Have worked a few 12.5 hr shifts Christmas days in the past myself, never when we had kids though.

I'd picked up a Rocketbook Everlast as a present for my brother, seemed an interesting concept & cheap enough at under 50 euro delivered
Basically it's a reusable notebook, you write in it, use an app on your phone to upload it to a number of different online storages, wipe it clean with a cloth & use it all over again!

Didn't think it would be as good as it actually is!! If I was a student writing notes again I'd find it very handy, not having to type out handwritten stuff. I guess it's a bit like a portable whiteboard with screenshot capabilities :P

Just thought I'd mention it here as it could be useful for someone!

A great aunt of mine paid for her funeral when she was seventy, probably paid a bit over the odds at the time but she lived to see 100!

Absolutely no disrespect intended Ganmo, but my eyes were reading faster than my brain and I read that as 'she lived to see it'

I'm taking a long shot here and best guess it that someone is holding a phone and taking a picture of their local mounted pack gathering for the St. Stephens Day hunt

Local hunt, Ward Union have a hunt every Stephens’ day.

I was wondering why they are in such a built up area, is that where the original clubhouse was/is based?

What’s the story with a lad daming a stream? Sister in law has a stream passing through a meadow and the neighbor has damed it on his side to make a pond, result is water backing up. Can he do that?

Fair play to them the last time the local hunt was here they opened every gate,took down all the temporary electric fence and asked the BIL to ask me for them was it alright to hunt across the land.
That’s decency for ya.

** The other thing that I would look at is if the stream is a know spawning water or if it is marked as blue on the GLAS maps iykwim.

I'm a celebrity game complete with mealworm, cricket, chilli, buffalo worm, rice and beans.

Santa brought a 4 player laser tag set between the girls, 150ft range. Can play individually or as teams.

Best of fun running about outside like a bunch of crazies screaming and roaring.

What brand did you get?

I bought a pair of Bekina's myself and no way could I get used to them. I had a pain in my left foot from wearing them.
I had to go back to the Badeau.

Had intended going to Newport Dairy sale today. Apparently we're all going to the Limerick Races for some family get together.

I'm going always last to find out these things and have zero interest in the nags.

Even if most humans left the earth no worse off through their actions that would be a huge benifet to mankind.

You'd see the above happening and the philantrophy/legacy being felt no doubt for thousands of years.
Warren Buffet's son Howard is another whose philanthropy for the benefit of agriculture to poor families will be felt for thousands of years. Whatever about the big man himself..

Then you have the opposite and young people/not so young in this country deciding to take their own lives.
The journey of this life or the will of the gods doesn't make sense.
