why are grapefruit getting smaller? They are now the same size as navel oranges

Out this morning for papers and went down to the harbour at Rush. Spectacular waves but could not take out my camera as the rain was sheeting down.

Plenty of floods tomorrow I guess. Take care if driving.

Could it be that the wind is gone so i can finally fix my fences......... or is this the eye of the storm!!!

LeoB

Hopefully today is the start of a few decent days.

LeoB

Another good day today. Long may it last.

Full moon tonight. Took these (handheld) to see if I could get any decent detail. Bit of camera shake so will use Tri-pod later

Not me - I never put them up more than 2 weeks before Christmas. A lot of people seem to have put theirs up very early this year.

Martron

the gf insisted. we did not go crazy. but i think once its in after the first week of december its ok

LeoB

Late next week 15th or 16th is soon enough. Saw houses with them up 2 weeks ago. I look forward to the tree going up and the rest of the decorations but the first week in December for me is to early. On one hand we complain its getting out of hand yet so many buy into it. Mind you we have Santa sorted since July:)

Martron

ah sure its all for fun. xmas decorations in november is extreme. like xmas ads before halloween. that crazy!

Dizzyblonde

Once we're into December it's acceptable, and I think people are putting them up a bit earlier this year because we all need a bit of cheering up in the midst of the doom and gloom.
Sure if we didn't have Christmas to distract us the winter would be very dull and dreary altogether

Martron

Exactly. Hey you just made 3000 posts!

LeoB

So thats what you do all day.
3000 posts well done. How are the fingers from all the typing

The European Cross Country Championships in Santry were excellent.
Well done to Athletics Ireland and Fingal County Council for a job well done.

Below is our top finisher Mark Kenneally who finished 8th.

These athletes are amazing to watch up close. They just glide along, so natural. Great crowd there also.

Well finished all my exams (okay so I only had two!) And I did very well in both. I think I can stop worrying now about the college making a mistake with giving me a place.

Anyone got a miracle cure for sore throats? I've somewhere to go to tomorrow night, Sunday night, possibly Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night. I need to be fit and healthy but I don't think its gonna happen. And I've been waiting to go out and party for sooooo long!! I even bought a crappy Christmas jumper for the occasion.

I was in the Trinity Dental Hospital a few years back in the waiting area and a student nurse came out looking for "Hugh Jars". I was the ONLY one who copped it!! And she came out TWICE. I saw two dental students giggling over by a corner.

I don't know if you are into indian cookery, but if you are & you have some ground turmeric (bright yellow spice), mix a half teaspoon of the spice with a teaspoon of honey (Manuka if poss). Pop it into your mouth & try to get it to coat as much of your throat as poss.
Try not to rinse you mouth out for as look as you can.

Ooh I'll have a look and see what we have. I've got throat spray and I'm sucking honey and lemon sweets to beat the band! I can't be sick!!

Surley What you should do is put in a request to Dr HILL BILLY for hangover cure. Well done on exams.
