Haha!! Yes, it was my handbag.

Th the way I always find something good when I tidy extra thoroughly. Maybe money or my favourite jewellery or pair of gloves. It's like a reward for making the extra effort.

A real Th for me lately, no longer looking gaunt, and now having my curves back again. Enjoying good food again. A healthy glow and bouncy hair.

Happy in a way that I finally sorted out my bank manager on the phone y'day! YAY! Long overdue :eek: And all in perfect courtesy...;)

Happy too that all is prepared and set here whatever the weather does . They know re the shopping etc and have been reassured that whatever they do or not is fine by me. Hate folk to be worried when they have other needs.

Two posh Americans just got on a near empty Dublin bus and asked the driver which seats are theirs, he told them anywhere, but a window seat is an extra fiver.. love some good humor

Food shopping.
I adore it!
I could wander the shopping aisles all day, looking at the packaging of products, how food is displayed and all things retail.
On holidays? One of the first places I'll go to is the local supermarket to see all the local foods!
Feel lucky each time to buy food to provide for my family. I know theres many who may find food shopping a financial stress.
Makes my wife very happy I take care of it too!

Being told I am an enigma. That's just because someone is trying to label me.

The brilliant scarlet of haws on the hawthorn hedges. Going to make ketchup from them.


Wondering if some kind of seed and cuttings bank could be organised on the gardening forum as I have a very plentiful garden and would love to share.

Got loads done outside today. Planted wallflowers and irises for spring, summer raspberry plants for June, cut and edged the lawn. I've earned a few minutes messing on the internet. A day to be happy to be healthy and looking forward to my flowers next year.

When I'm cooking, I usually crush up garlic by hand.
I found tubes of garlic puree in Aldi on Sunday. They are so handy.
Its the little things

There's a plant and seed swap thread. Nice to swap surpluses.

Happy to have had a lovely day to get winter ready. Got patio set disassembled and put away, cleaned the chimney and tidied borders. Very happy to see next year's bulbs breaking ground.

Having a working radiator in my bedroom. When I lived at home the past four years (before moving out) I was relying on hot water bottles and storage heaters for warmth but my room was always cold.

This is great!

The list was unusable. There's more than a thousand entries for every letter of the alphabet. I would have been there forever, so I just winged it in the end.

I have Nice with pork, or gamey meats. Need to find a stand of Rowan as the one in my hedge is deep in the hedge and inaccessible.

Happy at the rows of blackberry jam and juice, and rose hip syrup....

Had to text the young manager today about work tomorrow because the one I really needed to talk to wouldn’t return my calls. Anyway he told me we have cocktail training tomorrow!!! Cocktail training!! Unreal!

Email this afternoon asking about the possibility of an updated preface to a book and a new epilogue if possible. I said I'm past writing epilogues but could update a preface in a couple of hours - lo and behold, the publisher was more than happy and a nice little advance as well.

Sulking because Grand Designs didn’t make the long list for the Boards Best TV Show Ever!

I'm sulking too because TWD got knocked out. But should these be in TA thread?

Being able to listen to YouTube in work this afternoon because there was nobody else in the office. Had a full on 80s love in - from Michael McDonald to Tom Petty to Lionel Richie to Aha to Tears for Fears. Brilliant songs!

Having the window open listening to Lorenzo howl outside. Nice and toasty in my bed watching the Dark Knight.

I watched the rugby match with my class today (mild general learning difficulties class of infants). I explained some rules to them and they got so into it. They coloured Irish flags, made Irish flags with bricks, one girl drew the match and coloured it red and green for Russia and Ireland and another little girl drew all the players with their green jerseys. I was so proud of them, they showed such interest and understanding. It's amazing all of the little things they did today. Such little cuties!!

Easons have a 3 disc 80's compilation CD, ten euros. Got it recently, and enjoying it.

That I still have a roof.. Lorenzo keeps having a go at it..… That all my cats are safe inside.. snug...

Widdershins

Waking up to the sight of my charger light glowing ... full electricity.

And my trees are still standing. They bent and whipped with the wind but didn't break.

Happy to have Jacob! He has been terrified during Lorenzo, which came back in full force soon after 4 am. He pulled a sheet off my bed and wrapped himself in it like a mummy..

The mat he is snoozing on was one I had just knitted from small oddments from the Springwools box.. As soon as I put it down he claimed it; scent of me, Big happy cat... Thank you Jacob!

That they replayed the John Delaney gardening leave episode on gift grub this morning. So funny

I had an Indian head massage the night before last. I get daily tension headaches and face pain and the massage relieved it until today, which was good going. Healing hands

Read about that on the TA thread Seph. Obviously that person has a serious case of d!ckheaditis. Don't let them bring you down!

There are very few advantages to having a bad memory, fewer when its combined with a heavy cold with muzzy brain!
One advantage of it is.....................walking straight passed the bolax who tried to intimidate me in work last year(until he was promoted sideways).

Took hours for me to remember who he was.
