People wearing flipflops (outdoors obviously) in January. 2 separate people wearing them today.

Do people have their own microclimate ?

Oops wrong thread..... sitting down with a cuppa.

Coffee house routine. ☕️☕️

The skin off for certain dishes, but only after being cooked in the skin to get that flavour and juice into the meat. If folks want to gasp at the skin being taken off, I'd be very surprised. The skin is needed for certain recipes but lots of people don't like it anyway.

In other news, finished work early, but back at it now due to eejits. The invoice has been updated.😁

Gremlinertia · 24-01-2022 10:01pm

I'd say we are zoned in on roast chicken where crispy skin is the perfect crust as it were..

Deskside after lobbing a bunch of coffee into me..

thomil · 24-01-2022 10:23pm

Tableside here, writing away. Blog posts, my journal, you name it, with my trusted writing buddy (coffee) by my side.

Always loved the skin on my dad's legendary roast chicken. What I'd give to have some of that right now...

Gremlinertia · 24-01-2022 11:43pm

Gawd doing three people's work here.. Sense about as common as kryptonite

thomil · 25-01-2022 12:08am

I know. These days, common sense is so rare that it should be classed as a superpower...

There's been a few mugs of industrial strength joe so far!

Glad that's over, effing shirt filler made work a pure pain..

Gremlinertia · 25-01-2022 1:42pm

Helllooooo I'm looking for sleep! Where are you? All I see is tumbleweed..

JupiterKid · 25-01-2022 4:55pm

Bedside at home, feeling aches and pains in my joints, slightly feverish, sore throat and a headache. 🤒🤕 Phoned in sick this morning and took a Covid antigen test which was, thankfully, negative.

On Lemsip and honey and getting plenty of rest and fluids. Oh how I wish I could make good homemade chicken soup for later - but hopefully I will feel better to go into work tomorrow as two of my lectures today will have to be rescheduled and my general workload is very busy this month with a lot of teaching hours.

Gremlinertia · 25-01-2022 8:04pm

@JupiterKid hugs, hope you sleep it off quickly.

Tired trundle to toil today.

Sitting torturing myself on tinder

Some absolutely fabulous girls on the site. .

cj maxx · 25-01-2022 8:36pm

@ Jupiter Kid , hope you feel better soon. I had a dose like that these last couple of weeks. Only I also had to dash to the loo on a couple of occasions. That's more for the etiquette thread 😠

Playing musical hotels today as we need to restart our quarantine again, but this means that I’m heading home to the mutt for the next five days :):)

Someone was at the groomers today 🥰🥰

My ex was from Finland, he would be walking around Dublin in a t-shirt when everyone else was wearing woolly hat and scarves 😂

cj maxx · 25-01-2022 11:17pm

After watching 'The Alpinist ' again. Fascinated with climbing fims ever since seeing the fim about the 2008 K2 disaster. How these guys do it is unbelievable. Its not quite up there with 'Free Solo' imo for scariness but wow !

Did you also watch that one about the climber trapped by their own arm? I am unable to watch heights on shows, if the camera divebombs over the edge of a roof or whatever i nearly fall off the couch.

smurfjed · 26-01-2022 3:30am

Happiness is……

Gremlinertia · 26-01-2022 4:06am

Which one of ye is smiling more?? Did your wife recover ok??

smurfjed · 26-01-2022 5:20pm

Gotta be him, car drives all day, visit to starbucks and now time for beer, what more could a dog ask for 😂😂 (beer for me not him 😂)

Wife is fine, sore bones, cold and a headache, nothing more.

Gremlinertia · 26-01-2022 8:22pm

Got a smiley dog with us here tonight too. Exhausted but not working thank feck.

thomil · 26-01-2022 10:37pm

No dogs here, smiling or otherwise 😕

Just me chillin' in my living room. Feeling a bit down today for some reason...

You must feel a bit drained with all the writing etc

JupiterKid · 26-01-2022 10:59pm

Chilling in front of the telly. Made it into work today, but did a PCR test first thing this morning, as my doc advised me to do with my symptoms. Negative result texted to me a few hours ago. 👍👍😊

Still feeling a little flu-ey but a good bit better than yesterday. My tinnitus is really playing up which is very annoying.

Very busy workload between teaching, exam boards and research over the next six weeks. Aaargh!! 😬😭

Well, at least some of it is my journal, which has kind of become my place to vent since my daily calls with my parents stopped for obvious reasons, so that part is actually quite cathartic. The big problem is that with me working from home, there really hasn't been a lot of stimulus to get my creative writing juices going. I'd love something to break the monotony...

Gremlinertia · 27-01-2022 2:01am

Watched The Luminaries on netflix and I'm fecked if I know exactly what went on but an utterly enthralling watch.

Elyvande · 27-01-2022 10:48am

Morning. I have been deskside since early and am enjoying a nice coffee at the moment. I hope to get out into the fresh air later. I need to clear the head a bit as there is so much happening at the moment.

Have a good day one and all.

Gremlinertia · 27-01-2022 2:04pm

Trying to get a move on here, total failure so far!

thomil · 27-01-2022 7:52pm

*brushes aside cobwebs*

This place seems like a ghost town today. Had another uneventful workday here. Probably going to spend the rest of the evening with a bit of gaming, Cities Skylines methinks...

Autosport · 27-01-2022 8:58pm

😂😂😂😂

Elyvande · 27-01-2022 9:18pm

Sliding coffee and a plate of assorted biscuits your way. Do enjoy!

Couch....not a happy bunny......got car serviced today ....said car is now in the local gaa car park as the handbrake won't go back down....and I don't think I can blame the garage......have to go down in the morning and strip around it to try and release it just to get it home.......

I wish, poor Duvet is on her last legs, I'm absolutely exhausted these days, I'm just going from work to home and very little else, I'm not sure if it's just me but I'm absolutely bate these days and beyond apathetic, sick of the dark mornings, it's too cold and I don't function in cold weather. The lotto Gods are having a laugh, not even winning a scratch card these days.

Could be worse I suppose, at least my 'handbrake ' didn't get stuck in a public carpark. 😂

gifted · 28-01-2022 7:52am

I see the locals are in a sympathetic mood last night lol lol.......

Gremlinertia · 28-01-2022 10:42am

How is it back to work day already? 😭

28-01-2022 10:57am

I was out out last night! Theatre, dinner and drinks. Actual live music in the pub.

if everywhere wasn't so unbelievably quiet, it was almost like normal😁

What did you see in theatre?

Work trundle shortly, gawd help me

Walking with ghosts, one man show with Gabriel Byrne. He tells the story of his life really, was very good.

Gremlinertia · 28-01-2022 7:05pm

Oh I read about this in the last few days.. Think it could be fascinating
