I have 4 friends that would and have done similar for me, better than any lotto win, I'd take the proverbial bullet for them. You're very lucky NH and I genuinely appreciate mine every day.

Blessed you are.. waiting so far in vain for someone who knows I am impecuniously carless to offer a lift to the supermarkets etc!

But my good neighbour the ferryman came immediately when the gas connector failed and went to town specially next day..

Meanwhile I am setting up supply lines and rather enjoying the challenge.

Happy to have purposeful knitting that will sell to feed the really needy; been pottering at the wool for too long.... Cream cabled legwarmers for Canada..

This makes me smile and smiling is a happy..

Ah brill, you are in for a great read! Hands down one of the best books I have read in recent years. I must check out Strange Weather.

TH I have two new Stephen King books to read courtesy of the Book Depository, you can't beat the free postage. Stephen King makes me so trivially happy. I have been reading his books since 1987 when my Mum got me Misery as a Christmas present.

Which ones you get? Also love Book Depository

Found my iPod nano that I hasn’t used in about two years. Still works perfect. They don’t even sell these anymore. I never see people with these, maybe gym goers use them possibly

I was using it on this bus this morning and you can change songs without looking

Tap twice for skip, tap thrice to go back. So handy

Well, I'm just happy that I found this thread. It's really given me something to smile about over the last year and a half that I've been lurking here, especially given the repeated kicks in the face in my private life. Hope you don't mind me posting more often from now on

I was given the last of us remastered as a Christmas present and I finally get to start it now.

In bed waiting for it to load, a cuppa in hand.

I could get used to this

Dishwasher fixed, repair man gone, can get back to lounging. Watching Startup with my free Amazon Prime trial

Found a box of LP's from around 50 to 60 years ago in my mother's attic!:)

This will seem shallow, but...

I woke on Monday about 9, my wife was getting ready to go to her first fitness class in a few weeks. She always does them in the mornings when I am already at work. So got to see her in yoga pants and a bra, my first sight of the week. She really is a beautiful creature!

(After 20 years together, 4 kids and lots of change, she is still perfect to me...)

Ariadne

Welcome Thomil!

That was a lovely post Dickerty, not shallow at all to think your partner of 20 years is still perfect to you

Well now my TH seems especially trivial but I got an eyeliner that has a stamp for the wing bit, I'm absolutely sh1te at putting on make up and I'm lazy so this is a great life hack for me.

Also TH because my mom is coming to greet me at arrivals and she said she's dying to see me

Decided to listen through the Top 500 Albums as per Rolling Stone magazine this year. A dozen through already some quality tunes being uncovered.

Bredabe

When I got home this afternoon, I found girl dog eating boy dog's food.
She has a liver tumour and on a special diet, symptom of her condition is not liking the scent of things she would ordinary like.

I noticed she looked and behaved more energetically in the past few, something as normal as stealing her brother's food, is so heart-warming.

I have won over my neighbour's two horses with carrots and apples. I'm not a horsey person, but they are susceptible to bribery. When I walk past my neighbour's gate, the whole menagerie appears, three cats, a dog and two horses. The neighbour is tempted to call me Maggie Dolittle.

Being on your own at a film at the cinema. No-one talking behind you, and less of a mess for the cinema staff to clean up

Down the lane here are a pair! A huge Spanish mule and a tiny black Shetland that hides under the mule. They wander down here sometimes. But have long memories of the barking dog..

The very first of my indoor forced hyacinths is in bloom. Pure white and the fragrance is divine.. Was aiming for Christmas but not done too badly! Blue ones almost catching up..

Going to see Welcome to Marlen in the cinema this evening

Saw 4 beautiful cats in a driveway having a feast of meal and I was calling them over and they took one look at me and went back to eating again .

The scent of hyacinths is intoxicating. Some years ago my cousin was dying in a nursing home, I brought her a hyacinth in bloom, the scent always makes me think of her.

Watching Welcome to Marwen in the cinema this evening. It was very good.

Purple Mountain

After eating my own body weight in chocolate this Christmas and having no routine since it started, I'm so glad it's finally over and tomorrow I'm going to gleefully toss the tree onto a compost heap and say adios to the season of overindulgence (before facing the pine needles embedded into the carpet floor).

Finishing off the last of the Baileys

Ah they have been grown on indoors and planted out. Like the ones they will have for a euro in supermarkets soon.

No they havent Grace , they are planted for years on the side of the road and I doubt very much the council is going around doing that !! We note them there every year as they are an early bloom but never in January .

Our first daffodil is fully blooming as of this morning and it's been in the ground about eight years at this stage! I am therefore happy - daffodils are my absolute favourite flowers. This one outside is just so bright and cheerful looking against the dull greens and greys and browns of winter.

We still have fuschia and geraniums in bloom here in a sheltered garden in Dublin . Looking out at my garden now you would think it's October !

Lost the fuchsia etc to the gales and storms but the grass is rich. Watching 2 of the cats rolling around on it in glee
