The new Lotto is brilliant for some reason; it makes me so happy.
Local gym is offering free access (gym & pool) to Junior & Leaving Cert students during their exams. Nice touch
Got a message this am from the local council to say there were sending someone out to check my noise log!!!!! such a relief to have someone on my side when so many people pretending they cant hear a digger like noise at 4 am and as for the vibrations caused by this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Mmmm….Haggis

Life's little victories
Out of Africa. Great flcik and 2 great actors.
I saw two kingfishers today. First time ever.
Checking RIP and seeing nicknames in brackets after the deceased’s official name. Some are hilarious.
The fact the “pride match” FIFA earmarked for Seattle as part of the WC ended up being Iran-Egypt.
Going to be wall to wall rainbow laces for that one lads.

I urgently need to buy a new backpack. Old one that served me well on trips last about 20 years has the lining coming apart inside. The one I had my eye on is reduced to €40. And when I hit the ‘stock check’ button on the website they have stock in the nearest shop of theirs which is only 3 kilometres away and they have it in my preferred colour too.
Cashier lady complimented my smile this morning :)
There is a DOG on my BUS!!!
walked into JD sports to urgently update my fitness wear… really liked some Adidas tracksuit bottoms, got the very last two pairs left in my size at the very back of the last rail I looked at..
down to Elverys, same brand but a different style I liked, coincidentally just two pairs of those left in ‘L’ too. Nice bit of luck x2 and a really productive days shopping.
Got my earbuds working fine again. They had an audio feedback loop in the right earbud, were out of warranty, and a repair was beyond what I could afford, but it turns out that I just needed to turn off noise cancellation to get rid of that bloody feedback noise!
Last of the LC exams today for my son. Him closing the door on school life is my TH. Not been easy. But onwards now 😊
After what feels like a decade, we are down to just one house in the estate being reno'ed (th)! 1!!!!!!! the road looks so bare now thats its not blocked with trade vans parked both sides all day.
Hopefully this means less noise and the mices might go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont get me wrong, I'm happy for the 5 "new" houses better suiting the families living in them, but man it was noisy and dirty!!!!!!!!!
managed to time my walk tonight in between showers… dunno how as lots of very low grey cloud around but no rainfall….in the shop I encountered a lad I was in the same year in the same school as.. he’s gone on to great things a very popular comedian appearing on TV and has gigged extensively…Also a stint as an actor in fair city which I didn’t realise till googling him just now… was stood in his Bohs jersey pondering breakfast cereals…
Standing in a queue earlier and heard an elderly gentleman refer to today’s weather as ‘Jumped up F&cking January’
That my bottle of wine is a screw top not cork.. Too much work other wise
This made me smile
I frequently see youngsters( c10-15yo) in my local Tesco's, I love to hear them comparing prices and figuring out how to make what ever money they have stretch for their wants(I assume wants, as nothing about them trip my distress spidies) They are quite rightly shameless in doing this as they should be, this convo yes really made me smile.
Two boys c12 we in the biscuit aisle and having a spirited discussion about which biscuits can afford and get their desired ice-cream as well, one guy said "I forgot I have a bag x gave me so we dont have to pay for this, it even has working snappers at the top" This seemed such a mature conversation for such a young person, but I loved to hear this from young boys particularly.
That's after giving me a good laugh so true!
Had a sweet little intruder the other day trying to break into the boiler house
😄😄
"Cat on a hot bituminous felt roof"? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it. 😁
There's a cat round the way that always jumps up to greet you. Think they must be evolving, they're usually quite scared of people.
Mooching about after a smokand found a packet of Fox's classic buiscuits
Got my haircut yesterday…despite it being Saturday afternoon the barber wasn’t busy, a 5 minute wait, a relaxed and unhurried really good cut that I’m very happy with. New employee too, great cut and chat to a minimum…perfect.
