Home now playing too loud music.
Any outdoor thoughts have been drowned by the rain. That’s my excuse and I am sticking to it.

You still there CS, I got it at about 2:45 or so, as usual it never comes on time, but it's in.
Got soaked at it too, but home now, out chores done and dinner ate.
I'm going visiting my cous now, he's off to amerikay tomorrow for a couple of weeks.

Kitchen table. Never really got going at the tech desk today. It can wait. Nothing major happening. Nice dinner for one out earlier. Now its still just one.:( Jaysus this is one lonely free gaff. Feck all on TV. Watched all my recordings and don't have the patience for Netflix. A bottle of beer so.:D

Out of work. Had two little traveller girls in with me today, and they were beyond lovely. (I am usually no fan of travellers) but I am so happy to be proven wrong sometimes. They were so polite, and interested in my work. Great chats. They talked about their culture and parts they wouldn’t conform to (too young to get married, wouldn’t marry a man that didn’t treat them right, one wouldn’t marry a traveller) and the thing that made me happiest was one of them wanted to be either a guard or a nurse when she finishes school so has no plans of leaving school until she has her leaving cert. they were intelligent, articulate and a pleasure to chat with.

I've lately started putting on meditation videos on YouTube to get to sleep. I was very cynical at first but swear to god they work.

I started off listening to an hour before getting to sleep, now I don't manage 15 minutes. Brilliant.

One in particular called release worry.

On the couch knackered. I have dinner for 9 done and cleaned up and I have 17 days of dinner for Mr elliot cooked blended and put in the pouches and ready for the freezer.

I'm still wrecked after yesterdays round trip to crumlin. We took the car after getting up early and everything ready to go on the train, we decided on the way to the train that we'd drive.. Lol, we were 2 hours early so went for lunch and a leisurely walk in the sunshine. It was only us and the boy so we actually got to have an uninterrupted conversation..
Got home at 7 last night to a clean kitchen, fires lit and vacuuming done, the 16 year old was home with the 4 year old.. . I was asleep by 10 last night.

Gym this morning and tomorrow again. I was able to do the double leg lowers holding 24kg (2x12kg) kettle bells over my face...

nothing like the threat of a smashed face to concentrate the mind..

I liked that film

Up on Catstye Cam, I know where I am
I’m in heaven, I’m a satisfied man
Got my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground
I’m only lonely when there’s people around
Dollywagon, you’re still my favourite girl
But on Catstye Cam I’m at peace with the world

Kind of, program format is an interviewer and a Guest.

Soft interview interleaved with playing the guests selection of 8 records they would take when being castaway alone on a Desert Island.

Program start in the 50's (?) on The Home Service, was moved to Radio 4 when the Beeb radio stations were reorganised

Huge back catalogue : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnmr/episodes/a-z/a

There's also supposed to be a one who tells travel interviews that send you to sleep but you have to pay for them.

Feck that, YouTube good enough for me.

6:55 and all is well, home chores done, getting breakfast before I head off.
Had a headache when I got up first, it's gone now though thankfully.

cbyrd · 06-02-2019 9:01am

Morning.. Had my lie in

I was up the first time at 6:15am because I thought it was later, started the boys water anyway then got back into bed... I've been snoozing the alarm for 20 minutes.. and he's done now. Nurse arriving at 8:30 so I'm not on breakfast duty, I'm off to the gym.
It's Strength and conditioning class this morning, it'll be the boss mans class so I expect to be done coming out. He's a fecker for adding more weights, I had the pleasure 2 weeks ago of finishing the class without breaking a sweat and laughing about it. Dumb fool, I'm on his radar now, his challenge now is to break me but I'm stubborn enough to say bring it on ....

A perfect assessment. But I have realised that the line I have bolded is no longer true of me! I love folk; when I could still get out so enjoyed the Lunch Club.. but these days that is just an extra and not a need. and no loneliness when I am among folk... So read " on the island" for Catstye Cam!

THANK YOU! I had not realised this
