I know what you mean, when your colon has that “just-brushed feeling”. You feel lighter. ☺️
Warning - don 't read this if your eating.. etc..
One thing that makes me happy in the AM is when I have a good healthy "motion" if you know what I mean.. a super way to kick off the day..
Some might think it crude of me to post this.. but good bowel movements are incredibly important for good health.. and I do feel better after one.. so yeah.. healthy bowels.. happy me..
Picked up my guitar for the first time in about a month: it was perfectly in tune. 🎸
Today was officially the first day where there was a stretch in the Morning. Looking forward to that increasing each day.
Quote of the day from the wee one today......
The missus tells her she's wired.
Wee one: *jumps up and down on the couch excitedly* "I love being wired!!" 😆
Something working as advertised. I did an unusual credit card transaction last night, paid for a meal for 7 is a restaurant here in Houston. It’s an Irish card and I don’t normally use it that heavily. The bank said that for foreign transactions above a threshold they would send a text message, and all I’d have to do was reply “Y”, and it worked as advertised. Embarrassment avoided.
I gave a neighbour's child a book for Christmas. His mother said he went to bed early because he wants read in peace! I hope I've started a love of reading.
Sarcasm. Some people don't like it. I love it. 😁
She won the 10K and started crying. So happy for a complete stranger
Watching Tipping point, the pretty girl , who was losing to a smug looking man, by 1000''s got a big drop with 2 doubles and won
Radio 4 Extra. No COVID, no misery, just comedy.
They are all brilliant.
One of my favourites was when they all had to have a sheep dip in the cold.
They re-routed the hot water from the farmers shower into the sheep dip and had a pool party.
Obviously then the farmer went for his shower only to be hit with ice cold water 😂😂
I remember leaving the house to go to the cinema to see something else. No idea what now but Shaun the Sheep was the last thing on so I settled for that.
It's brilliant.
Shaun the sheep movie on BBC now!
Brilliant! 😁
Finished my Christmas shopping, food in, presents wrapped.
Not going anywhere tomorrow. It will be a chill day.
It kind of feels a bit unnerving being organised. I usually thrive under a small bit of pressure/chaos but I'll take the calm.
Looking at the stars. I've always found it soothing.
All my presents bought, lots have arrived too, courier just arrived with more…. That all has to be a first, a day and a half before Christmas and everything done, in fact that IS a first….
Sitting in a coffee shop, pleasantly surprised that while it's busy, it's not crazy and I got a table very easily. Bought myself a present too. Sure why not 😊!
Christmas work holidays started today, I'm off until second week in January this year.
A lovely older neighbour left a box of sweets for us in his letterbox today because he's keeping to himself with covid. We collected it this evening and it's on my lap now. ☺
My holidays have started hallelujah! 🙌
Got my negative LFT so it means I won't miss Christmas. It does mean I have to fly home with Ryanair though. Eurgh.
Andrew Cotter rt'ed it and ppl are asking him to do a voice over.
Sorry, I had obviously pasted the wrong link, earlier.
🥰 Someone posted that video in the BAAAAAW thread, it's pure happiness.

So every year, Dogs Trust do a day where they let all their doggies choose their own Christmas present. They film it and it's always joyous.
They posted this year's video on Twitter today and We Rate Dogs retweeted it. For those of you who don't know, WRD is basically the biggest (and best, and most heartwarming) dog account on Twitter. The whole thing blew up and I saw a comment from Buzzfeed on the thread about an hour ago asking could they write about it. Unbelievable publicity for Dogs Trust and they'll probably hit their fundraising target for the whole of 2022 as a result. Brilliant.
It's the final countdown! 🙌
After a long four weeks(damn covid) , I get to physically see and hug two munchkins tomorrow 🙌
It's such a beautiful, mild and calm night out. 😊
Since i bought an exercise bike 3 years ago I have been always trying to sync the Bluetooth connection between my iPad and the bike, so I can use the Ifit app but also play Spotify through the speakers…. I had tried everything but without success and was convinced the software or Bluetooth was knackered despite being a newish bike but just felt the urge to give it another go just now, it works ! I can now cycle through Manhattan at sunset… it’s quite cool…
Out of office turned on. No more work until the 4th.
