Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Nabbed from the "I bet you didn't know that" thread in After Hours but I thought some people here would enjoy it's Christmassy theme:The city of Rovaniemi in Finland, where Santa Claus Village is located was rzed in revenge by the Germans in 1944.
It became one of the first properly planned sustainable towns on the planet, even going so far as to do Environmental Impact Surverys for the Hydro dams looking at the full impact on plants, animals and especially local reindeer.
when planning the town, the lead architect Alvar Aalto designed it along the lines of a reindeers head.
This is the initial plan, the town has grown considerably, but the outline is still there, on Google Maps, turn it 90 degrees to the right and use the football pitch as the eye of the reindeer.
Original Plan
More detail (plan is now turned to the right about 60 degrees
Google Maps view, not so clear as it has more detail and is built up.

And an article on the town.0 -

Yaaaaaay, the older child finished senior infants today for 2 weeks, younger child is finished in creche for the same time too. Both were literally bouncing off the walls earlier despite the miserable weather.
Finished the shopping first thing this morning in Lidl and SV but am now after looking at the Lidl and Aldi catalogues and thinking I JUST MIGHT need to get one or two more things...
Got through the mini crisis in work too and all was resolved earlier this afternoon and the work phone has been fired into the drawer until the 3rd. Once again... yaaay!!
Some Graham Norton prosecco is chilling and will be consumed when the kids are in bed.
Really feeling the mood now!!!!!0 -

Brought chocolates in for the staff in the chemist next to my job, because they give me 60% off of my prescriptions, of which there have been many this year. Also dropped in my prescription.
Came back for it later, they'd put it through for free
This season of giving is benefiting me!0 -

On a happier note, it's the last weekend before Christmas! Can't believe it's come around so fast. Every year it gets to October and flies in!!
I just have a couple of hours in work on Christmas eve, then a week off. Can't wait! Badly need some time off work, it's been crazy lately.
Relaxed this morning (after a lie in) reading the Christmas RTE Guide and will be heading out soon to do the Food Shop. Turkey time!! 0 -
