A takeaway latte, and you get a little chocolate with it. Sitting in the car for a few minutes, sipping the coffee and watching the world go by.

I enjoy this kind of weather - dull, windy, rainy. I find it so relaxing. I always put my window on vent so I can hear it. Another thing I find (albeit bizarre) comfort in, is; being up early in the morning - with weather like this, get a roasting hot cup of coffee and just stand at my back door with the door open. Sometimes I even enjoy walking home in it. I could've got a lift home from work last night but I opted to walk. I dunno it just feels nice.

Call me weird.

I don't enjoy bright, sunny, warm days. The only time I prefer it is if I want to cycle my bike to work. I won't cycle in rain.

TH that it eases the auld feelings of agoraphobia..

I like that weather too (until I get rich and can afford a car ). Good walking weather, like getting from a to b, unless it's proper pelting down and blowing a gale.

Reasons being twofold:

1 Highly unlikely someone wants to stop to shoot the breeze.
2 Those folks going by in cars; who are relatively hidden, are going to have their view somewhat obscured by the rain, condensation and wipers etc; so a feller feels less "on view" while he's strolling along..

lol.. I miss Butlers. I used to treat myself when I visited my friends at the Trad Farms at Muckross so it had lovely connotations.

My happy is that I managed to order some badly needed bedding linens online. I miss charity shops desperately. And hate online shopping just as desperately.. although getting 20 pairs of socks accidentally on ebay for the grand sum o under E15 including postage was one of my better moments! ( thought I was getting 10..)

Enjoy it while you can. I remember that being my lad's little speciality and he loved when we laughed back (even though you'd be wtf?!).
Now, I'm met with radio silence and a closed bedroom door

We made it a whole half term in school! It was very strange and lots of horrible/strange changes but it was so good to be back with my little ones. Lets hope the schools stay open now!!! However, as much as I love them, I'm glad of the break because I am exhausted and very fed up of sanitising toys, books, tables, shelves and myself every 2 minutes of the day!!

My 'Allo' Allo boxset arrived, can't wait to dive in. You really can't beat the old comedies where there was no such thing as the PC brigade and everyone was a target for a bit of light humour

It was news to me yesterday i had just finished a 60+ hour week so I'm very happy to have 3 relaxing days with himself.

TH having my second hot beverage of the day, and it's just a lovely cup of happiness and warmth. I'm all cozy in my chair watching the passing showers.

Happy that the fire /stove agreed to light on the third attempt. It does this when the wind is in this direction every time and this wind is a gale and\ bitterly cold.. Toast, anyone?

I'm going to get the stove going, put up the feet and watch the rugby. Looking across at the neighbour's chimney, I think they're doing the same. Odd thing is, I keep thinking it's February.
