    That finally the winter miasma of SAD is lifting...
    SO I can start carefully to build up a little stamina.. Knowing me though!

    Oh forgot yesterday to add that I SAW A BIG BEE, almost crashed into my face.

    That I have a quiet day ahead as I am GOING OUT all day tomorrow! On the razzle...all planned although that means nothing the way I drive around now. Flask and a sandwich... Used to live in Mayo so may look up folk there too,,

    That my big cat is not dying as i thought yesterday; he has just gone totally nocturnal... so sleeps the sleep of the just all day !

    Besides the sun shining and a great laugh with neighbours this morning? Seeing someone, who has been disingenuous, being caught out and hoisted with their own petard.

    The first tulip of the year has blossomed. It's nice to see them but does feel like the year is flying by. (ie passing me.)

    "Did you see us Nanny and Grandda? Did you know we were the dogs in the parade? We saw you and waved. We're not dogs any more because the parade is over."

    A 6 year old and 4 year old after the St. Patrick's parade this afternoon. Who wouldn't be happy?

    Hoisted with their own petard you say?
    I do like an interesting turn of phrase.

    Some say 'hoisted by their own petard' but the correct usage is '..with their own...'

    I always thought it was 'Hoist by their own petard' but google tells me it's all acceptable. :)

    TH I have a chocolate bar and a cup of tea! :)

    Sure, Google would tell you anything. :)
    My books say otherwise but they predate Google by almost a lifetime.

    Enjoy the chocolate. I may go down that route myself very shortly.

    A successful end to a four day course. It's the start or rather the restart of the development of me, my interests and career after having the children.

    The future is full of possibilities.

    TH at the thoughts of Graces7 going 'on the razzle'. :-)

    My nectarine plant, bought at half price in Aldi last year, has flowered. Just one tiny fruit would be wonderful.

    First weekend of getting out and about with our nine week old. Long walks in Crosshaven, Cork City and Kinsale. Got to go to my favourite burger place and got to watch a movie the whole way through for the first time since he arrived. The sea air knocks him out!

    Had a long relaxed drive in the sun, with dry roads and the countryside looking ready to leap into life again.

    With the great weather on Monday, small life is starting again. Just been to the loo at 4AM and noticed 3 largeish spiders hard at work. If that's not a sign of Spring then I'm going back to sleep :)

    I looked up in the kitchen yesterday and was horrified at the cobwebs.. Probably there before I moved in as looking up like that is something I am not able for often....Have had two huge spiders around since I arrived...

    A new day and mild and quiet out there... Pay rise from the UK has been notified....

    Finally got the sheets changed while the cats were eating..

    I needed cheering up this morning, so I turned to the giraffe cam. The first thing I see is a close up of April 'picking' her nose! :D:D:D Gross and hilarious in equal measure.

    April is great. Apparently according to the vets she is going in to labour now. There was 'twitching' observed down there yesterday.

    Hate it when she licks the web cam though...

    My husband is in the kitchen belting out the happy birthday song to our daughter. It's not her birthday for 7 months. Yesterday he sang her several Christmas songs :D
