays too and again sends me back to my Granny's house and I have vivid memories of my parents and my Uncles/Aunts all sitting round with hangovers reluctantly shouting at the telly Sunday afternoon. Say what you see!
As a kid the huge one for me was the music from BBC Grandstand, it was on Saturday mornings and the theme tune was brilliant, as soon as I'd hear that music I was flying down the stairs and that made the weekend for me.
Then the other side of the coin was Glenroe.
God you'd hear that dreary monotonous Glenroe music of a Sunday evening and it would send a shiver down yer spine. It signalled weekend over, school tomorrow and whatever Biddey and Miley were about to get up to was largely irrelevant and paled into insignificance compared to thoughts of Monday at school and homework you hadn't done.
The weird thing about all thee memories is that most of us would swap adulthood in a heart beat to be back there again for a day, I know I would anyway.

I thought I was the only one who associated the Glenroe theme with the dread of no homework done! It seems everyone was as bold as I was.

That and the antiques roadshow theme.

I remember saying it to himself (who is a nerd) and the look of pure horror on his face

.... Eh sorry, I'd better things to be doing.... Grand though as he now doesn't trust me with anything educational for the kids so he deals with the school stuff

Nelly Olsen was on the six o clock show during the week, well worth a watch.

I just walked to the shop and for the 30 mins I was out there was only about 10 cars passed by ,there was one car in the carpark and the shop was empty apart from myself, the shop assistant and the other customer, so unusual for any night but particularly a Saturday night. Normally its non stop traffic and you wouldn't get a parking space and the shop would be packed mainly people buying drink. It's like a full lockdown, even now there's hardly a car passing, it kind of freaked me out, it's very eerie.
Couchside, waiting for the troops to come back from a match, heating on,having a glass and watching Succession..boring tbh.

Relaxing at home after doing the Chair of an online AA meeting.

That was my 5th time chairing an AA meeting - I have come such a long long way in the past three years. Happy, healthy and sober.

I'm delighted it's quiet whereever you are, hope the same can be said around the country.

Watching "Inside I'm Dancing' on TG4 and getting all nostalgic for Dublin in the noughties....

Jupiter, well done to you. You've every reason to feel proud of yourself and it's good to see you take stock and acknowledge your achievement, too.
