The Robins singing everywhere in the warm sunshine. They are always singing even in the coldest darkest times of the year. Now, if my wish would come true where I could stop all unnecessary traffic (safely) by clicking my fingers. There would be no unnecessary journeys under my watch 😁😁😁
Gave up weeks ago trying to find a particular type of step set, and spotted them while randomly shopping in a local chain store.
I bought the last two which extended my cash flow a bit, the youngster on the till just had the best news about her dad on the front line and scanned in her last few card points to celebrate which brought it down to a manageable sum.
Happy for her and her family and happy for me as I am not going to hear about those steps again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not trivial for her I know, but I'll share her happy where I can.
I’ve finally solved ball sort 113 , though it took 27 goes . But I did it 😷
I’ve found my good reading glasses . Only ta is there were in my pocket 😡
The whole recycle for bottles makes me happy, esp. when like yes, I got a discount for my items at the till and then scanned the recycle token and it came down by the 15c!
God be the days when I used to get 10p a bottle return . I got a lot of ice cream and mars bars out of that little number .
I went to get petrol, this morning. Without even slowing down the flow, I stopped at exactly €20.
I used to always put 20+a few pence , not enough that they’d charge you , but something that would make me feel I was getting a deal . Pre paid pumps have done away with that .
TH is hammering wales . I can’t stand them .
Got the ride last night, so that was nice. Hardly slept a wink though and have a massive headache.
A really long walk, wrapped up on a cold day. Can walk for ages and zero sweat.
Finding a new walk not too far from home...dog was too tired to do it all but I will go back on a nice day
Used to love that game when I worked at a statoil. One morning I was half asleep and went over by £1.50.
Been tasked with co-organizing a family holiday… mentioned and as soon as I did about 10 people on board and everyone agreeing in no time, potential suitable dates and in principle the type of getaway……..
By fück it’s needed, and happening. 😎
Triggered Irish people hammering their phones and keyboards furiously whenever anyone mentions Ireland is in the British Isles.
Having tried the Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodles in the past, it brought a smile to my face when I saw the Aldi version: Mumbai Mad Boy. 😄
The nice girl in the deli said hello to me , and she had a twinkle in her eye 😁
A Thursday evening beer and meal with the OH
Beautiful day where I am
Washing paint work and walls, strangely satisfying.
A couple of goes at updating the software on my tablet yesterday….. but it didn’t work, repeatedly just got a generic error message…. Tried this morning and it worked just fine…
Can't beat a bag of Okey Dokeys as well
Giving a girl a compliment about her new hair style and I think she really appreciated it 😎😎
Brought what was described as "too many clothes" to a stag weekend (necessitating the need for a 10kg bag - everyone else just brought a small one).
Walked into deep slush outside Heuston while running for the airport bus on Friday. Runners and socks soaked. No problem, had brought a pair of shoes just in case.
Someone spilled a pint on my jeans. No problem, had a spare pair.
Ended up using everything.
My broadband magically is back working , though the engineer is still coming tomorrow to check it as now the house phone plugs into it
Department of Transport, don’t know if it’s the norm but spoke to two different people today one who I wasn’t expecting the call back from until tomorrow. Both were beyond helpful in sorting out a situation that wasn’t of mine or their making but did it with professionalism, gusto and a charming courtesy and efficiency…. Positive experience and some.
I made a vegetable soup last night for the first time in ages, mainly to get rid of certain frozen vegetables from my freezer (along with some fresh veg). It looked absolutely terrible, not surprising with the amount of broccoli and kale in it...but it was amazingly gorgeous! And healthy too., I presume, without a bit of salt in it. The three chillis I threw in were the star performers, though. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
A perfect day for making electricity in the sunny (and windy) North East. And a perfect day for drying clothes washed in a machine using that electricity. And giving thanks for not having to deal with the drudgery of the past, like living by candlelight at night, and having to wash clothes by hand.
The pencils at the polling station were very fancy. Nice decent pencils.
I remember the last time I voted it was an auld small stub of a pencil. Neither sharp nor broken. Where I felt like a toddler "colouring in" the amount of pressure I had to use.
Jayus, this time I felt like what it must have been like for Da Vinci in comparison. The only draw back was the pencils were on string yokes. Next vote I might bring a scissors....
Everyone seems to have disappeared….
decided after all to go vote around 6pm, only about two other people in the room, I think I woke up one of the polling staff 😅 I was presuming it’s going to be packed… but in and done in two minutes.
gym Friday always dead and again, lots of room and pick of equipment….
