Hit the laptop/PC and enjoy the IFI Archive Player. Lots of folk on here from Cork and the link below is really worth a watch. Cork city and west/east Cork from 1936. A decent change from crappy news and Netflix drama.

A Poem
Seph
By Guy Person


This here is a little ditty
About Seph and his issue with Fair City
He gets paralysed
These are no lies
For this misfortune he has my pity

I like Apothic. Its chocolate-y.

Sure you could always grow your own grape vines. I've had grapes ripen easily in good hot summers here.

In the good old days...i.e. a few weeks ago myself and Auto met some marsupials ..:)

My guess would be Wallaby Woods here in Kildare or a similar wildlife place elsewhere in Ireland. They weren't in Australia, that's just a Kangarumour.

Wallaby Woods!

Somebody likes alliteration.

Under GDRP rules I insist you remove your cameras from my premises. 😂

Ironically I am on the red wine, I've been very good but I'm going all out tonight. I had a bad day work wise and to make it worse I made a mistake, a fooking rookie one which makes it worse, I'm fuming with myself but I can only tell myself that it could have been worse...still I'm kicking myself.

On the other hand I've had windfall, not enormous but I'm absolutely thrilled, couldn't have come at a better time...and can I add I'm not posting this to annoy anyone as I know we are all struggling at the moment but I had to share it,these things just never happen to me.

TLDR,I fuming over something, I'm delighted about something and I'm on the wine.lol

Trigger Happy

Watching Narcos and thinking I took up the wrong career.

Listening to YouTube on the telly. I think pink speaks to my soul. Not a huge fan but her lyrics and manic behaviour in her videos, I feel it.

Grandeeod

Watching more great stuff on the IFI Archive Player. A brilliant way of seeing why we are in the social/housing mess we are in and Covid-19 wasn't around then! So glad I'm spending this down time watching some great stuff. Staying connected to my roots and reality. It might save me. It might not. But at least its honest. Enjoy yourselves folks any way you can, but be honest with yourselves,

JupiterKid

Watching TV, my OH insists on watching a lot of news and current affairs (watching Prime Time now). Makes for very depressing viewing. It is complete tragedy and carnage in Spain right now.

On the plus side, managed to get the dry run for my online lectures up and running. So much to catch up on over the next week...

Stay safe and well Wherers!

Trigger Happy

Today was my first news free day Jupiter. It wears you down over time. So depressing.
I needed a reboot so a few days of no news and only talking to optimistic people is what I need.

Couchside. Chillin', listening to my favourite (mellow) music mix.

Happy-tired after few hours of phone calls to friends and family, both here and stateside. And happy-full after Mexican-food night. Where's RedNeck when ya need him to remind you whats what when it comes to Mexican food and tequila? Hope he's ok. heh.

I *might* go mad and watch Sicario again.

Sephiroth_dude

I haven't watched the news all week I don't think, just can't bare looking at it anymore, I traumatised enough from being forced to watch fair city!

I'm down to reading the latest on rte news online.

Been saying that for years trig. Unless it directly affects me I don’t want to know, and if it does directly affect me, to be honest I still probably don’t want to know.
Our boilers broken and the house is freezing. Hope it’s going to be fixed tomorrow

Back to normal nightshift Saturday.. Sly fecker caught me half asleep when he phoned me earlier. Though I think it's a proper reason they need cover this time

I did a big shop this morning. First time out in at least 5 days. Despite eejits not thinking about it, I am. Happy enough to sit in again and again and for whatever it takes. I had some great alternative viewing tonight and have lots of usual options for back up like recordings and Disney+:D

I drop into the news twice a day to keep up to speed, I never ignore it. I'm facing up to the financial reality and remaining calm. What else can you do. All happy here. Loads of food and drink and chocolate. I very much doubt there will be a divorce case in my home as we are so connected due to life experiences, that it's a real united front. **** times alright, but this house is happy for now. Can't ask for more.

Just off the phone. Feeling shocked and numb.

A good friend from my college days phoned me to tell me that another college friend’s wife took her own life this morning. She was 40 years old and leaves behind her husband and a son and a daughter, aged 12 and 9.

She had been struggling with depression and anxiety the past couple of years and left a note telling her husband that life for him and the children would be better without her burdening them - and that the Covid-19 situation was the final straw for her.

I met her a few times over the years - she was a very outgoing, elegant and lovely woman. Last time I met her was at my mate’s 40th birthday bash a few years back.

God this is awful.

Leg End Reject

Sorry to hear that, Jupiter. The never ending negativity is getting to all of us, it must be tortuous for people already in a bad place.

Her poor husband and children.

No words JupiterKid. Just no words for that.
So sorry. God love her and the poor survivors.

Awful news Jupiterkid,so sorry to hear that,her poor family.

Mam of 4

So sorry Jupiter Kid , that's so sad , am lost for words tbh .

Oh Jupiter, that's so sad, we just never know what is going on in someone's head.

That's why I hate people saying things like ' oh you're grumpy today' or ' what's wrong with you, cheer up will ya'
People just need to allow others be themselves.

Such a hard time for her family now, restrictions making it harder for people to comfort them.
So sad.

Grandeeod

Nothing to add Jupiter.

Jupiter I'm so sorry. That's all there is to say from me..
