    I know it's early days/restriction easing numbers won't show until next week/second spike in cases blah blah... but I'm taking the win for today. :)

    Delighted to read this on the news earlier - hopefully we are on the right track :)

    Think we're in luck. Not quite as hot or sunny but decent enough.

    I don’t know why but I’ve found the last two months have gone by very fast.
    Even the year so far. With everything I’d expect it to be a lot slower.

    Its definitely gone faster than it should have, if that makes sense. Into June on Monday and that means we're coming up on half way fast.

    I can’t believe it’s this far on. State exams collection day would have been this coming Tuesday and superintending starting on the Wednesday. Normally in glorious weather. Might actually get out in it this year instead, small thing to be grateful for.

    Paint actually arrived this evening. There’s my long weekend sorted :)

    May not seem cheerful, BUT :

    My garden was bone dry - hard as desert rock. Drought, no soil moisture, grass shrivelling, etc.

    - and now with the welcome dash of rain, the little ponds are filling up and the grass is enthusiastically growing and the sweet peas are simply rushing up!

    There's a lot to be said for a bit of summer rain!

    (Just not too much)

    I'm cheerful tonight because our cleaner is back working and is coming tomorrow! Not only is she a lovely lady, but having her every two weeks stops me from feeling like the house is falling down around us - I'm so looking forward to sitting down tomorrow house in a relatively tidy house (no doubt the kids will do their best to destroy it before bedtime :P)

    Very quiet in here today, think everyone was busy by the sound of it!

    Another week done, seems like you blink and the week is gone :eek:

    Will be Monday before we know it :D

    The local paper will probably go around to the hair dressers and barbers on Monday taking pictures of people before they go in and when they come out. It’s a small town not much happens.

    My wife has taken over the barber duties in our house. Both son's and my style are pretty similar and nothing too taxing so if she happy to continue will save a few bob (can redirect it towards the Christmas fund:))

    We had no holidays booked or planned so was lucky on that front. Just got a big house on Air BnB in Donegal for the end of the month so going with folks, siblings and families. Can't wait, something to look forward to. Be August when we get back :)

    I know someone (DvB?) mentioned a couple of weeks ago that July is last month with nothing Christmas related (BT Christmas shop opens in August) :D

    I booked my eye test Today. My distance vision is brutal to be honest. I barely scraped the driving test vision a few years ago.
    I'm looking forward to being able to see lights and decorations this year from a distance.
    I've no idea what glasses to get tough to fit my unusual head.:D

    Finishing up on a half day and heading to my sister's place in Wicklow. Last minute decision, just the 5 of us. Been a tough week so need a change of scenery for a couple of days and some relaxing family time.

    Have a good one guys and lets hope the weather stay nice :)
