It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

Thanks all, we really have very very low risk of anything happening as our residential area isn't near any military or strategic importance. Its just the noise of the interceptions/drones especially for the little ones. I am watching the clock as about midnight GMT/4am here Trumps deadline for opening the straight ends, if he hits power and water in Iran, they will return in kind. Then I will be booking a flight for the family out of town and I will follow with the mutt when able.

Discussing plans of Christmas away (not Ireland or UA) somewhere this year, this has accelerated those plans.

Fingers crossed, that man changes like the wind.

He is defo on the naughty list.

He's going to make a cracking PhD dissertation subject matter though ....if we make it through the next few years😅😅

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of all the different leaders, I'd say the collective groans is deafening.

Great to hear that your family are safe and some form of normality might happen @Jude13. You've had a tough couple of weeks so fingers crossed going forward.

As for the states, there is a thread on boards called - would you go to America in the current climate or something to that effect. And a few contributors have wrote in saying they've been to the states and plenty of people still supporting him, which to us on this side of the pond we just don't get it, crazy stuff. But you're right, if you want to get political, go there, we are a much more positive bunch.

I think on here, we are just glad you're safe.

Prepare my other house before various friends borrow it in the summer. So cleaning, painting, replacing the TV install, and most hideously, whitewashing - actual lime mortar that burns your skin if you get it on you.

That, and consume loads of chocolate

I'm off Good Friday so am thinking of taking the Tuesday after Easter to give a nice few days off.

A load of my team are off either before or after Easter so it'll be a quiet enough fortnight. Just as well because the Elves have camps so I'll still be back and forth dropping them off and collecting them during "business hours"

Rest assured, @Princess Calla, it will be a similar two weeks in this house! They're either killing each other with love or battering the heads off each other - there's no middle ground 😂🙈

Best friends or mortal enemies 🙄 😂

Cinema and mc Donald's are the only things they've asked to do. We'll do that for sure.

Windy and sunny, could see record % of power from renewables today.

Eirgrid Dashboard was predicting max output for both could be a record for that type

Went out in to what I thought would be nice weather, considering its so bright, to do the bins. In a tshirt. Frozen!

I think the weather was only teasing us with a few dry, decent days a while ago. We are back to the cold and a good blasting of rain a few times a day to boot.
