    I was in Gort this afternoon. I had a nice time there

    Cooking. Taking a break from studying to make a Thai green curry for the first time ever.

    I also had steak cooked medium last night for the first time. My ex was right, it is so much nicer than well done.

    So, in summary, food makes me happy.

    Nice people. Boardsies included. Also just booked a wine tasting tour for July in France. So I’ll be getting my practice on between now and then :pac:

    A trip to Germany for some more bratwurst and German beer is in order for you !

    I recommend Cologne, amazing city. Cheap Ryanair route from Ireland too ;)

    Three things make me TH. My bed, QI and Terry's chocolate oranges.

    Am in the first, watching the second while eating the third right now. Happy out!

    When you make a mug of coffee that's just perfect (seldom happens ) :)

    Got my insurance renewal quote last week so I called them today to see if they can do better and they knocked €42 off it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 953 ✭✭✭Neames


    Had to work extra long.hours last week, so left work early today.

    Enough time to mow the lawn, bring the dog for a nice long walk, go for a.bike ride...all in the sunshine!

    Now waiting for a takeaway, nice glass of red, and the final episode of Game of Thrones !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,204 ✭✭✭Kitty6277


    Felt a bit out of sorts when I got home from work. Decided to ring my mam for a chat and it cheered me right up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    I had a canvassar call to the door a while ago. Not much chat out of him just the usual exchange of pleasantries. Off he went next door and so on so forth and next thing his elderly mam arrives at the door with her car parked outside. All she said to me was “that was my son there. Don’t vote for him he’s only a feckin ejit” :D

    I suppose it's about myself. I dont get worked up about little things compared to other people or if it's something more serious I try and not add fuel to the fire.

    Went into the bosses office to ask him for a set of keys. He asked how we were getting on, I said “grand, no fear of me” to which he replied “I never had any fear with you”

Yer man comes back with 4 of the shallow boxes that cream is displayed in, full of cream, €86 worth :D cracked me up for a good five minutes when I heard :D

    The sheer joy of the 2-year-old and his toilet training. I never remember it being this much fun before. A few disasters in the first 3 or 4 weeks but the fun the minute he shouts "Leithreas!" and I put on the siren and he giggles and laughs his way as we run through the house to the toilet.

    Last night he actually stopped in the hallway when he saw his bike (the cycling of which is another big, very recent achievement for him) and insisted he was going to cycle his bike to the toilet for the first time. So he did! Cycling through the house and arriving in style (I was the garda clearing the, eh, "roads" and stopping the, eh, "traffic" on the way through the house), insisting that he gets off the bike on his own and pulls himself on to the toilet on his own. Big sighs, followed by a deadly serious quantitative and qualitative analysis at the end of, well, everything.

    And the love - he's just exuding it. He just loves hugs and climbing on to the settee and hugging whoever is there and telling them how much he loves them, usually verbatim as 'love you so much - whole wide world' followed by hand movements in the shape of a globe! Such a thoroughly lovely time in life right now. Long may it continue.

    I usually arrive early for work (1 hour today!).

    I’ve had a nice coffee, Spotify on and catching up on Boards.

    Feel set up for the day. :)

    TH that my code for my new landline VOIP phone arrived...and it works on my iPad.:D

    For all the people without a flatrate and still used to real phones who want to talk to me. I could live without it. :p

    Another TH is the installation of my favourite photo software on my netbook. What an act to trick around the safety software. Funny day today...usually nothing works.:pac:

    My contract states 3 months probation in my job. Tis pretty standard, others places I've worked had 6 months. Got called into a meeting with the bosses and told I passed and HR would be informed. Only been five weeks. I've passed probation in other jobs sure but certainly never happened me so early. Gonna call in sick next week :cool: *joking*
