    Work colleague/friend made homemade burgers and gave me one.
    Also made shortbread biscuits and gave me 5 or 6.

    One of my best mates texted me last night asking me what I was doing on a night in March. Answered her back saying I wasn’t doing anything and asking why. She said she had a spare ticket for Lewis Capaldi and asked if I wanted to go with her :D:D

    On a roll! The stick on my trusty mop snapped off. Overworked of course; only had it about ten years..;)

    I realised I would have to buy a whole new mop and that will take time as I get all by mail order these days. The mop head is fine..

    So I had a good look and the metal pole had rusted and eroded at the base.... I hammered it down to a new part, pushed it in and LO!

    Cannot be without it as the ^^^ man who designed this place put pale yellow lino all through.... and in this climate.... Getting down on hands and knees is fine until I need to get up again!

    HAPPY day!

    You might know his song Someone You Loved. I am absolutely going, and it’s even better that it’s the weekend after my thesis is due so I can use that as an excuse to celebrate :D

    Irish weather - I love it! :)

    Honestly wouldn't live in any other climate in the world. This one is perfect for me!

    I actually enjoy being out in the rain... not the heavy downpours, but the drizzle which we mostly get. It's nice, refreshing!

    (Yes I know, I'm a weirdo. But a happy one... so I don't care!:D)

    Finally getting to hug my OH late last night after a long and trying day being sick, feeling like the world is against me and being misunderstood by everyone, even a best friend. He doesn't even need to talk for me to feel instantly better. He is my sanctuary. :o

    My TH is inspired by Widders "pet name" post (all lovely names Widders).

    My TH is a bit pathetic but it did make me smile so I'll share it ...
    I love the TV series Grace and Frankie. Grace is played by Jane Fonda and I love her character. She's funny, intelligent and stylish. Anyways, I was binge watching the latest season and in one episode, some fun was made out of Grace's husband's pet name for her ... it happens to be honeybear!!!!!

    I told ye it was trivial

    Good Customer Service. I had to deal with something over the phone today and was expecting to get the run around, instead I got very helpful and nice staff. Made a nice change.

    I lost my birth cert and replacing it would cost €20.
    I knew it was somewhere in the house so I held tough on getting a replacement.
    It turned up today.

    I went to the local garage for the paper this morning. In an attempt at small talk, I asked the young wan at the counter was she cold standing there. "No, just f**king bored". I burst out laughing at the world weariness of a teenager, mind she did laugh as well.

    I’m not sure what it is, but I’m really liking how I look lately. I don’t know if it’s that my fringe that I was growing out is now long enough to put behind my ears so my hair looks like it has a shape to it, or if it’s that my skin looks good because I’ve been taking extra care of it or if it’s my body from the gym but whatever it it, I love it!


    (None of that is meant as a brag by the way, just sometimes it’s good to have a bit of self-appreciation!)

    TH saw a lady jump up and offer her seat to someone who needed extra help yesterday (to save them fighting through the clot of people crammed into the waiting room, searching for seats. I was at the far end of this crowd), and she asked her daughter to do the same.

    Its not weird. It's a gorgeous temperate climate, it's just not consistent. Some summers were terrible washouts, but when we really get a fine, long summer from April to October, theres nowhere better to be than here. Imo.

    Viewing the day ahead as I listen to the tide crunching rocks on the shore just behind my home... And the howling wind....

    Cats fed.... made chicken noodle soup y'day and there is plenty left, oh and boiled a big potato in it so can have fried potatoes...

    Shopping due over late afternoon weather permitting...

    A sweet quiet day ahead..... my time is my own... at peace
