    4 puppies came to visit us in school today! I sat on the floor with my class for an entire hour just playing with the adorable little fluffballs. So much fun!

    Just asked my partner to bring me my charger. He told me to call our golden retriever. I did and he had looped the charger around her neck. Made me lol.

    Deeply content to emerge after the van had been ,after their mainland trip, to see the boxes of groceries, spare gas cylinder and a bag of coal at my gate...
    Happy to live where the needs of old and housebound are so well provided for .

    Just was so reassuring with the weather ahead...

    I am not really one for online crazes but I am really enjoying the Dolly Parton Challenge. Simple and funny.
    Won’t be doing it myself of course.

    At the edge of my wits for the past while, had a reiki session and head massage earlier this week.
    My endlessly threatening cystitis, low mood and sleep issues, gone!

    Got my tax relief on last years medical expenses. Can squirrel it away to buy a nice gift for my dad's birthday:)

    Was shopping for some clothes and my fiance paid for a dress for me. Wasnt about the money but just felt really nice to be treated :)

    Jacob-cat finally came home after 24 hours away. He has developed a bad habit of doing this. Worries me silly . Now asleep on my bed and snoring gently! Sweet happy relief..

    Happy to have done my most disliked task; parcel of knitteds to Canada! Has to be weighed punctiliously and for some reason however careful I am I often have to perform a kind of Caesarian after packing!

    All done, a huge cooked breakfast enjoyed and all work done so a very happy Sunday ahead now.

    Off to Mass via the internet!

    Grace , I have discovered a cheaper way to post parcels to BC Canada .If you buy the prepaid yellow box from An Post it is cheaper to send 2Kgs

    You buy the box for €9 then fill it to under 2Kgs and pay €11 to post to Canada
    Its also a fine sturdy box but light weight so very handy to send

    Thanks but it works out about the same as I send packet not parcel.. meant packet; apologies So as long as it is under 2 kg....half the cost of parcel. because of the sheer bulk and size of knitteds I send 1 kg now as they tightened up on actual PACKET measurements recently And I do not have personal access to a post office. Postman kindly takes outgoing from the gate Been sending stuff for years so worked out the cheapest. . Knitting being bulky stuff also means I can send less for a given size. Parcel post is anathema! Packet is reasonable .PS checked the box and it would not hold enough...Packet can be twice that size.... Appreciate kindness greatly.

    My sister-in-law loves cooking and knows I won't/don't ... she's just after dropping in the most delicious meals for me. Happy days!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,173 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    I approached a guy on the uni grinds list-he's always been to busy to help me previously.
    I told him what I needed and then womaned up and told him Im dyslexic and I would need this and that outside of the norm to help me with the info.

    He said 'you dont scare me, my job means I work with models all day'

    So happy to find a fellow picture thinker!
    Such a difference from the usual reception I get in those situation!

    So happy to have a family who have made it their life's work to serve others. All are in education, health, or social services. Mrs S says we must have done something right. I say there's no "we", it's all her doing. The happiness comes from seeing how they have actually made a difference to lives.

    Just spent a few hours in a huge bookshop. Now sitting by the window in a coffee shop, sipping a delicious coffee, watching the slightly rainy world go by. All small things that make me feel happy and content in the moment.

    TH that i could migrate my docs from the old version of WPS office to the new one. :D


    I’m prone to mess things like that up and lose half of the content.:pac:

    In the meantime i’m so used to type on my ipad mini that i rarely use my lousy netbook anymore. Another TH is that i slowly get the hang of my tumblr site. Now i just have to fill it up. :D

    Last night when I got home I discovered that the young girl that lives across the way from me had built a little snowman on my wall (Exhibit 1). :) So I did the only thing any reasonable person would have done: I built a snowcat beside it. :D (Exhibits 2 and 3) Hope she got a kick out of it this morning when she went to school - it had started to rain about 20 mins before I left for work, so I don't know how long our creations survived.

    I also brought the cat outside for two minutes so he could touch the snow (Exhibit 4) - he could smell it from indoors. :) When I brought him back in, he had an attack of the zoomies. :D

    Aawww NewHome that makes me happy! I love that. I hope the little girl saw it, she would have gotten such a kick out of that. I hope the cat prints were near it too, like they came to life in the night.

    They were on the other side of the car... which would have been gone by the time she went to school, so yes, there is a chance she might have seen them... unless the rain washed them away. :)

    I walked for 80 minutes and climbed three flights of steps and down tho I dont think the down counts, today

    Discovered that Limerick has a new food place called Chippy Chicken. Food can be trivial, but this place makes me so happy! They sell either chips, chicken on chips (with sauces, etc) or a chicken burger. And it's absolutely amazing, and is the cause of my discovery of love for Gochujang Mayo! If you're ever in Limerick, and you like chips, chicken and sauce, get it! I'm gonna drive in on my day off just to get this.
