Was over in Marlay park with the team on Saturday afternoon & the heat was incredible. The lads jerseys were stuck to them after the match it was that hot. Thank god I was only coaching & not playing...
What an absolute beaut of a day yesterday, we had the paddling pools back out for the dogs and the biggest monster of them all the toddler!!
Last time we had them out was June, speaks volume about how bad the summer was, anyway I'll take this warm spell no problem. Got a lovely long walk in after dinner and everything.
Happy Monday all! Big exam for me today and surprise surprise, there isn't a cloud in the sky!
yep, dark starts have started. I get up at 5.45am and it was pure night, not dusk or a hint of it, felt like the middle of the night it was so dark. Thankfully we still have some brightness in the evenings though, the one part of the build up that I could do without is leaving for work in the dark & it being just as dark leaving the office in the evenings.
howdy folks!!! currently in spain for my birthday, but i can feel it, christmas is around the corner!!!!!
Up at 6 this morning and it twas dark folks.
We just had an "autumn" sized spider in the sitting room. OH managed to flatten it and when he went to get something to clean it up, the dog decided he wanted a snack. Ugh, he better not try to lick me tomorrow 😖🕷
I'm on the whiskey now and still not right from it
I know! I dropped one of the kids to gymnastics this morning and I'm leaning on the bonnet of the car soaking up the sun. One of the nicest mornings in months, it's like being back in France on holidays 😎
Well we wait all year for the ber months to get here and the countdown can get serious and Summer decides to show up! 😄
Last year I got chocolate Santa's, selection boxes etc early and put them in the attic. My kids are believers so these things need to be hidden. Unfortunately a little mouse decided to visit our attic and munch his way through the Santa's! I have to find a new hiding spot this year.
Of course!! 😅
I bought the kids advent calendars today. Was up north and spotted the bueno one so decided to have one thing sorted. Texted the teens to see if they wanted one and got this reply

Jesus, bit early isn't it?
but bueno please
So the I just picked up a few treats for other family members too. The shopping has begun.
Some Paul Costello wreaths added to the Dunnes website
September
October
November
December
All end in ber......there is also the play on brrrr cos they are the cold months leading to Christmas
BER months???
It's generally around this time the Glade candles/air fresheners come into the shops.
My local Tesco was also selling off loads of odds andend clearly making room in the stock room for Christmas stuff.
I'd give you that one, the imagery has what looks like snow in the air, so it's a yes from me.
Is this sort of Wintery?
Welcome to the beginning of the end.... the BER months!
Such a quick year this year!!
Weather-wise, it feels like we've been in the BER months since July!
@gidget This happened to us a few years ago so I always make my both September and December appointments in July now, seems a bit mad but it's easier to get a hairdressers appointment than a grooming appointment in December.
Happy 1st of September!
Side note: how is it September already?!
The beginning of the BER's. 😁😁🎄
Happy September!
Had my dog in for his grooming appointment today, was hoping to book his next appointment for December for his Christmas groom. Unfortunately, no luck as they’re completely booked up, so he’s gone on a waiting list in case of cancellations.
I’m stuck with this decision as well. I love the tradition of the LLTS and tree going up so I hope it’s the 1st and not the 24th.
Afternoon Tea tins are now 800grams.
Chocolate Kinberly tins are 572grams.
July took soooooooooo long being over the shops just couldn't wait till September 1st it seems 😄
Nov 17th-Dec 23rd 2023
They have to be sold at the high price to bring them down on price on "offer"
