I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

Sitting here listening to the Mutt snoring.

Couch....watching the match.....like a beached whale.......I went out to the kitchen to make a coffee and I picked up a pear out there as well......I came back into the couch with the coffee and a packet of dairy milk chocolates in my hand.....no sign of the pear...honestly, the body is now programmed to eat chocolate.....

Need to lose about 4 stone in the next few months...but not this evening lol lol

Well Hello all! Dropped in to Boards to once again try and delete my account as I really really want to but I could be tempted not to! The poor place is sick and.speaking of sick, we are all Covid ridden here. I got it at a work gig just before Christmas. Ms G followed up a few days later and Mrs G another few days after. I'm out of isolation, Ms G is done by Wednesday, but Mrs G is the worst of us so far. Mad stuff this Omicron version. Really hard to avoid if you are in a crowd for a while. Anyway we will soldier on. Happy New Year lads!

@Grandeeod great to hear from you!

Very sorry to hear that ye have the virus but delighted to hear you are working in these restrictions.

I remember like it was only a few weeks ago your Christmas gig last year and people touting the restrictions. So hard to believe that's a YEAR ago.

I hope the 3 of you are on the road to better health.

For me, this year feels like a blur. On NYE, I started to reflect on the year past and I couldn't actually remember much of what I had done!

I think we all remember 2020 and the novelty of the first restriction, the 2km limit and fabulous weather where we all thought we won the lotto sitting out sunbathing.

2021 then, the novelty was over. It was just ducking and diving trying to avoid the virus and again more cancelled plans and missed events.

I hope and pray that the new year will bring a complete 180° change to all our lives.

That brought me back! A crazy time. I had to take bigger risks over the last few months for work reasons and it all finally caught up. Got it, but mainly due to others not giving a fook. Mild enough for me and Ms G. However Mrs G has it worse and is still suffering. Cough and all.

Good to see you around the place again, @Grandeeod 😀 Hope Mrs G gets bets better soon, I think the entire AH crew is keeping fingers crossed for that!

Deskside here, just coming out of a MAJOR downer period over the last couple of days. It's weird, when this whole sh*t show started, I felt like I was one of those best suited to handle it, given that between the loss of my parents, my apartment, the loss of my job and a rather bumpy start in a new one, I was used to operating in a "crisis management" state of mind. But now, I just want this whole rigamarole to be over, one way or another!

Anyway, enough ranting, it's a new year, let's try to make the best of it. Oh, and whoever is playing "Plague Inc", please STOP!!!

Great to hear from you @Grandeeod it's a stressful time for all the household I'm sure, take care of you and yours. As for ourselves we've had a lovely all be it quiet new year, great walks out in our locality here, lovely food and treats of nice wine and beer that we treated ourselves to for the times we're in, got a delivery to our door yesterday of a pack of six books from a family member who knows how much we enjoy reading, people are so good.

I know I’m not going anywhere for at least three hours, since my flight to Dublin is officially delayed by about 2 hours, meaning it’s probably going to be more than that. Any Boardsies stuck at JFK gate B28, waiting for DL44: 🍺?

Coalface is calling me 😂😂 How can it be Monday already 😂

Productive morning, coffee with himself, barber shop for a cut and shave, picked up a birthday cake for a party tomorrow, waiting on the delivery of a new washing machine, and have a PCR test in an hour. Needless to say, fun time is over, back to work tomorrow.

Coffee with a view after a gym session. Gotta pick up a few things in Tesco and then I'll make a big sausage, bacon and veggie stew when I get home. The Glenroes will probably kick in at some time this evening though.
