TH the laundry basket is fully EMPTY. Probably not for long but it's rare to see the bottom of it 😂

Behind me in the queue at lunchtime was a mum and toddler, they were chatting about the pineapples they were buying. Mum asked him where the pineapples came from and he said a tree but I don't care as it's going into my belly for lunch.

Th the child sounded so sure and happy that he was having pineapple for lunch. Also, such a small child can say pineapple so well at his age.

Th, the last of the items I have to pay for this week as arrived and once I pick them up tom, I'll have a clearer pic of my pocket money situation then!

I was waiting for an Amazon delivery and then saw that the van was outside my house. The driver was sitting in the van, and I was thinking that he looked familiar, even from that vantage point.

By the time I opened the door I realised who it was…Ringo Starr is now delivering for Amazon!!! 😄

When a really beautiful stranger walks past you and gives you a really beautiful genuine smile 😁

Its the little things, the TH things.

the gym was absolutely dead and just a real chilled vibe about the place… whoever was in charge even had the volume of the music at a level that wasn’t able to penetrate my noise cancelling headphones… which occasionally isn’t the case and the aircon was at an optimum temperature to keep us cool instead of the North Pole setting it’s been sometimes set at……⛄️⛄️⛄️

My 86 year old Father went for a serious operation this morning, they wanted to amputate his leg…they gave him another option but it would take a 3-4 hour operation under a General Anasthesic, which they didn't advise…..

He is awake and coherent, looks like a success…I'm so happy after the depths of despair of lads night…Thank You Everyone in Limerick Hospital…

New Home

Yesterday the car I was driving reached 58008 km. I even wanted to stop and take a picture but then I remembered I'm a grown-up.

Found myself in the strange position of having a handful of pairs of panties. Moving about so much, I acquired lots of pairs bc I couldn't find the older pairs.

Dashed into Dunnes on my lunch break and bought a pack at my usual size, they are a little loose, not falling off too loose but loose and that's a TH for me.

After putting it off for two weeks, yes I went to the chiropractor and my leg is so much less sore today, The pain has gone completely in one joint and much lessened in the other, the swelling has gone almost completely.

Happy happy.

super deal in IKEA, picked up 6 pint glasses for 1 euro each…as well as some nice bed linen for not an extortionate price….

Slightly better than paying 13 euros now in that well known O’Irish gift shop place for two branded Guinness glasses.

Saw the Portal in Dublin for the first time today and it's a deadly yoke 😁 all good spirits and people waving and dancing and having fun, all in the good spirit of it.

It looks very cool too, love where theyve placed it.

Visiting the Galway Cathedral and St Nicholas Church in Galway today

I just woke up after having a dream that was a bit sinister but with comic elements. Even though I can't remember most of it, I still have the same satisfaction you would have after seeing an entertaining film. 😊

My bus driver this morning. He's the chattiest, most cheerful gent possible. Has put me in good humour for the day.

At the Galway v Donegal football match at the weekend.

Still laughing at the excitement of a young Galway lad in the row front of me, at the final whistle when Galway won. He must have been about 7/8. He was that excited he did not know what to do with himself. He was roaring along to N17 by the Saw Doctors one second, hitting his seat another minute.

But the bit that really amused me was he was that overcome with emotion, he spontaneously gave his older sister a big long hug.

It was great to see a young lad that happy, and that into the match. He seemed fairly quiet for most of it engrossed in it, and lost the run of himself at the end.

Having a bit of lunch in a local cafe. There was a couple at the next table with their grown up daughter and they were all so loud. I was about to post on the TA thread.

But now they are gone, noise levels have dropped considerably and I can relax with my cuppa. TH.

a totally successful day and so far week, plus I get to spend the majority of tomorrow chilling watching the cricket….

That rather than than responding to an inane new thread I look to see how many posts the OP has , under 100 I’m moving on

We're not allowed use our laptops because of the Crowdstrike issue and I don't have a work phone yet as I've just started, so I'm currently in the park with my dogs 😃

Happened to be in a tesco just as they were restocking the ebola fridge. Four katsu chicken curries and two 12 packs of mixed Indian starters, €5.20 for the lot.

Nice family dinner for less than the price of a some coffees :)

Listening to the rain drumming on the roof of the mobile! Wouldn't be holidays in Ireland without it 😊

Potential-Monke

Just started a new job (that doesn't make me happy, all work makes me sad). It's alarm monitoring. One of the systems uses the same alarm sound as the Red Alert on the Starship Enterprise. Alarms may go on longer than expected... love that sound!

Just spent the am with a youngster who showed me some AI that takes a volume of txt.

If this prog is readily available it would be a game changer for learners like me who have bad memories and illegible handwriting, could open up education for those of us locked out of the listen, remember and write style of learning.

Possibly breaking the cycle of poverty/suicide in some cases.

French Toast

Currently browsing Boards.ie on a desktop PC, the first time I've done so in a couple of years I reckon. Brings back good memories.

Finding Law and Order SVU is on Netflix. Nostalgia watch!

found my driving licence which I had mislaid and given up on finding. Putting stuff away for safekeeping was instead putting stuff away for not finding. 😸

Tesco self service couldn't scan a 4 pack of burger buns so the lady told me to take them for free.

They were coming up as unknown item.

Brennans brioche buns, incase anyone wants to try it.

Apparently I wasn't the first person.

Wikipedia’s new dark mode. Pretty good actually.
