A hour spent blowing leaves. I don't know why but it's one of the garden jobs I really enjoy. And the resulting tidy lawns and paths is a bonus.

My grandchildren.

Four year old boy today reminded me that, in a book I read to him a couple of weeks ago, some whales ate "bioluminescent phytoplankton".

I've said it before and I'll say it again....it's in the genes.

VERY very happy the invasion of large cattle AT MY DOOR has gone.! Ii is that time of year when some farmers make the most of every last blade of grass before they go in for the winter... Finding my drive, path and garden full of them was not to my liking... Eaten my few vegetables, grass and plants... Had this with sheep in various rentals. First time for cattle... Made a call or two.... Not checking my garden any more today...Upset.

Happened me yesterday, 10 animals in the field, only one on the lawn.
And I had rang and messaged the farmer the evening before saying they were in !

Used to be fascinated by sea creatures as a child. Tardigrades (sea bears/moss piglets) and mantis shrimps are awesome at any age Not to mention sea snot!

Happily thankful for shelter and food in this bitter winter weather. Northerly gale straight off the ocean puts life in proportion..Hope all are safe inside.

TH at another bright, calm, cheery autumn morning that demands we do something with it.

New Home · 14-11-2019 11:09am

It'd be a perfect day for collecting sweet chestnuts, if only there were trees around.

Widdershins · 14-11-2019 11:11am

Just a little smile at a listing on a preloved clothes site. "Label says it's a Large but it is in me ar*e. It's an 8, 10 or 12."

A TH and a TA. Just had a fella in installing something. He looked so much like Tormund from game of thrones but he also had the ice blue eyes of a white walker. That's what made me TH. My TA is that he explained loads of stuff to me and I was so busy restraining myself from saying it to him that I didn't really retain much of what he said. Ah well, I'm sure I'll figure it out...maybe.

Elated and exhaustedly happy at winning a battle with the elements! They drop the groceries on the drive.

When I went out, I was transfixed at the panorama of dark clouds spinning rain on the horizon, and flickering rainbows... Realised the storm was heading my way.. That I had a very short time before it was overhead..

Cats thought it was hilarious, my grabbing boxes and dumping them in the kitchen then out again. ….
Chased and raced with me..Wonderful game!

Just got the last vulnerable load through the door as it was spitting at me.... then POW! Someone up there turned the hosepipe full on Two cases of cat food still out there but that is fine.

Love being so close to it all, that it is such an integral and intimate part of my life out here. Will keep the images of the storm sweeping in in my heart.

Happy. Full freezer and full cupboards.

Cats full of raw chicken .. only one not fed is me...Yet!

That satisfying tiredness which comes from worthwhile activity. It was a day for doing things outside, so cars washed, flowerbeds tidied, windows washed etc.
Nothing beats well earned relaxation at this time of the day.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 15-11-2019 3:54pm

No happys today? It's Friday.

For me it's good company and having a laugh. Did a lovely walk over the Cooley mountains with other retirees. All good humoured and nice to be with.

madmaggie · 15-11-2019 4:21pm

Back home after a day of appointments, shopping, etc. Nothing like sitting at your own fireside with a mug of tea.

[Deleted User] · 15-11-2019 5:38pm

Going out for drinks and a catch up with all my brothers tonight

Tauriel · 15-11-2019 5:49pm

My TH for today is getting my hair washed in the hairdressers, it's almost like a head massage when they are shampooing the hair. If I were a cat, I'd be purring:D

Trigger Happy · 15-11-2019 6:06pm

It's 5pm on a Friday. Sure what's not to like about that?

Poochie05 · 15-11-2019 7:56pm

Can finally tell people that I’m going to be an auntie again.

Delighted for my brother and his partner as they’ve really wanted this for ages!

Oh I just love that so much!!

I pay for spotify which is a music streaming service each month but that's unimportant

I found an artist who takes the latest popular music and strips it all back and plays it on the piano

Like you were in Pearse station and used the Irish Rail piano on a tune. He's brilliant

Widdershins · 15-11-2019 9:34pm

Possibly very different but Beyonces "Crazy in love" piano cover by Sofia Carlsberg, the "male version" is strangely good.

branie2 · 15-11-2019 9:50pm

I really enjoyed Last Christmas, and I'm referring to the film, as opposed to Christmas last year

KatW4 · 15-11-2019 10:12pm

Cat Hospital on RTE! All the cute cats!

Also very very very TH that it's Friday. Fed up with dealing with the (nasty/neglectful) parents of the children in my class! I definitely need the break.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 15-11-2019 10:29pm

More than trivially happy that all our family are fit and well, having watched Children In Need tonight. Inspirational young people.

Neames · 15-11-2019 11:29pm

With the Mrs watching Arctic starring Mads Mikkelsen......jayse you wouldn't be long getting frostbit so ya wouldn't!

While the stove has us roasted and the wine is flowing!

All he'll was halfway unleashed this morning but it was firmly rammed back in its box by the timely arrival of someone who must be an agent of my guardian angel. The day was saved, and I had a good flirt.Theres nothing like a really good flirt with someone who is a world class flirt, is there?

How you doing ?

Out pushing my grandchild in a pram and had to manoeuvre through one of those awful gates into the park . Two young fellas coming towards us with hoodies up and on phones . They saw me coming and ran to the gate and held it open until i safely passed through . Most young people are basically nice and a nice smile and a big thank you goes a long way for young lads . Made my day

I'm much better now you're here, Sephy

*blows kiss

TH I have my hair up in pin curls with setting lotion 1950s style for dinner tomorrow night. Now I'm sliding under the covers for some rest before a big night. Awake at dawn, sleepy at dusk. I have the perfect life-sleep balance just now.

Widdershins · 16-11-2019 8:14pm

Awake browsing FB and learned a new word. First time in ages I've co.e across a word I'd never seen before. "Celerity", meaning "swiftness of movement". It's a bit of a strange word which sounds like the drunken slurring of "celebrity"
