Reasons To Be Cheerful

Cool. OH must be a bit of a baby. Or just fancied a Saturday afternoon nap and had a handy excuse!

I genuinely laughed out loud at that.

My Mrs had already warned me that just because we'd heard others had felt symptoms after their 2nd jab that I wasn't to assume I would too & plan for a handy day :pac: All messing aside, I was fine but have heard from others that genuinely struggled for a day or 2 after it.

See Stephen Donnelly has announced from next week 18-34 year olds can get the Janssen jab from participating pharmacies... the rollout is flying now, brilliant to see.

Reason to be cheerful.
Just back from a lovely family meal out. Having a great time, lots of laughing and the boys were not bickering for once. Then the waiter came over to tell us that someone had paid our bill (over €100!). They said they'd just had some really good news that had been a long time coming and picked our table to pay for because we looked like such a nice family having a wonderful evening.
Made my evening with the compliment alone, never mind paying the bill.
Left a big tip and will pay it forward somehow.

Thats unreal. Sounds like a cracking night with the family too.

^ That made me smile

Got my car insurance quote today €946.Daylight robbery.

Rang around and got it for 451.Much cheaper than last year even!

It's absolutely roasting here already! Kids already out in the paddling pool! We're heading to Tayto Park on Monday so really looking forward to that!

Either way, done now, & in 7 days will be safe as they come!!

Cracker of a day and it’s Friday 😁😁

Cheers all!

2nd vaccination received this morning. Stiffness in my arm starting to take effect but was expecting that as had it with the first, other than that feeling grand. Got mine 4 days before I would have been due.

Until we get dark mode it's a struggle for me, the white screens are terrible on the eyes. Editing quotes would be useful, as would bolding unread threads with new posts, a 'my forums' list would be handy too.

The big thing seems to be that it just feels less inviting to post, I used to love checking in here and chatting about Christmas but I'm not getting that warm fuzzy feeling atm. Maybe it's because less posters have rejoined yet or something... I'm sure it'll settle down over time and as long as the gangs all here, we'll be grand.

I use desktop mostly myself, you still have the 24 hour edit function though. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your post & it brinsg up the edit box indicating the amount of time you have left to edit.

The weather should be enough of a reason to be cheerful 🌞

Have my niece over for the afternoon so she'll keep my youngest occupied and away from a screen. Then her parents are staying for a BBQ when they collect her. More normality, sitting around, chatting to people - all fully vaccinated. Much needed at this stage.

That the MRNA vaccine? Brilliant if so. Have heard of a few in their early twenties getting the J&J one but not the Pfizer or moderna ones... if we're doing people that young already it's a really good sign.

I wish someone would tell NPHET that though... they seem happy to reinforce the fear propaganda atm.

Brilliant stuff. At one stage it was reported Meath was miles off the pace (live on the Dublin, Meath, Kildare border myself) so they've caught up fast by the looks of it. It genuinely cheers me up to see our vaccination programme being such a success.

Careful... its us True blue Dubs out on the borders holding back the culchie hoard!! 😃

Did I read that right, Christmas party on Tuesday 😍😍😍😍 Enjoy and be merry 😉👍

Heading to Mayo for the week, leaving in a couple of hours in fact. Looking forward to a hotel stay too, can avail of the bar and restaurant which will be a most pleasant change... might even be able to avail of normal indoor hospitality come Monday too as we all have our covid digital certs 😀

Getting my first pfizer jab today:)
