And Iβm home again after a lovely few sunny days in Spain - nice to be home but hard to adjust to the weather, should have been a Mediterranean! First world problems I know, but flying is such a palaver, packing, check in security, passport check, walking miles in the airport at each end. I left the hotel at 4pm and didn't get home until 1 am.
But all in all it was worth it, now to prepare myself for the return to the coalfaceβ¦
You've come back to some yuck weather here.
A real bad day out there. Have some gravy and ale pies in the oven for some comfort.
Dan and Sandy are such a lovely couple in MAFSA.
Poochie you may come on holiday to the south east next time as itβs nice and sunny here and weβre very relaxed with passport control πππ
I hope they stay together, it's definitely entertaining this year, it confirms my belief that the world is full of cheaters.π
The weather today ffs, very hot in the shade sitting out in town, walk around the corner and a full blown storm and freezing, hate it.
No plans for tonight and I'm angsty....not even an offer of a 'retractable clothesline'.π
Rain
Go to
Spain
That reminds me.....can i borrow your bra for a spare line π€£π€£π€£π€£
Gifted got a death wish today!
Le trundle, frittata and a lamb dinner in town π
Will you still have night work in the new job?
Think it's on the back seat of the Fiesta π€π
Yup i will indeed, couldn't go completely upside down to a 9-5, i'd hate it..
Think it is the back seat π€£π€£π€£π€£
Wishful thinking. π
I'm bored, had a glass of wine, Keoghs crisps and a bar of Frys,nothing on the telly, trying to decide if I should start the new season of Succession or hit the hay, surely there's more to life on a Saturday night.
I've given up and gone to bed.
I'd usually stay up for tommy tiernan, but he's not on. This week has felt so long and now the mother has announced she's visiting tmw but she won't give a time (cos that would be feckin helpful) so we'll be on high alert from 10am onwards....ffs.
I'm really missing Tommy also Calla, I've started listening to himself and Hector's podcast, absolutely hilarious.
Argh no fair!. That waiting around lark really pisses me off.
Tbh I'm happy she has at least let me know she's coming. Usually she just arrives and expects everyone to stop doing what they are doing and dance attendance to her.
You may have guessed we don't really get on. I try to stay clear as much as I can as pretty much every visit results in an argument.
We had an aunt that used visit like that, rarely any notice, often feckin nothing in the house and her and me da would roar at each other, many pleasant sundays π
It's actually amazing how many things I do that offends her.
I live a really quiet life. However I'm an embarrassment to the female species as I don't live my life like cinderfeckinella ππ€£π€£
Oh I'm so looking forward to tmw π
Only one flaw in that invitation, I already live there Auto π
You gave me a reminder memory there that made me shudder π
You should arrange for your mother to see your kids outside your home, life is too short for that stress.
Family members often don't get on, or even like one another, there's no shame in acknowledging that and keeping your distance.
Let's be honest, if someone had a magic wand and said we could choose family members that we would be no longer related to, who genuinely wouldn't pick at least one? Even if it's a distant enough relative.
Being a rural gay, now in my forties, i found i had two families, the blood relatives, then the people i met in the gay community. I'm unsure about that whole blood thicker than water saying..
100% this. I'm finally completely free from my toxic siblings and one or two others. It's taken a while to sink in but each day I feel a little bit lighter and at times I take a moment to actively remind myself and enjoy the sense of freedom that brings. Not quite ready to celebrate that yet, but I will π
I can imagine how lonely and isolating your teen years were, thankfully attitudes have changed for the most part.
Unfortunately we live too close (walking distance)
She has presents for the kids as she'll be away for Easter. I had said I'd go to hers but that doesn't suit as she can't control the length of the visit ππ€£
Ah it's my lent penance....it'll be fine. It's been 2 months since the last visit....I'm a hardy princess.....I can survive ππ€£π€£
Oops sorry π
Arra only a memory, no apologies required, it's not something i'll be facing any time soon..
Well to be fair the saying is supposed to reflect that blood spilled in battle is stronger than the water of the womb....or something along those lines......I'm not going down the rabbit hole π
So in your example it would be true ....the gay community are your "brothers in arms" blood brothers if you will ....so stronger than your water brothers (siblings)
Or sisters ....or whatever your preference..... another rabbit hole I'm not going into π
Feign Covid? π€
