@widdershins.... did the vet come to your place?

As soon as I got back to the hotel in my monkey suit, I got approached by 5 different people asking who I worked for and could I get them out of the country, one American lady is here as a tourist with her mother and baby, not sure how she got stuck as there was time to escape, but alas they are getting zero support from their embassy.

Compare that to the Irish gov who are arranging flights from Peru and Oz.

Sorry I'm not posting here as often as I have been, we're just really busy in work.

Came off a night shift this morning, went to Lidl in East Wall where I have to give credit to a staff member.. I was in uniform and a staff member (I thought he was being a smart ass at first) said 'You're in the army, you're asking us to stay inside and you're out.. I started to explain that I was on the way home from a 24 hour shift, but half way through he said 'I'm only joking, I'm bringing you to a check out'.. And opened up a check out so I didn't have to que.

I don't expect special treatment, but when all I want is to get home to bed after a long and hectic shift I was delighted.

So, had a good nap. Sat out the back garden in the sun, now waiting for an off-licence delivery

Poor Richo is missing his walks on the beach but I can walk him in an local industrial est which is empty later.

Hope all is good with you and all your family.

A little funny follow on from above.

I had to drop into the chemist in East Wall (before I got to Lidl), I went right after my shift so I was there a little before opening.

I used to live in East Wall many years ago, I married into an East Wall/Sheriff Street family. Nothing happens unnoticed there, its still like a small village.

Anyway, I was standing outside the chemist in uniform and coming under the gaze of the locals. I over heard a small group talking about 'looks like the army is on the chemist now' lol

One of the older one's shuffles down, curiosity getting the better of her, ''are yis on the chemists now?'.. ''Yup''... She looks back at her friends, chuffed with herself... ''Are yis locking us down now?''.. ''Nope, I'm collecting a prescription I left in the other day'.. ''Oh.......'' and she shuffles off back down to her friends.

I know what East Wall is like, it'll be all over the place that ''the army were on the chemist this morning'' lol

Light relief.

Back from pounding the pavements here in dublin 16.
It's so nice outside. It's like winter has gone. But I know it will get cold again at the weekend.

Passed by a wee Subaru on my walk. 4 young fellas in it smoking weed. I was more than a bit jealous to be honest as I tut tutted their lack of social distancing.

I am going to get seriously drunk tonight and I don't care. Cannot remember the last time I did that on a Wednesday night. I deserve to hide at the bottom of a glass just for one night and feel sorry for myself and mine and the whole fcking world.

Why not! I haven't drank in years but I polished off a bottle of wine one night recently. If now's not the time, when the heck is?!

I'm here in the kitchen looking at supplies and thinking I'm gonna make chocolate brownies with dried cranberries and walnuts. I'll wait until Friday though and then can enjoy them over the weekend.

Cheers Mak. I'm stuck into Disney+. Thinking of dropping Netflix for a few months. I need some innocence.

Change of plan. I'm making Mary Berry's Pecan and ginger syrup pudding with butterscotch sauce instead. The brownies can wait until next weekend.

Sadly, can't drink wine. Think they're might be some lager in the house. Not sure if I should in my current frame of mind, but it's verrry tempting ....

Not something I usually drink but the minute I think of it, I'm sitting outside this really great old pub, with loads of outdoor seating and an amazing view, on a hot summers day!

I don't think I'll take such things for granted ever again!

Dear God, I would do anything for a slice of that right now,fair play to her,it looks gorgeous.

I never thought I'd say this but work is my saviour at the moment, unbelievably busy and stressful at times but those of us still on site are having a great laugh when we get a free few minutes.Im almost forgetting what's going on at the moment while I'm in there,I'm not even my usual grouchy cow in the morning.

I'm on the wine as are most of my friends, I made gorgeous homemade burgers for dinner and bought Tesco skinny chips which actually taste like McDonald's but nicer. I had it in my head all day that I needed something kind of rubbishy and they hit the spot.

Couchside and happy here.

Widdershins

Just tea here. Rarely feel like drinking, especially without company. Seems a bad idea when unwell too.
Just drying my hair in stages. Hairdryer feels a lot heavier!
Im sandy light blonde now. Luckily I can do it myself so hairdessets closing doesnt affect me. Going to sleep soon.

Couchside watching The Wire with tea. No home drinking for Dave, I’ve always enjoyed the social aspect to it rather than getting a buzz on

Should be off the next 4 days but will work the next 2 anyway... Will see after that.
I can't go anywhere or visit anyone, so may as well be at work!
I realised today, I'm lucky I have to work. I couldn't stand having to stay in the house, work from home??! OMG, couldn't do it, fair play those of Ye that are doing it.

Because I'm never in, this has made me appreciate my home, as a home, rather than a house I sleep in.

Getting up every morning, the radio stays on while I sit at the table working.
