Hi Seph.
Were you sulking or just lurking?
Mam, how did your hair cut turn out?
I'm taking my annual leave starting today but it's such an anticlimax.
I'm looking around the house for jobs to do instead of planning nice trips

Turned out great PM thank you. It's huge the difference having your hair cut can make you feel , always a nice boost imo .

Enjoy your leave , you'll plan a few nice trips around the place I'd say

I was on the M7 yesterday and today for the first time in months. I nearly pissed myself with the sheer excitement. But I got done today in Kildare for spoiling myself at 134kph in a 120kph. No mercy. But then I'm delighted to cough up the fine to contribute to the busted economy.

I'm not really.

Welcome back, Seph!

Cat Lady, sometimes it's just lovely to know someone thinks you're special, even when the timing's wrong or circumstances don't allow anything to happen or you're falling just short of feeling it yourself. Fair play to him for letting his feelings show with that gesture. That takes courage and is a sign he's fairly special himself. These are the gestures that you carry with you through life and sustain you through tough times.

Speaking of which, it turns out I did a bit of damage when I fell today. As I tried to right myself my ankle gave way (thanks to my stupid, fabulous, groovy 90s vibe sandals with the tyre track soles ) . It didn't hurt that much at the time and was just a bit sore for a few hours after. But once I tried to stand up after lunch that changed drastically. I've now got a ridiculous walk that would function superbly in a paraody of the Gestapo lads in 'Allo 'Allo.

Proper little rain cloud I am today. Keeping myself smiling with a memory of someone who let me know he found me special long, long ago (Please don't tell Mr. Sardi, Cat Lady has me all nostalgic)

Now it's time to limp off to make a bed (baaad idea to change the sheets today) and chase down a cat so he can have his inhaler. This will probably hurt a lot but look hilarious.

Just back from the supermarket. Trying to go in person every other shop so I don't become a total recluse.
Young lad cycled in to me, came around a blind corner on his bike at full tilt. Gave me some shock but he got an equal shock as I just shouted WTF at him a couple of times! :pac:

There's plenty of hoovering and mopping here if you're at a loose end.

I'll throw in a takeaway too.

Ah yeah they're forever on the N7 and M7 these days, it's a novelty to do a journey there now and NOT see a Guard or a speed van. I'm on that twice a day Mon-Fri and ya gotta drive like a nun on there really. Or a priest, I've no idea why I resorted to such blatant sexism there, just drive like a member of the clergy, I don't mind offending countless catholics once I keep it gender neutral....

Actually I was driving on a rural road the other day and tipping along in my (not so) sexy red van and like most modern vans you cant see back with rear view mirror and I was in the process of attempting to open a bottle of orangina (closest thing I can find to Britvic-55 these days which used to be BEAUTIFUL by the way) and eventually spotted the blue lights flashing behind me in the wing mirror. Fecker in his jeep tailing me and giving me the flashing blue lights, no siren though.
So I checked speedo and 104 in a 100 zone. Was well p!ssed off.
No hard shoulder so I'm now looking for somewhere to pull in but cant find anywhere and also now frantically trying to get lid back on the feckin orangina. Eventually I just had to indicate left to let him/her know I was intending to pull over when I could and I'm rehearsing my speech about 104 in a 100 being harsh when suddenly he overtakes me and flies past me.
Then I copped (pun intended) that it wasn't a Garda jeep but a fire jeep.
He pulled in a bit up the road at some houses, none of which had any smoke coming from them so God only knows.....
Some relief though. Never drank the orangina after. Got in and poured myself a nice glass of vino instead. :pac:

That's the point, I've a marathon of work here inside and out but all I want is to go away for a few days to somewhere where the weather knows it's June
Tbh I'm still nervous to go anywhere in Ireland yet. I'm so used to staying home or just going to work, I don't know if I'd book a stay cation just yet.

I was talking earlier about booking an air bnb somewhere with a few things scenic things to see. It would be quiet enough - make breakfast and lunch, then takeaway and a few drinks at night. Anything to see a different set of walls at this stage!

Good weather would be a bonus though.

Mine you can weigh yourself, step off, and weigh yourself again, out by a pound and a half. I don't bother myself with it now and just go on what I do on the exercise bike. Up to 32km today, want to get to 50 because it's a nice round number. Need to buy some weights but they're something you can't really order on Amazon, what with them being heavy and all.

Oh Perse, it's wee bottles of magic. The Britvic juice is still sold but the Britvic55 was the fizzy version of it and was nectar of the Gods. Cant find it anywhere nowadays. It vanished, a bit like Fat Frog ice lollies which were the Britvic-55 version of ice creams imo.
Why do they always take away the good ones? Why God, why???!!
I'm sure yer cousin thanked you for the free shampoo-job!! :pac:

Nothing wrong with a nice relaxing combo of ponstan and beer, ya mad fooker
Should make ya sleep well anyway, you'll be up fresh as a daisy for the 6pm news tomorrow
But yeah was skimming thread earlier and saw ya mention dental issue alright, hope yer on the mend matey. Take care.

Yes, that stuff was nice. I made an ersatz version of it with concentrated orange juice and sparkling water put it was a poor imitation.

Retro seems quiet too lately.
And I saw KathleenGrant post in another thread but not been here in a bit.
People are probably back busy again at work.

I think this place is a bit like a local cafe, sometimes you'll see people who usually come in passing by, like you said, they may be too busy to hang about.

Happy hump day!

A joint would be nice Dave but I'll stick to my boring prescription drugs.


All joking aside I do hope the extraction goes well for you. Problems with wisdom teeth can he really painful.

Tae and toast on the couch. Pain bad today, feckin most of my joints are bad, lot of muscles too. Bugger..

Ultima Thule

Went out to a coffee shop for the first time since the reopening. Couldn't help wondering about the etiquette of people going solo in cafe and pubs these days.

Limited tables of four now being taken up by one person. It's not like the other times when you can always be asked if others could sit if the place was busy.

Would some establishments now only take bookings for minimum numbers only?

Phoenix32

Absolutely wrecked on the couch. Packed my whole life into one suitcase. Don't ask me how I managed this. Time for a sausage butty!
