Got a €30 tip from one of my tables at work tonight. I was so surprised, so nice to get it though

Whocanibe · 05-08-2018 10:40am

Getting my daily challenges (Puzzles) finished in first go.

This exchange between me and my mam that just happened:

Me (pulling what is very obviously a bed sheet out of the wardrobe): is this a sheet?

My mam: no it's a ghost thats been hit by a car.

Me:........

My mam: oh you'll miss me when I'm gone!

:pac:

Granny on the way to mass this morning

“Can you believe it, some people don’t give the priest their envelopes when they weren’t at mass, bunch of currs”

Lives in her own world so she does

Going to Mass on a Saturday evening, so you can enjoy a lie-in on Sunday morning.

I was walking home from the shop and met three cats, two tuxedo cats and a tabby similar to poochies cat but not lucky who I met yesterday

, none of them were interested in chatting but it made me the happy all the same to see them

Another TH from work last night, I asked the manager if they'd have me back once I'm back from Erasmus, and he said yes

takes a load of pressure off

Whocanibe · 05-08-2018 4:24pm

Kitchen being back to normal after family dinner.

LilRedDorcha · 05-08-2018 5:00pm

I'm in a pet friendly apartment block. A guy had a beautiful, big husky like dog in the lift and he was being so good. A woman complimented him, asked could she pet him, and then did so when given permission. The whole encounter was just really nice to see.

Three ladies who walked away from my stall and went into the church were gone a long time..

Finally curiosity got the better of me and I crept through the gates

They were outside the church in a kind of little "holy huddle" so I crept out again

They came back to the stall with a handful of small change, asking to buy a rosary.. It was all they had on them..they were counting it , searching every pocket...

It was just so sweetly done..

branie2 · 05-08-2018 5:09pm

Galway getting though to the All-Ireland.

I'm living in Clare, but I have Galway roots.

iamwhoiam · 05-08-2018 5:12pm

TH for easy communication via whatsapp . One text and I could stop worrying

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 05-08-2018 5:19pm

Oh so much today. Had a wonderful day strolling beaches and parks with some of the older grandchildren. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and comradery was infectious.

Rubberlegs · 05-08-2018 9:04pm

I just got presented with a Guns n Roses t shirt that was on special offer in Penneys

TH at the beautiful, lasting fresh smell of the Aldi laundry conditioner. (I think it's called Almat, and I get the purplish bottle)

I normally shop in Lidl, but their conditioner smells of baby vomit, so I made a point of going to Aldi to stock up on the ol' Almat. HHHHmmmmmm....FRESH !

Music. I love it so much and it makes me happy a lot. Love doing stuff like gardening or tidying or shopping with the headphones in.

Whocanibe · 05-08-2018 10:35pm

Spending a lovely evening with friends.

Graces7 · 06-08-2018 6:41am

pending...

just out to feed the hens..One tried to make a bid for freedom but the squatter is on the island so until he has gone.. No idea if he has even missed them.

ANOTHER egg... 6 days I think 7 eggs

Dog is wired to the moon so we went down the lane a wee bit; me in dressing gown! Rose hips galore and plenty for me and the blackbird whose breakfast I interrupted.. A few more blackberries too and later may further afield, Stiff and sore and all but out of Nurofen+ Reward for pushing past limits.. It is very chilly out there

So a normal settled situation which has its own quiet happiness,

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 06-08-2018 8:35am

Waking to the distant sound of the radio, sun creeping around the curtains, someone singing and the smell of bacon frying.

Whocanibe · 06-08-2018 9:08am

Knowing there is a long lazy day ahead

and not knowing what the day will bring.

Belle E. Flops · 06-08-2018 10:50am

When you feel really lazy and just want to sit on the couch, but you make yourself get up to go for a quick walk, but then once you get going you realise that you're enjoying it so you end up going for an extra long one.

It's always puts me in a better mood.

madmaggie · 06-08-2018 11:04am

The yellow pears in Supervalu at the moment. They're so juicy and sweet, can't stop devouring them.

Got a sh!tload done in the garden today,

I read that as "Got a shift in the garden today" just made me laugh:D

Graces7 · 06-08-2018 11:13am

when I started the major reorganisation in my bedroom, the way I had the "new"tables left one with a distinct slant and it has been on my mind since, thinking it was a terrible task,,,

Amazed that it took all of 20 seconds to sort it!

Procrastination is a draining thing! And i am happy!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 06-08-2018 11:17am

Took a 6km walk that went through the nearby town centre. Shops closed and the footpaths busy with people out for a walk. Lots of smiling greetings and friendly passing by.

madmaggie · 06-08-2018 12:09pm

Getting my house cleaned up again. During heatwave I hadn't the energy to do only the minimum. Today I'm pulling out beds and sofas and hoovering like mad. Time for a boards break, and another pear!

I can knit again ! During the heat my hands would get sweaty making the needles sweaty and the wool stick to them . Now it moves along nicely and I dont need a tea towel in my hand to rub the needles every two seconds !

I learned to hate knitting in school, I couldn't turn the heel on a sock, and was forced to bring it on for the next four classes, when I left school, the heel still hadn't been turned

Th- No more school

razorblunt · 06-08-2018 1:32pm

Back yet again on Aer Lingus vouchers. Not only do they charge an admin fee of €8 or whatever, the name needs to be the exact same as the Passport. Which is ridiculous at they let you pay with any old card whatsoever.

So did I .. we had a dragon of a old teacher ( post war England; they had to bring the old wans out of retirement ) who used to cast on stitche s so tight on wooden needles then tell me to knit. Used to dread her seeing I had done nothing, as i could not get anywhere and would sweat and fret ( 5 years old) I got caned once over that.. :eek:
When I did finally progress to a doll;s scarf, it had so many holes in it the teacher sent me all round the school to every class so they could all see m y disgrace.

That was aged 7

I did not knit again for years - and at that time there were no shop bought jerseys so everyone knitted

THEN! started as a teenager, and straight to Irish Arans.. have knitted for the export industry here and never happy unless knitting. Totally addicted

This reminds me that I've been off work on holidays over a week now and haven't had a good music binge yet, going to rectify that later this evening, will go to my dinning room where I have my shelves of cds (yes I'm still on the old cd format) and listen to an hour or two of my music with a few beers, TH with that plan

Rows Grower · 06-08-2018 3:38pm

Heated up one of those small white roundy rolls from Lidl in the airfryer this morning and it came out so crusty and fresh I did a bit of a dance before I got it to the table and another one after I ate it.

(It was only bought last night, and no one was around to see my dad dance moves.)

MikeyTaylor · 06-08-2018 4:04pm

Ortis Deley calling the year "two hundred, 2011" at that year's World Athletics Championships. It may have been a mistake but I found it very entertaining for some reason.

Graces7 · 06-08-2018 4:53pm

time... ending... yawn.. have a lovely evening everyone... off to feed the hens, cats, dog... eggs galore...

Kitty6277 · 06-08-2018 6:23pm

Pulled into the car park at Aldi, and in the space in front of me just so happened to be my old car. TH that even though it's 16 years old, it's still going strong for someone

Off to see Ms Bianca Del Rio in the BGE Theatre

Graces7 · 06-08-2018 7:23pm

That the festival is nearly over... I can hear the loud music across the island... last boat off is I think 8.30 .. So glad folk had a great time.

Kindred spirits.

LilRedDorcha · 06-08-2018 8:26pm

Watching a storm from an apartment in a sky scraper. There's something calming about being inside when there's chaos outside. Also just saw one of the lightning rods on the other high buildings get struck by lightning, which is pretty cool.
