Beautiful day where I am
A Thursday evening beer and meal with the OH
The nice girl in the deli said hello to me , and she had a twinkle in her eye 😁
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. 😄
Triggered Irish people hammering their phones and keyboards furiously whenever anyone mentions Ireland is in the British Isles.
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. 😎
Used to love that game when I worked at a statoil. One morning I was half asleep and went over by £1.50.
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
A really long walk, wrapped up on a cold day. Can walk for ages and zero sweat.
Got the ride last night, so that was nice. Hardly slept a wink though and have a massive headache.
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 .
I went to get petrol, this morning. Without even slowing down the flow, I stopped at exactly €20.
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 .
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!
I’ve found my good reading glasses . Only ta is there were in my pocket 😡
I’ve finally solved ball sort 113 , though it took 27 goes . But I did it 😷
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.
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 😁😁😁
😁😁
You do know that those you send yourself don't count, right? 🤣
(speaking from experience...😭)
Receiving a valentines card 😊
Seeing a photo of my godson in his soccer kit for his first real match - against Bohs no less! He's 6 😂❤️
The most delicious pancakes… thick, fluffy, soft, flavourful, tasty beyond mmmmmmmmmmmm. Im stuffed….
My delivery arrived and all good, signed for and the coat and fits perfectly… nice start to the week….. super discounted too. 😋
Pancake Tuesday tomorrow
I went to a talk at the Royal Irish Academy last night. Afterwards, I was struck by one thing: at no point was the talk interrupted by phones going off, buzzing, alarms, coughing, or anything at all like that. People - at least the people there - really do seem to have gotten the message to turn their phones off, or at least to silent mode. Hope for the future?
Since Monday was a public holiday, Tuesday felt like a Monday, but better again, Wednesday was like a Friday because I was off today and will be tomorrow too.
Who doesn't like a 2-day working week?!? 😁😎
Power is back on , so I have tv , kettle and microwave again . Food 😝
I was walking with my bro's eldest, she is going back to work after a long gap. She has been systematically bullied in a succession of jobs for years. She's done the work and now feels ready to return.
A lady(b) who was walking towards us stopped up and called her name and they got chatting, niece said she was going back to work and was really looking forward to it as it was her dream job.
(b) said you are going back NOW? I would love to have been able to take years off like you did.
niece responded by saying, I would love to not have been bullied and demeaned in jobs for years and years like I was.
As she isn't the type to say boo to a goose I was so happy to see she was able and capable to stand up for herself and teach one of the bullies the outcome of their actions.
Went to the rugby last weekend. It was fun singing Ireland's Call while being surrounded by scowling French fans.
