    Finishing a slice of apple tart and trying to force myself back to doing admin work. I have a host of emails to answer and little niggling things to do but I just can't get into them

    Home early, brought some stuff with me that I can finish off later if I feel up to it. Jesus it's a miserable day and I'm not feeling the mae West just yet, so I'm going to sleep for an hour and hope I feel more energised after that.

    Hope everyone is well, thread moves so bleedin fast. Currently on a bus to get to a very important rendezvous... Cutting it real fkn thin. Head still hasn't fully recovered from the Darby on Saturday and the subsequent bender that followed. I'm going on a busman's holiday in the morning though to the land of tulips, clomps and Van Gogh, and that's keeping me spirits up somewhat.

    Alright lads, I'm closing my account and I'm certain it's for good this time. Boards just ain't for me anymore. It's only ever been a bit of craic for me and I just don't find it much craic anymore like I once did. The fact that I won't be back just want to wish ye all well for the future. And thanks particularly to the funny bastards who made me laugh. Take it easy

    Thought for a minute this was me ! :D

    Morning folks! :)

    Feeling a bit sleepy this morning, as I spent too much of the night listening to this audiobook - Why We Sleep. Bill Gates had it on his recommended list a while back. It's an absolutely fascinating listen (I assume as good a read).. It's a serious eyeopener. As someone who has diabolical sleep patterns, even the first few chapters have already convinced me get my sleep on track, whatever the cost.

    Here's a link to what Bill had to say.
    https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books/Why-We-Sleep

    I started a thread on this over on the Sleeping and Dreaming Forum . ( The thread drifted a bit off topic :( )

    I found the (talking) book interesting and useful.

    Some on here might find it useful but as Fathom says 'no shoe size fits all'

    I’m only on chapter 2 and it already has me reassessing everything. It’s just incredible how amazing the human body / mind works when it comes to sleep and sleep rhythms. I’ll take a look at the thread now.

    I get that one shoe doesn’t fit all but, the fundamentals are for everyone. The night owl / early bird piece around forcing night owls into sync work outs of 9 - 5 as it’s the norm is a great point! A friend of mine is an early bird and forever telling me I could do it I just get up and go.. but now I have ammo :D

    Quiet in here tonight and here at home too.
    My Mrs is in the neighbours, no doubt sampling some vino or another.
    Me, I'm just finished up some work and am having a can of 7up and a mint chocolate or two while watching the end of the city west ham game.
    Are shenanigans a thing of the past?

    Having a crazy busy week in work, got home exhausted. Went out for a 5k run, then walked the dogs and now contemplating an early night with my Kindle, a glass or two of vodka and the dogs snuggled up with me.

    Couchside after being at the gym, a lot (if not all) of my work undone as grabbed an chocolate bunny while I was waiting at the checkout in Lidl (buying only milk!).

    I have no will power - the €1.29 bunny is pretty good though lol

    Fine tuning myself for the starting gun.
    I've shaved and I'm ready for the shower but I feel listless, so I've sat down with a cupan tae in the hope of getting a bit of life into me.
    The oldest dog is looking at me and saying in his mind I can tell, now you know what it's ****ing like to not want to go out.
    But I need to go in so I will heroically put myself through it.
    I slept really well at least.
    Happy Thursday.

    I'm also priming myself for the day here. Cup of tea. Bit woozy, and I didn't touch my wine last night. The whippet is offering me one of her speed sticks here. Im flattered, she only offers her paw to me. If she doesn't get attention the investigation cone comes poking under my arm (elbows on table, typing).

    I want to eat. Any ideas on something nice to tempt my little old lady appetite?

    We all know life has its ups and downs but the craic here used to provide a laugh or at least raise a smile.

    Confession: I thought last Tuesday was Pancake Tuesday. So all round to mine next Tuesday for pancakes. Some savoury, some lemon and sugar and some with something sweet. All welcome...
