    I was feeling very lazy a few minutes ago so I thought to myself "Say a word to make you get about of your seat" so I said out loud and by myself without thinking "Dírbeathaisnéis!!". It wasn't until I stood up that I remembered what the word meant: "Autobiography!".

    And I don't think I was being inspired to write one. Even though I'm not a fluent Irish speaker, I remember that word from studying 'Peig' in that late 80s, but hadn't thought about it since. :D

    That's all...

    Spotted a chocolate orange egg on sale before easter, its was about a tenner, I'm trying to wean myself off sugar and was too broke to buy it.
    I've been very good with my exercises and spotted it yes, it was on sale for €2!
    Sitting chillin' in the fridge now!!!

    Was listening to one day like this on various formats earlier and it blew away the mental cobwebs.

    Seeing the smile on my granddaughter’s lovely face when I sang “happy birthday” to her - on her first ever birthday - over WhatsApp. Totally made my day!

    Honeybear that's the cutest thing!! You're so lucky!

    I had two zoom meetings last night. The first with all of the teachers/SNA's and Secretary from my school. Was great to see them all!

    The second was for my cousin's 30th birthday. We had a quiz and drinks! Ended up chatting until 1am. It was brilliant!

    Today I'm having an extremely lazy day. I'm still in bed and it's noon!

    Zoom is a great job. On it for the first time last week . Cousins from all around the globe.
    Only thing was I didn't set the view up right so I didn't know who half them were. But we'll do another one soon

    Cut my boyfriend's hair and I didn't butcher him! His neck line is a bit short but ah well it'll grow back! Proud of myself because I am very clumsy and untidy usually!

    I think if I had have been there, and it happened as in the film, I would be the Walken character.
    I was the kind to disappear on a night of on my own.

    My daughter came in just now asking if I had any pencil grips as her biro was uncomfortable to hold. I'd never heard of such a thing, but what I did have was a roll of duct tape, so I wound about 3" around the biro where she grips it and she declared herself satisfied.

    It's the little things... :)

    Is that a Red Green quote?

    Feeling unusually tense and anxious this afternoon, so I turned on the telly and found Irish Paint Magic is on TG4. I haven’t an artistic bone in my body and would go out of my way to avoid art galleries, but this is just the most soothing programme. I cannot explain why seeing a painting emerge from nothing makes me so TH, but TH I am.
