    Lexus seats (not mine). Bit of an improvement of bus seats.

    As the wild wind howls and the rain sheets in sideways, very very happy I can stay inside and that I have abundance of everything I need.

    Also a destination for all the Christmas bells I have been knitting; my family in Canada are adding them to the parcels they give for the-so-many very needy families there at Christmas.

    Happy times..

    Phone rings.

    "Hi Dad...passing your way..,.want me to pick up the paper and save you going out in that downpour?"

    A no brainer. Not having to venture out, daughter and two grandchildren stopping by and Mrs S is baking fruit soda farls. Happy days.

    Even tho I didnt think to leave them out, I at least put the sausages for my saturday treat on the top basket, so easy to find when I was looking earlier.

    There is coleslaw in the fridge, I might go all out dirty eating and make curry sauce to go with it.

    Not up to baking just now but assembled a no-bake flapjack that really hit the spot... Oh and managed to unblock the sink..and as my hands were cold, knitted a pair of simple " sleevies" for wrists..

    Small happies make for happy,

    Just arrived at my hotel in Sligo, having a grumble to myself as there’s a wedding on and they’ve taken over the foyer, hoping they won’t be too noisy and the check in guy never even acknowledged I’m here for a few nights, grumble grumble grumble. Knock on the door, half a grumble... room service hands me a plate of mini fancies and a note welcoming me to the hotel. No more grumbles! :D

    Seeing women participating in the Grand Slam of Darts.

    Suzuki, even though she narrowly lost against Price just there, played absolutely brilliantly and I think put on a great show of the standard that female dart players can play at.

    Found €50 in a coat pocket. It has to be there since about March.

    I bought some lovely things for Christmas presents in my local Aldi. I'm gone too old now for traipsing around in the cold and rain, going from shop to shop.

    The stove is roasting, and the radiators are hopping. Looking at my cats and dog, blissed out in the warmth, a sense of contentment all around. I wouldn't call the Queen my aunt!

    Chips and cuddy sauce.

    That looks perfectly edible.


    You hit the nail on the head. When those you love are happy you yourself need nothing.

    Had my family over for dinner tonight. Was so so nice. My partner made an absolutely delicious and also massive roast dinner and I made tia Maria baked cheesecake for dessert. Was all so lovely. My brother will be going away soon and won't be home til summer. Really sad he won't be here for Christmas so was great having him over tonight. :)

    I will also find you.. hunt you down... And demand you let me come over to your house and sit and look at it and watch a Christmas movie while the lights on the tree tinkle in my peripheral vision. Yay for Christmas!!!

    Jingle bells, jingle bells....

    Happy the roof is holding firm. …


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Cheese. Hailstones outside, warm inside. Great sound effects.

    Cheese. Hailstones outside, warm inside. Great sound effects.

    When you live in a "demountable dwelling" with an aluminium roof....Sound of that hailstorm was terrifying. Poor cat tried to hide under the bed but it is a divan..

    Happy thus the roof held!

    Because the only way the roof can go, this being a sealed unit, is for the entire dwelling to take off.. beware low-flying Graces!

    Well, for me, Advent comes before Christmas so no decorations etc until at least mid-December. No Advent Calendar, but the Advent Wreath. One more candle every week... That is the tradition I live in and enjoy. Totally happy in that.
