Just had a haircut by my own fair hand. 2 inches, as it had become wispy tipped and I put it off since last summer. Much less irritating now. Looks thicker.

Tidying my books and watching the changing weather, sun clouds sun clouds...

Getting a wisdom tooth out at 8am tomorrow and then have to go on into work. Not looking forward to it tbh....

Can you not take the day?

I know they don't give a cert, but I was absolutely exhausted after I got my first one out. Removed on Thursday I was useless ( more than usual) until Saturday /Sunday. I took the Friday as annual leave and parked in front of the TV.

I got another removed when pregnant so no painkillers with a two year old also running about...to be honest I've had 3 removed (2 at dentist one at dental surgeon as impacted) and I didn't find it overly painful, just uncomfortable.

Good luck

Eleysian

I wish I could Princess.
I work in a university and have a colleague visiting from the US who will be giving seminars tomorrow. I have to be there really. Hopefully he be will be gone about 3pm so I can come home and recover a bit.

You deserved a medal for doing it when pregnant and with a two year old!

On the plus side you can stock up on the "good" over the counter painkillers

Seemingly the risk of infection during pregnancy can be dangerous, so it had to come out. The dentist had already flagged it as a future problem and the pregnancy aggravated it and brought it to a head.


Best of luck, hopefully the seminar isn't more painful than the extraction

Home after a productive day.
Did sfa tbf, but got into some negotiations with my boss and he wants me to take some of the work on contract myself after I finish up on Friday, something I wanted in a while but they said no, part of my reason for quitting in the first place.
We agreed a deal today anyway so I'm happy out.
Cooking egg and chips for dinner, I'm tempted to have a couple of sausages too.

Work work work....
Today is my Friday though

Just back from roadside...🚲

Visited a friend of mine and gave him his new fryer. It was living in my cupboard for 16 years unused. That’s the guy i got my trustworthy “The Donk(ey)” bike trailer from. He is happy, i am happy and i brought back 26 bottles and 19 cans. Easy 11,25€ drinking money earned. 😄

Got a free lunch and a beer at the local aquarium club as well, perfect day.🍺😋

^^^ Love your posts black forest.
I was reading about your “new” bicycle you were putting together the other night. I thought how nice it would be to cycle through Germany.

Cup of tea and homemade butter biscuits. Viewed a cottage in Co.Limerick.
Need to see others but I think it's the one for us.
Finally letting myself think about what life will be like.
Sleep tight, lovelies.

Homeside again, after being out and about with the camera. Not the smartest decision, given the temperature and wind outside...

The whole area here around Freiburg is bicycle crazy. 😉

Freiburg, the next bigger city just 18km away, alone has over 400km of designated cycle lanes and paths. The whole region is plastered with tarmac dirt roads which are getting used as well. As you can see on my piccies there is nearly everywhere one just next to a normal road or is crossing the fields directly. Since decades the “Tour de France” makes a little detour here as well.

Jan Ulrich, the doper, was just living in the next village for years. 🚴🏼😊

There are literally thousands of kilometers open for bicycles. The whole valley of the river Rhine is one big cycle paradise. And when that’s not enough you can always venture uphill into the Black Forest. Personally i like it flat with the occasional little hill in between.

Absolutely gorgeous for me are the rides through a summer night and stopping right in the middle of the fields enjoying the silence and the stars. ✨ 😄

The OpenStreetMap below shows only a small selection of bicycle routes around my place.😉

Deskside with a tea and the snoring visitor cat next to me on “her” personal arm chair.😂


P.s. Freiburg is celebrating it’s 900 year jubilee this year. My little village is celebrating 1200 years. What do these city slickers know about history.😂

Eleysian

Wow - thanks for that information Black Forest. So well described. I might just start planning a trip. You are a great ambassador for the area.

Bedside - dreading the dentist. Ho hum...
Have a good evening one and all.

Good luck with the dentist, Eleysian. Don't forget to put your tooth under your pillow for the tooth fairy.

Couchside considering a cup of tea.

Heading to bed before I lose my temper. So goodnight mi amigos, may tomorrow be good to you.

I am hoping she is a lovely tooth fairy who will leave me a nice box of Nurofen Plus under my pillow for any pain. I am such a wuss...

Have a good day one and all.

Who hoo.
Four days off! Going to visit friend & her kids in the country today

On the tram to work, it's disgustingly wet and cold out. Kids were with their dad overnight so I was able to have a long shower in peace this morning

Morning all,

Sleety ran falling just 2.4C

Morning All!

Doggies & cats happy out. There is definitely a stretch in the evenings (I'm sounding more like my Dad every day) as Dippy & Dappy Duck refused to be housed last night ... it took ages to shut them in. I'm deskside waiting for the smallies to arrive and preparing to make pancakes. Had a blissful drive into work. "Chariots of Fire" was playing on Lyric ... it's just gotta be a sign that a nice day awaits!
Wishing all Wherers a lovely day!

It's in a townland called Bruff

I'm not fond of that name but would like to know what An Brù means, as thats the original, Irish name.

I do love the fact that the river there is called the Morning Star river. Limerick seems to have awkward place names but beguiling river names (the River Mage is another magical sounding one).

Late check in today, I had a doc appointment and nearly forgot but my Mrs didn't, so I had a desperate rush around for a while.
Came across this little story, thought I'd share.

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h in 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus flight, boring flight isn’t it? Take care and have a look here!”

He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, only to swoop down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?"

The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now have a look here!"

The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After five minutes, the Airbus pilot radioed, "Well, what are you saying now?"

The jet pilot asks confused: "What did you do?" The other laughs and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, went to the back of the flight to the bathroom, got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake.

The moral of the story is:
When you are young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, comfort and peace are not to be despised either.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older, Smarter.

Dedicated to all my friends who like me likes the S.O.S. approach! ✈️

I look forward to the day I learn to s.o.s and I'm not younger than most people here, as far as I know

Wow, I didn't realise that it was still used regularly. In aviation the only use that i can think of is for Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) radio aids, and we don't have any to them in this area.

Hang in there Grem.

Cooking a fry (in the oven) for lunch. Not for me. Glorious sunny day here.
Cut more of my hair.
Nothing else happening here.
