It’s snowing here too. While also being Sunny.

And only yesterday I was sitting out the back in the sun drinking cider. Ireland is mad y’all.

We got a hail shower this morning. Had to run and bring the clothes in and was finished before I got back inside!

Blazing sun now and warm out of the wind.

Sunny here most of the day, although pretty cold.
Think there were about 4 snowflakes earlier this afternoon, but that's the extent of any blizzard around these parts!

Just looked it up there, "Recipe for a Perfect Christmas" sounds very hallmark, was it any good?

As formulaic and lame as you would expect, but Christine Baranski as fab in it and made it really watchable.

Bright and cold out there this morning, more wintery then spring!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Back at it today however felt like a proper time off so don't mind too much. Also only working 3 days this week as off Friday for youngest birthday.

To be fair, Christine Baranski is brilliant in everything

Postman just arrived and it was snowing, poor guy. He's the nice one but only covers leave and illness in this area. He always seems to get the really crappy weather.

We had some snow this morning. It came out of nowhere, no warning at all. Usually there's an eerie silence and stillness before it arrives. Great to see it.

I've had Christmas songs going round in my head all day today! Must be something in the air.

Just yesterday I had to use a van in work that's there for the maintenance dept, it doesn't be used a huge amount so got in, started it up, let it run to warm up for a minute or so and started fiddling with the radio and what so be on preset number 4 but Christmas FM.
It was a bit sad that nothing came on but I had a little smile to myself thinking, I probably put that on the last time I drove this thing

I regularly dip into the ChristmasFM app, to avoid Covid talk or other stuff

Tunes unuasally come on when I am running as I just shuffle the songs, I always skip them but end up later in the day humming them.

I downloaded a few of the more recent Christmas albums recently, Gwen Stefani's, The goo goo dolls & Megan Trainors, finaly got around to updating them into my iTunes library the other day and updated my christmas playlist also to include the ones I'd heard on Christmas FM last year... I must admit I was tempted to have a listen, but ultimately resisted. It did give me a craving for the build up to come though I must admit. I think I'll be craving it even more this year than last if my current mood is anything to go by.

Very quiet in here today. Actually quiet on a couple of the other forums I read as well.

Maybe the lifting of the 5km mean people are out and about more!
