Sorry if that seems creepy, I am so soaked at the moment anything goes. Apologies if I offend anyone but I'm in for an all nighter.

Delighted to hear that. Keep going and we are here for you.

I'm in for the night. I could go for some action and adventure...even a bit of peril would do me nicely. Something other than the pub even though it's usually a good night, nice chats etc.
Thought I was mellowing with the shift to Autumn, but no. If OH was with me I could do it. Snuggle in for the evening. On my own even for a couple of nights, drives me mental.
I never seem to settle.

Back in the home house for the weekend as the aul lad and his missus are away and have asked me to keep some life in the place.

Cooked a massive steak dinner with sweet potato wedges and had a lovely glass of Rioja with it.

Now I’ve lit the fire and I’m about to watch the two Deadpool movies back to back. Bliss

Back from my holiday, just had the biggest cuddle with my cats and dogs. Missed them all so much.

Thanks Mam. It’s GAS but I spent Summers turning, footing and bagging turf and hated EVERY minute. Now, when I’m out home, my Dad puts some bags in the boot. There’s nothing like a turf fire ... never thought I’d say that!

Ah , the memories lol !
It was horrible , looking down the rows of turf that seemed to have no ending , but fun too !

Enjoy HB

My first boyfriend (the long-term one who is now the ex I sometimes refer to) took me to the bog on summer days where I'd help him cut and foot the turf. I guess when you're not from a rural background and you were never made to do it it's not a chore, and I really loved it. The sun, the wildflowers and insects and the quietness. I haven't had turf for a while but I enjoy stacking the shed with firewood and bringing baskets of it in and then watching the fire on cold evenings. Which is what I'm doing now.

Purple Mountain

Duvet Day's curfew has passed.
The dirty stop out.

Boyfriend was busy making garages or driveways or some such stuff all day, I spent way too much time on boards!!

It's amazing how invisible people can annoy me & also make me sad for humans at the same time.

It just reminded me. I loved the bog. Tea and sandwiches, catching footing clamping bagging .
Seeing dust devils and getting hit by one.

Dust devils cjmc? I've heard of fairy winds as they call the miniature tornadoes that whip and whirl through fields, spinning the cut grass up in the air. Wondering if they're one and the same.

It was only 16 or so years ago 0lddog...my ex showed me a lot of old fashioned things like that, and they were some of my nicest days too And neither of us drank or partied Two teenagers doing old people things and having a lot of fun with it
