That was a bit OTT. Not like he meant to insult or demean anyone.

Have checked and it still makes me TH.

Bad things happening to others is often a TH for you, that's pretty telling.

After one of the most stressful weeks of my life I was made TH by being able to hit pause today, and spend time cuddling my horse, buying bedclothes, looking at pics of a friend's new baba, watching catch up tv apps and eating takeaway.

Being away from my dogs for 7 days/nights. Family member had them and while they were fine for the first few days, the last 3 nights the big dog stopped eating his food and was dirtying the floor during the night.
They were so happy to see me the big dog peed himself.
Anyway my TH is how cute they are and so smart. Big dog knows me inside out, he has a sore (arthritis) leg. When he's in trouble or he doesn't want to do something his leg gets so bad you'd swear it was going to fall off.

It's raining badly and they hate rain. I half heartedly tried to bring them out for wee wees. Big dog came running across kitchen cause he saw me at the fridge but realised I wanted him to go outside in the rain, he limped back to bed so disheveled looking you'd swear he had it amputated and got back into bed.

Their dinner was still in their bowls so I tried again "come on let's do weewee" and he started diving into his dinner looking to make sure I could see what a good bit he was eating his dinner instead.

They make me happy. I love them more than I love myself.

FM104 as Gaeilge on Sunday mornings. I'm not a hardcore Gaeilgeoir although I do hold out hope the language doesn't die in my lifetime.

I find FM104 on Sunday to feature relaxing, pleasant and fairly easy-to-follow spoken Irish (they all seem to be Dubs rather than people from Gaeltacht areas with indecipherable dialects). They mix this in with a lot of contemporary Irish music.

A nice gentle reminder that we are not just a region of the UK and are culturally unique in lots of ways still.

Getting invited to a a big sunday lunch with, hopefully, all the trimmings.

Having coffee in my favorite spot in Dublin City (The Debenhams top floor café overlooking Liffey Street and parts of Temple Bar).

So peaceful. I could sit there all day 'people watching'.

Vox Nostra with Vlad Smishkewych (hehe. I had to google it!) on Lyric FM on a Sunday morning is in another world. I know I've said it already here but it's just gorgeous. Baroque music, early music and loads of haunting spiritual music that you'd never hear but that's very apt for a Sunday morning. And he rarely talks except to give a bit of the tune's history and let us know when similar live music is being performed.

If Lyric FM could move this man into the morning slot during the week instead of that enormous waffler who plays pop and country music (I thought the whole idea of Lyric was to have something different) in between having a talk show with himself, Lyric would be consistently a breath of fresh air for alternative/classical/world music on Irish radio.

People watching can be very enjoyable ...I was at a lovely hotel yesterday afternoon for grub and went out for a smoke(don't judge) just as a wedding crowd were starting to arrive.I leant up against the window and decided to take my time and enjoy the carry on,weather was shocking so it added to the drama as people were trying to run from the cars holding onto to hats but struggling in heels.It was hilarious ..now I'm in no position to laugh because I've been that wedding guest hobbling in heels and minding my hair but I did laugh tbh..some fabulous style there but so much fake tan that must have been put on in the dark,dresses that should have been a size bigger and the blue suit brown shoes look for men was so common I'm gone off it.I could have stayed there for the day watching and thinking I looked better in my jeans and T-shirt than a lot of those guests..ðŸ˜

Yup! you got me, I have an evil sense of humor.
But from my point of view, nothing happened to Leo, he brought it all on himself with his lack of management or ignorance.
I post here about the re balancing of things, ppl getting their comeuppance, it cheers ppl in these times of inequality, if other ppl see it differently, its down to their way of viewing the world.

TH that the sense of humor that helps me help ppl is noted here AND helps me stay sane.

Thanks to the crappy weather and not being able to go out, I've been able to spend more time on the dinner. Nice roast and all the trimmings cooking away. House is full of lovely smells
