    Had my first pint in a real glass in a real pub yesterday. Felt like a Christmas night out (even though it was the afternoon, sunny & warm and in June:D), everyone was giddy with excitement and in great form!

    We went to the zoo on Friday, cracking weather for it too & with most schools not off it was busy but not too busy if that makes sense. Hadnt been to the zoo since 2019 and really enjoyed going back. Its incredibly well set up & other than the indoor areas being closed everything else was pretty much the same. Kids had a ball of a time which meant mum n dad did too!

    Also, got my ticket for the game on Friday sorted which means I actually get to go to a match for the first time since March 2020!! To say its like the last few days before christmas is an understatement, i'm like a kid waiitng on santa basically!! Weather should be decent for the week for the most part so even with work being mental its starting to feel like normal is within touching distance.

    Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

    Nice. Love the Zoo, is so different now to what it was like when I was a kid! The African plains is my favorite area.

    What match you go to?

    Its a different arrangement completely from going there in the late 70's early 80's thats for sure. Its more than doubled in size overall in that time too.

    Heading to Rovers v Harps on Friday, its one of the test events so we can have 1000 people attend. We have 2 more lined up too but the expectation is that numbers will be able to increase as the summer progresses, assuming all goes to plan and we dont get a spike in case numbers/hospitalisations.

    Its great, isn't it? :)

    Always know the 8th of June is 200 to go because it's my Dad's birthday today.
    I also know that Sept 16th is 100 days to go for no reason whatsoever ha ha

    Its 299, 199 & 99 that I have ingrained in my head generally, but same principle :D

    I was like that. The fact that my sister and her oh (both in their earlier 40s) got their data before me really drove me crazy, though my colleague hasn't been called yet and she's 50. It makes no sense!

    We're into the 190's,
    Over the next 100 days we'll hopefully have a good Summer.
    We'll have sporting event, longest day of the year, August Bank Holiday.
    When we'll enter the second of the 100's we'll hopefully see Christmas bits arrive in the shops.
    Then the schools will go back, programs start for the Autumn on TV and the days will get a bit shorter and by mid September we'll be into double digits.

    I just logged on to Netflix on my phone to re-check, it was 'Have yourself a Merry little Christmas'. Also the first scene is all snowy.

    I find with the evenings when you’ve a warm Summers day and your out in it and later in the evening of it.
    You sort of look back on these and It can often feel endless and bright for a lot longer than it is.
    If that makes sense.

    Sooo cloudy and overcast today, but still humid as hell. Disappointing weekend, weather wise!

    An absolute beauty of a day here in Cork Posy - nothing but blue skies and about 24c.
