    When you have one of those days and you can't park the car properly and you feel everybody is looking at you!

    I've misplaced my bank card again. I last used it in Lidl on Tuesday as 9pm and as I retrieved it from the machine (contactless didn't work) I put it away somewhere awkwardly thinking "Why don't you just put it in the normal place?". But I was holding awkward things awkwardly at the time.

    I've checked the backpack I had with me, I've checked all the pockets on the clothes I think I was wearing, and I even asked in Lidl if it had been handed in…but no.

    People always say it always in the last place you look 🙄but I've noticed that it's often in a place that I've already checked, but I've found the thing when coming at it from a different angle (literal or not).

    I've enough cash for the moment, though.

    A fly falls in love with you and their whole purpose in life is to keep landing on you.

    What's App suggests I might want to follow FC Barcelona or Real Madrid. May I suggest Mark Zuckerberg follow Shamrock Rovers and The Offaly GAA football team.

    Have the same issue with Horseflys trying to bite me. Can't feel them landing on you only when they sink their fangs.

    Little feckers follow you unless you smack them.

    It's not even remotely humid??? 48% humidity today according to my phone. The average for Ireland at pretty much any given time of the year is in and around 75-80%. This is about the driest heat you're ever likely to get in this country.

    It was around 75% earlier. Down to 55% if you believe the Met Eireann app.

    It was definitely more humid earlier on. You know it is really humid when you can't sweat right and the sweat just stays on your forehead. 🥵

    The overwhelming sense of pressure I get, to do something when the weather is nice

    Sitting inside thinking it'd be nice to go to the lakeshore or something, or at least be outside, but I know it'll be packed out of it and I'm feeling the auld social anxiety big time

    I know, I know, I can't give out about the lovely weather, especially on a weekend.. like for those who've missed a lot of nice weather in the past few months where it was nice mid week and broke at the wkends it's amazing

    Just annoying I can't make the best of it, harumph

    I bought a pineapple cake for my mother Today.

    The box was top heavy and I left it fall upside down but it was fine.

    Turned out it was a cheese cake.

    My Mother doesn't like cheese cake.

    The power-washer is out power-washing the same front garden as he did for 3 hours the other evening, and he brought in a professional (possibly a friend of his) to power-wash the front of the house! Early on a Sunday afternoon. On possibly the last day of the good weather. 🙄

    What's wrong with these people? I'd love to paintball his house…

    I'm sure that'll be next on his list!

    My other trivial annoyance today was cycling to "Re-turn" my cans and bottles to find a small queue, but that was because one machine was being fixed while the other was shuttered up. When it was done, the first person finished their stuff, the two next people did theirs, and when I was nearly finished, the machine was 'full' again. 🙄

    I just left with my €6.50 receipt and my 6 unreturned 2l bottles. I thought I'd drop into the only other Re-turn place on my way home (Dunnes Stores) but when I got there, there were 5 trolleys (with people attached) waiting to be emptied. No thanks!

    But it's a great system!!

    I think I'll go for a (local) cycle to avoid the power-washing…

    How long is the DRS going at this point, yet people still feel the need to ponderously place their bottles in one at a time, waiting for the machine to accept it before they start loading the next one . You can absolutely fire them in people, it works like a conveyor belt. Chop chop, ffs.

    That “boards subscription thing is here”. Basically decided to monetise what boards.ie should be, for a minority. And leave it half arsed for everyone else!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Horsefly bites :(

    Got about ten of them in a forest yesterday and I'm itchier than hell and covered in bumps.

    It's hard being delicious (to evil bugs)

    Have you tried antihistamine cream on the bites?

    Something like Anthisan https://www.inishpharmacy.com/p/anthisan-cream-for-insect-bites-stings-and-nettle-rash-25g/300039

    I find it works.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    If you need something quick try good old fashioned vinegar.

    Think of the bonkers prices you pay nowadays for a concert with the dynamic pricing system. I was watching a documentary about Live Aid and people were going on about how expensive the tickets were: £25 for a full day featuring the biggest artists of that period. 🤯

    I looked up the inflation difference and a ticket would be £63 today, about €73.

    I've neighbours and they're generally sound people but they're fierce noisy when out in their back garden

    The father is 52 and he's like Brian Blessed on steroids. Once a minute you hear HA HA HA HA HAR HA HAR HA. It's nearly cartoonish at this stage.

    He's a big 6ft 5in 20 stone, gentle giant, bald with a big ZZ Top beard.

    I'm a smaller, I'd like to think gentle, 6ft 3in 16st fella with a soft laugh! Very trivial problem except he's laughing since 11am today.

    Every eejit decamping to the popular beaches on a fine day only to be stuck fuming in traffic, and dumping their cars wherever tf they like.

    Beaches attract the dregs of humanity in fine weather.

    Watched a lad attempting to put plastic milk cartons in. They don't accept those ya utter dope.

    SuperValu's machines have to be the worst, rejecting every second bottle/can.

    What's a social welfare pass? If you mean a travel pass don't make assumptions. I have one because I have epilepsy and not allowed to drive and I'm not on any social welfare I work full time.

    Yes, a travel pass. Apologies - don't mean to generalise.
