JK goes to Kilkenny and Iโm gone West ๐ Nothing but rain here so far, i certainly didnโt bring the weather with me ๐๐
@thomil you need to look after yourself and if a break away is needed then take one, and something Iโve stopped doing is watching or listening to the news, ((hugs))
Deskside yawning.
Sorry to hear that thomil
*bro hugs*
G'wan Witchie ya mad thing ya ๐
@thomil a colleague of mine was going through a very rough patch last year, really needed a break, so he got on the Ryanair site looked at cheap flights to places he had never been, and headed off for a week. It did him the world of good, got a little break from home, got out of his head, just forgot his everyday. Was only a week, but really helped him.
If you do need some time off, I do highly recommend a visit to somewhere nice and chilled, like say, Saranda @thomil...I promise I won't put the moves on you but I will offer friendly chats and some peace and quiet when you need it. I know what it's like to struggle like that. Last week was a bit of a tough one for me too. Just make sure you are ok, talk to someone you trust and start planning a holiday somewhere.
Thanks for the kind words everyone, but right now, I feel like time for myself is actually the worst that could happen. My self-isolation and hyper focus on the war in Ukraine tipped me over the edge in the first place. I've got end of quarter review time coming up at work, first time since 2019 that this will be in-person, so preparing those reviews will keep me busy for a while, I hope.
Also, I kicked Twitter of my phone and iPad today, that should help somewhat...
@thomil , sorry to hear that . I agree with@Grandee Grandeeod , make yourself the priority. See if work will organize some time off for you , time to focus on getting yourself to a better headspace.
Look after yourself.
Census just done here.
I'd be interested to hear what people wrote in the time capsule. I wrote a message to my kids on the chance they may still be alive in 100 years which is possible considering how people are living longer and longer as the years go by.
I'll throw in a joke aswell but I haven't decided which one to add in yet. ๐
Sorry to hear that thomil. I wish you well.
Forget the Census form thomil. Worry and look after yourself. You first and all else second.
Ha , very picturesque spot to meet someone G ๐
Thank you, the kids and munchkins have had day trips together since they were all born , this was my first day trip with them . Anyhow, enough of me blathering on , enjoy the evening ๐
Almost forgot about that, thanks for the reminder ๐
Homeside here and not in a good place to be honest. My mental health has been in a bit of a tailspin recently and I can't seem to find a way to pull out of that. I could do with a few months of paid time off if I'm honest.
A decent spot alright Mam. Yes indeed I have great memories of it. When I hit my teens and obviously living in Dublin, the DART made it very accessible and then I met a Bray girl.๐ฎ Delighted you enjoyed your day.
Great memories you have of it G !
My first time there , loved it , fish and chips sitting on the front before we left for home too .
Ag good oul Bray! Many a Summer day I spent there. Lived in it for a few years too. (girl related.๐) Slots, Dawsons amusements and Cassonis chipper. on the front. Bray head for a hike across to Greystones in my teens. Loved it. My first trip on the DART the week it opened was to Bray!
Just finished it here too , another thing over and done with .
Back from a great (but long)day in Bray with all the munchkins and their parents. All into the Aquarium first , they loved it , then out to chase the waves and watch the boats . And it was still only lunchtime by then ๐ our legs are all walked off us โบ
Just finished the census form. You'd need a drink after that! Haven't stirred out all day but well stocked up on everything.๐
So, you will all be glad to know I got something from the German last night...
A f**kin cold/flu! We spent most of the day in the pub together watching football and chatting. He had been sick during the week and had left the party early on Fri night coz he still was a bit caught up and the smoke was killing him.
I started sneezing last night, and am in bits today. In bed all day.
But have realised he isn't what I need, the germ spreading German or just the GermMan. Have been productive while in bed and lined up a few hotties for dates here and in Corfu next week. ๐ If am better of course!
I must say that's uncannily like my house and gardens JK. ๐คญ
Cool pictures.

Rome so far is 50/50 on vaccination certificates, they want to scan the code to check that they are valid. Masks as required in public places and transport.
This hotel room is unique ๐
I had a heap of lovely chicken wings post afternoon pints. But wide awake now as the booze leaves the system. Should have kept going. But alas not able for it. Nice though.
Home and back to work๐ญ
was over 2 years since I was away, omg, get me back to the airport! I missed the travel, so much..... Will be getting back to travelling the world very soon.
