    Delighted to hear your good news, Jupiter, you must both be so relieved. Have a lovely, cosy evening together for yourselves.

    Grumpy back to nearly normal, delighted to be home. The extra sedation is slowly wearing off, so while it's good he's more alert it also means he'll be getting his moan on soon. At least that means he's ok, I suppose!

    They're on offer in Supervalu for €40, six boxes of capsules with it, (I mistakenly thought five!) although I think I'll get fed up playing with it soon too :pac:

    Ah thanks guys for all the lovely words of support. :) Yiz are a sound bunch!

    So...OH is now just back home. I collected him from the Mater. Covid tests showed negative, but the doctors believe it was some sort of viral infection/fever. OH had a whole battery of tests done overnight and initial results - i.e. heart, lungs, etc are all good.

    Hopefully they will get to the bottom of what made him so very ill yesterday.

    Great news..

    Ha! And I hate instant. So a personal espresso machine would probably shoot me down in short order, too. Plus, I like to get my java fix made by some nice college student at a local coffeehouse. My one vice. With atmosphere and new folks to meet (after COVID). :o

    I’m laughing my arse off at this :)
    I bought a Nespresso machine a few months ago and as part of the purchase I got a deal for 100 assorted pods.
    I thought this is great... I’ll try a few out out today, see what they’re like... I must’ve had 12 coffees that evening after work!
    Sipping and tasting like I was an expert :)
    Cue about 4 hours later and I was basically FCUKED from caffeine overload.... :D

    Semi adopted cat asleep on the couch flat out. House cat asleep upstairs. No fights yet. We are feeling really sorry for the new cat. Used to belong to my sister around the corner. They are so full of crap to abandon an animal like that. Mrs G is gonna sleep on the couch to check her check out time from hotel G!:D

    Peed off here, I paid 20e for a phone charger yesterday ( cable no plug), I usually buy cheap ones but not this time, now I think it's a problem either with the port or the plug because it's not charging unless I have it in a certain position and the phone keeps saying check your charger. Ffs I should have just bought a cheapie.

    @Mam, there's a series on Sky Crime called The Real Manhunter ,3rd episode on Sunday night, I love it and think you might enjoy it, an retired UK detective detailing how he solved different cases, really interesting.

    Couchside, no wine, feeling a bit sicky, 17k steps for me today, it's either a feast or a famine, I'll probably do 500 tomorrow lol.

    Grumpy in bed snoring away. He became very unsettled after all that sedation eventually worked out of his system. Finally, peace restored.

    Chilling by watching Fontaines at Kilmainham.

    Nah . Blow it out with air. The cheap ( € shop ) leads do more harm than good. Bing it back but don't get the pound shop tat

    @duvet day, does the phone support wireless charging ?

    Nespresso time for me with some nice cream.

    @mam, get de-caf coffee so you can enjoy coffees in the afternoon.

    This country just went from 5 million to 6 million vaccinations in the last 5 days, and it looks like the next million will be done in 4 days. Primarily thanks to the Serum Institute of India with their production of AstraZeneca.

    Munich and then Marrakesh.

    Munich is much more fun outside the festival time unless drunken debauchery is your thing :)

    Used to spend a lot of time in Marrakesh, beautiful place.

    For me, it has to be the Balkans, all the countries between Europe and Turkey, I’m kinda biased as most of my colleagues are from there and have shown me lovely photographs.

    I don't think so Smurf, it's a Samsung 8+ , so not very new. I think the problem is with the port as I tried another charger from a laptop last night and same issue, it has to be in a certain position while it's charging, very annoying.

    Another complete coffee addict here, just have instant at home but get at least one takeaway a day, I love the flat white ones. The problem is that I'm getting into the habit of getting a cake with the coffee so my walks are doing no good for my waistline, meeting my friend this morning so it will be more takeaway, no wonder there's a coffee shop/ van every hundred yards and they're all busy, I think we're all addicted lol.

    Still bedside, chilly but nice morning, have a great Saturday lads.

    My present work partner is addicted to Starbucks, regardless of the time of day, he has to stop in Starbucks on the way to the airport, he is totally incapable of working without it, and nicotine :)

    I had the S7.. that had wireless charging, I believe all Samsungs have it from.then on.
    But one tip is to get a darning needle, and gently scrape inside the charging point on the phone..all' around...it collects lint, dust, any pocket fluff at all..
    That could sort it out for you
