    My English boyfriend on a phone call to an Irish person saying “ah sure it’s grand”. Always gives me a giggle when he’s talking to an Irish person and says words in an Irish way :D

    They use "grand" for "fine" a lot in England.

    Not exactly the same but mine's started ''ah sure it's grand''. Very cute.

    Getting clothes dried outside in lovely sunshine and getting them back indoors just before the rain. (My rock and roll lifestyle :D)

    Sitting on the balcony just out of the rain, since it's still warm enough. There's something about the sound of rain that allows me to sit still and just enjoy it.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.

    They bring it to you—free.

    Needed to contact Protect our Water today about a septic tank registration from years ago. Had no email or password or registration number. Usual start to phone call, busy lines, recorded etc so I settled down to a long wait.

    Almost immediately a lady answered, listened to my plea and said she would put me on hold.

    Within a minute she was back with all the information, sent the required form by email and updated my record.

    Later got confirmation of updates by email.
    Took all of three minutes. Thanked her profusely of course.

    We can be super efficient and it made my day.

    Falling asleep easily and staying asleep through the night.

    This past week I’ve finally not been struggling to get to sleep at night due to working ridiculously long hours and being mentally and physically exhausted.

    I love sleep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    The laughter of schoolkids.
    The silence of the night.
    People greeting you on the street.
    That first few minutes just after you plonk on the sofa - bliss.

    Hugs (yes, plural!) in the Library from a child who's at an age in which he should be embarrassed to do so in a public place (imagine, in front of other people!!); he also said "I missed you!"

    I missed you loads, too, kiddo. :)

    I have a little planter on my windowsill full of flowers and a mini tree. I put 3 little green plastic kittens in it one day as I had nothing else to do with them.

    My house is in the middle of a working yard, and most days the kittens are in different places when I come home! Today one was exploring life outside the planter, climing my window courtesy of blue tack.

    Whoever it is is putting serious effort into dreaming up places for these kittens and it really entertains me!

    What a day...:P

    ...finally managed to decipher critical commands in a bot for discord. Since two hours i can add twitter posts to my little personal vaper server additionally to Youtube and RSS feeds. The old try and error method still works...slowly but with a result, ha! :eek::pac:


    And i pimped my ride! The old soft shell pannier fell apart so it was time to reactivate the old trustworthy mesh basket. Works as it ever has. Please note the fancy holder for the back light. :P

    Exhausted...but happy.:D

    I have a motley collection of furniture, most of it flatpack. I was following a home improvement page on Facebook and have been encouraged to do up some bits and pieces. It's going better than I expected.

  • Registered Users Posts: 416 ✭✭SaltSweatSugar


    I finally started moving stuff into the new gaff today. I bought myself a double railed garment holder thingy that required some DIY. Put it together myself with minimal cursing. :D

    And I discovered the most beautiful kitty hangs around the garden.

    If they're slow blinking back you're in good standing, just have to take it slowly on the distance.

    A month ago, I called a service I use a lot, to ask a question about an upcoming purchase, the youngster on the phone hadn't a rashers of what I was asking her. Same every time I've called them since then.

    Yesterday I called again, same youngster sounded far more confident and was able to respond to my question competently.

    Was just at the Spice Girls in Wembah-lay London.
    Gig was brilliant, and great sound quality unlike Croke Park.
    But omg, there seems to be only one way out so it was just a mass of people standing and shuffling forward every few minutes. We didn’t go straight for the tube but it took nearly an hour for a 5 minute walk.

    I had a training day today for a job I applied for, it was super easy and was offered the role on the spot after an hour.
    I can't even put into words how delighted I am.
    The nicest thing will be signing off in two weeks!

    Still can't believe it :D
