I came across a lovely black and white cat and decided to try Sephy’s slow blinking thing.
I felt a tad daft standing there, but after the second blink, the cat did a half blink, half eye roll thing.
I walked away grinning, feeling like Dr. Doolittle

Next time, slowly squint and turn your head slightly away, it's a sign they can trust you 'cause you won't go for their throats.

Came across an absolutely massive glade of bluebells in the woods about a half a mile from my house. I haven't been in that woods for about 15 years and didn't remember it, but walking among the bluebells and ferns in the speckled sunshine with the red kites crying out overhead just made me so happy

We FINALLY took down our Christmas tree last night.
No, I'm not joking. We had nowhere to store it and my boyfriend had thrown the box it came in out, so we were waiting for my parents to clear space in their shed to take it from us. It made the sitting room look so cluttered and it was up so long I was having to dust the baubles on it.
Might not bother putting it up this year, I'm sick of the sight of it!

I did that one year as I was in hospital right after Christmas and left it there a long while,, My small artifical one got lost in the move though.. wonder if i could make one? That'd be happy

Can my TH be in the future? Because I'll be very TH at 11pm when I'm done work. Trying to use that as motivation to go in, as if I had a choice in the matter

Two year old granddaughter on a sleepover. Should be fun.

Another fine day and the wild flowers in my little woodland are surprising me everyday with new varieties and subtle colours,

Of course it can. The anticipation is often the TH.

TH when my friend rings with juicy gossip.😂

Two weeks until all the woke bae type lads will finally wake up to the fact that they're not actually going to get the ride just because they voted yes...

Darkness has veiled the light and all is still and renewing silently . Happy too to be in a dark sky area and yet to have the comforting rhythms of lighthouses and the various harbour and buoy glows to guide us into home.

The snoring of that child down in the room. She could snore for Ireland. But it's making us smile and remember her mother snoring almost as loudly decades ago.


They don't take after me.

Suuuuure.

I have recordings to prove it. I always told Mrs S it would be my first exhibit at the divorce hearing.

I'd be wary of her recordings of you.

Don't judge others by your standards.

I woke myself up with my snoring more than once, S., but at least I'm willing to admit it.

I'm glad I live in the depths of the countryside where the referendum campaigners seldom venture.

Amen to that. And read"never" for seldom.. And that goes for JWs too.. so far anyways!!!

To get to me a ferry ride and a long walk!

Happy to be snug and safe and alive.

When I came home on Sunday evening after a weekend away, the kids actually missed me and ran to me for hugs.

My missus has these hideous gumbies flip flop/sandals that she loves. She wears them everywhere. They're after getting a bit worn and she was looking at the website the other day so I just ordered her a new pair in this outrageous colour that I know she will love. It makes me TH that I know she'll be delighted

Heading to Waterford later, looking forward to scrummy food at Grow HQ.

Had an early fishing session; fishing was excellent. But my TH was the Nature. Had a brief conversation with an Otter who came close enough to touch my boots. The birdsong was majestic; every common garden bird plus skylarks, linnets, and chiffchaff. The volume was incredible. Kingfishers darted along the water and not another soul in sight.

Coffee date with the maddest sound aul bird I know

Had a phone interview with my placement supervisor person scheduled for today. She called at bang on noon, so glad to have it over with as I didn't know what to expect from it

Exams more than half over, and the worst of them behind me!!

I've not had a real holiday for quite a few years now due to commitments, I know and have been told that I badly need one. The trips to O/H in London are lovely and all, but they are not a holiday. I keep waking up with panic breathing, trying to figure out cash flow to meet all the things that need to be paid by a specific time and the holiday was getting lower and lower on the list.

Yes, I had another panic attack over it all, a few hours later a friend I don't see much with all my travelling asked me if I wanted to go away with her for a few days-her treat-as im not going to her wedding.

Not a great one for universal timings, but this couldn't have been better timed!!!!

Lorelli!

Had a lovely lunch out with my parents earlier today

On the way home, we stopped at the side of the road to buy strawberries. The strawberries were 5 euro each and he was also selling new potatoes for 9 euro.

My dad said to him, "give me 2 of the strawberry punnets and ill get some potatoes aswell if you give them to me for 7 euro"...rather than 9. The man said "sorry I can't do that" so then my dad said "ok, give me 2 of the strawberries for 4 euro each and I'll take the spuds for 9 then" and the fella selling them said "ok" :pac:

The wee lassie who slept over last night has just gone home. TH that she wanted to stay - shows she's happy here.

Last coffee date with the girl I share an office with. Aw.. :pac:

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

The way a bracing coastal breeze clears the head and invigorates. And the friendly "good morning" or just "Hi", given with a smile from fellow walkers.

The welcome given by cats and dog when I have been out all day...amazing
