We should have then more often- yum yum. The french and yanks have them on a regular basis.
They are quick and easy, why we only have them once a year?

Have to admit I love pancakes too , and always ask myself on Shrove Tuesday why I don't make them more often for myself

I'm not mad about pancakes (the thick kind), but I looooooove crêpes, be they sweet, savoury, with no filling or topping at all, I don't care.

I can't make the fluffy thin ones. Mine turn out thick and doughy

If you beat the albumen separately and fold it into the batter they usually come out lighter.

There's the most beautiful smell of lillies in the kitchen.

Just off the phone from my neighbour ... I’m bringing him to get his vaccine tomorrow. The man is delighted!!!

You know when you've been feeling down and worried and you just decide to give yourself a day off from it all and not care.

As part of my day off, I'm going to have a super bubbly bubble bath, do my hair and makeup real nice, get into my jammies, light a blazing fire, get cosy and then order a humongous chinese takeaway.

branie2 · 20-02-2021 1:24pm

Fryup in a little while

KatW4 · 20-02-2021 3:08pm

My cat got into bed with me this morning. He was so cute. No matter which way I turned or curled up, he curled up right next to me. He was like a furry hot water bottle.

Dial Hard · 20-02-2021 7:06pm

Just ordered the Mother's Day box from Michael's. Cannae wait!

Enjoying a lovely Belgian Beer (actually a Belgian Style beer from Latvia) in front of a nice briquette fire watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix

20-02-2021 11:39pm

I must say Liverpool's monumental collapse has been enjoyable to observe.

21-02-2021 11:00am

About to get a fry up going with all the works.

Peace and quiet

Poochie05 · 21-02-2021 7:12pm

A grand stretch in the evenings

YoshiSays · 21-02-2021 7:41pm

Flock of sparrows going nuts each morning now outside the window. It's just cheep, cheep, cheep, they can't sing but they are so full of enthusiasm. Even in wet weather. Never give up!

KatW4 · 21-02-2021 7:54pm

My car is all packed up with my school stuff ready to go back in tomorrow. I am so nervous but so excited to see my little ones.

Now I will relax for the evening and eat far too much food!

21-02-2021 10:15pm

The peace and comfort of bed. Ah it's lovely

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 22-02-2021 12:00am

I treated my 31-year-old-man-child-self to these off Amazon.

Horizontal on the couch after a tiring day. I think lying down is my new favourite pastime.

YoshiSays · 22-02-2021 9:41pm

A rover landing on mars with a helicopter on board, transmitting HD video to earth via orbiting satellites ...
This is not trivial, it's really awesome, in the real sense of that word, but the fact that I was treating this as trivial, until I had to stop and think and realise this, makes me happy.

22-02-2021 11:26pm

After watching one of the most inspiring documentaries I've ever seen called, into the storm: surfing to survive. I will admit I shed a tear a couple of times watching it.

Kivaro · 23-02-2021 12:12pm

The thing, which is certainly not a trivial thing, that made me happy today was hearing the news of our elderly citizens getting vaccination appointments all around the country for Thursday and Friday of this week. These are the people in complete lockdown for the last year and finally getting an opportunity to start dreaming of a real life again. These are the people who also laid the groundwork for the transformation of Ireland into a first world country, so they should be cherished and protected.

ancapailldorcha · 23-02-2021 12:44pm

Went to the local park over the weekend. Was nice as it was cool but not quite at the point where it was uncomfortable. Sat at my usual spot and cracked my book (well, Kindle out). Ironically enough, I was reading about the exact same thing in the exact same place as I was when lockdown started in March 2020.

The subject was Henry VII trying to negotiate the marriage of his son to Catherine or Aragon if anyone's interested.

I completely agree.
But as a healthy retiree in my late sixties I am happy to wait for my vaccine until all the special needs teachers and SNAs are brought up the list. Schools would be so much safer if all staff were vaccinated.
I am lucky that I can enjoy the 5 kms around me and shop very carefully or online. I can keep apart from people and talk to my family from a distance.

Retail people, parents of vunerable children, carers are welcome to be ahead of me in the list.
There are probably thousands of older healthy like me who can survive another few months and allow more needy people get on with their lives.

Listening to the NI women's soccer team bluffing his way after a 6--0 loss to England.
We played against Norway and lost 6-0, had a great reaction in the return game which we also lost 6-0 . ?
Bluffer !

My online dating messaging is bombarded with twenty something neckbeard gamers lol.

One of them is smitten with me. Thinks he's in love after two messages even though I told him at forty eight I'm not interested and old enough to be his mother. Amusing lol.

Bredabe · 24-02-2021 12:32pm

I have two and a half deadlines on the go currently, the overdue one was accepted without the most time-consuming edits having to be done,
the one due midweek has been pushed out for a week!!!

I know it's kicking the can down the road but I feel so liberated now.

A long long shower and walk my immediate future.

Bredabe · 24-02-2021 12:36pm

Stupidly gave myself a break from my no sugar diet while I was in the midlands in the summer, was giving out to myself about it as I have to start again now.

It was really really bothered me, as my blood due soon and I hate those with the endless doom and gloom (tho my sugars have always been normal tg)

Had a peep and found that I have months and months longer than I thought to my blood tests.

Oh how lovely. Mammy would never allow us pets and I never got round to getting one later on but I always wanted a kitten. Never thought of them having little snores : )

Yellow Roses and a trip to Dealz

Purple Mountain · 26-02-2021 1:43pm

It's Friday. This has been one of my busiest weeks at work and I'm off today after a meeting was cancelled and I have switched off now for the weekend.
Enjoying some February sun.

Antares35 · 26-02-2021 2:02pm

Baby (and by default, me) slept until 10am

Had a lovely walk just now and met so many peoole out walking with their dogs, kids, babies, some picking up rubbish etc. Stopped and had socially distanced chats. Was so lovely to just reconnect with human beings and have a random chat with strangers

KatW4 · 26-02-2021 6:47pm

Week one done in school! Such a lovely week with my little kiddies

but I am very glad for the weekend, I forgot how tiring it is.

A gin and tonic is the perfect start to a weekend.....:)

For the first time in probably about a year, I opened the home page on boards and not a single one of the most recent posts were in the corona forum. Small moments

madmaggie · 27-02-2021 12:48am

Watching a rerun of Still Game. Love the characters.

bnt · 27-02-2021 8:36pm

I don't drive, so I have to carry everything I buy at the shops, and that means I rarely buy alcohol. I treated myself to a bottle of whiskey over the holidays, but I hadn't had a beer for at least a year ... until this weekend, when I relented and got four cans of reasonably decent Pilsner in. Very nice after a bit of house work.

4Ad · 28-02-2021 2:24pm

Did a run in my sleveless running vest, and I was too hot !!
Beautiful day in East Clare..
