    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.

    @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

    Lovely relaxing morning watching Goliath and scoffing black pudding and potato cakes and eggs. Out soon for the shopping and MIGHT be tempted to finally end my sober run and indulge in some craft beers. Not for the taste or the enjoyment of course but solely to show my support for the craft beer brewing industry and the economy in general and stuff..... So I might buy 6 of them :pac:
    Here's a question, what do you do now during Covid with those fiddly little plastic bags that you put the fruit and veg into?
    I was in the supermarket yesterday and picked a bunch of vine tomatoes and so I got one of the wee plastic bags to slip them into but of course as usual the stupid bag wouldn't open so I instinctively went to quickly lick my finger-tip as you do, in an effort to get the top of the plastic bag to separate and open. But of course I forgot I had my face mask on.
    So basically I looked like I was putting my finger up to my mouth for no reason. A woman and her kid were passing by as I did it so it looked like I was telling them to shush :D
    How dare they talk to each other while shopping in tescos anyway!!! A place of worship it is.
    Anyway, 30 seconds of frantically rubbing the bag eventually paid dividends and a fine bunch of tomatoes were purchased but it's a sad end for the auld finger-tip licking trick. A sad end indeed.
    God damn you Covid!! You've already taken away so much from us but this is one step too far!!!!!

    Twas the weather brought me here today! Snow!

    Actually I am in the safest place in the whole of Ireland. No one is allowed to come here.... I was just thinking that the only time I have been offisland in nearly 2 1/2 years was the Rescue 118 "medical evacuation" last year.

    So no covid; no masks... I chat to the ferryman over the gate occasionally - neither of us masked so we keep remembering and backing away!

    The other day the postman shouted at the gate. he leaves mail in a bag there and has my written authority to sign for anything that needs it in case I am abed. So he never calls out.

    I called from the door but by the time I had thrown clothes on he was driving away. I think he had been alerted that no one had seen me recently! Amazing! I realised later I had not updated my weblog for days so someone missed me .

    Not doing well healthwise anyways but there we are.. when the weather warms up life will be easier. For all of us.

    My own little feline lady is back to herself now, thankfully.
    Took her 24 hours to come round fully after it.

    To thine own self be true

    Couchside at my folk's house

    just an update about the vaccine and how I felt after it, when I went to bed on Thursday night, a migraine, feeling shivery, aches and pains, and coughing developed during the night. Was vomiting with my migraine for most of yesterday, was considering care doc as I couldn't keep down fluids, but thankfully it settled down. My migraine eventually went about half 10 pm on Friday. The other symptoms went away over the course of the day yesterday, aside from a cough. Over the worst of it thankfully but feel quite wiped out
