Saturday nights I think it was. Mammy and me in the sitting room. She would be in the armchair pulled in to the fire and I'd be on the sofa pulled in near her. Good memories.

Nice memories mate, that's the stuff you cherish.
I remember Highway to heaven myself too, like you said it brings back memories.
It was often on when visiting my Granny, as soon as I hear mention of it now I'm transported back in time to my Granny's house, it's weird how certain songs/shows/etc can send you back in time.
Catchphase used to be on a lot on Sundays too and again sends me back to my Granny's house and I have vivid memories of my parents and my Uncles/Aunts all sitting round with hangovers reluctantly shouting at the telly Sunday afternoon. Say what you see!
As a kid the huge one for me was the music from BBC Grandstand, it was on Saturday mornings and the theme tune was brilliant, as soon as I'd hear that music I was flying down the stairs and that made the weekend for me.
Then the other side of the coin was Glenroe.
God you'd hear that dreary monotonous Glenroe music of a Sunday evening and it would send a shiver down yer spine. It signalled weekend over, school tomorrow and whatever Biddey and Miley were about to get up to was largely irrelevant and paled into insignificance compared to thoughts of Monday at school and homework you hadn't done.
The weird thing about all thee memories is that most of us would swap adulthood in a heart beat to be back there again for a day, I know I would anyway.

I thought I was the only one who associated the Glenroe theme with the dread of no homework done! It seems everyone was as bold as I was.

That and the antiques roadshow theme.

I remember saying it to himself (who is a nerd) and the look of pure horror on his face .... Eh sorry, I'd better things to be doing.... Grand though as he now doesn't trust me with anything educational for the kids so he deals with the school stuff

Nelly Olsen was on the six o clock show during the week, well worth a watch.

I just walked to the shop and for the 30 mins I was out there was only about 10 cars passed by ,there was one car in the carpark and the shop was empty apart from myself, the shop assistant and the other customer, so unusual for any night but particularly a Saturday night. Normally its non stop traffic and you wouldn't get a parking space and the shop would be packed mainly people buying drink. It's like a full lockdown, even now there's hardly a car passing, it kind of freaked me out, it's very eerie.
Couchside, waiting for the troops to come back from a match, heating on,having a glass and watching Succession..boring tbh.

Relaxing at home after doing the Chair of an online AA meeting.

That was my 5th time chairing an AA meeting - I have come such a long long way in the past three years. Happy, healthy and sober.

Yippee work time again and today will be an insane day, swab test at 0900, following by 5 trips or over 10 hours sitting in my seat, and that’s exactly 12hour and 10 minutes after I got out of it yesterday.

At least the sun is shining and I get to go to a new airport

Not bad, happy travels Smurf, how is mutt doing now?

Lying in bed listening to the wind.

Was it something you ate Ted?

Kitchen scrubbed, washing dried and folded and another load on and another load waiting to go on, I'm absolutely fuming at the state the kitchen was in this morning, they tried to order pizza last night but it closed at 10pm so opted to cook at home. The dishwasher was finished but they won't empty it so left everything unwashed and not even rinsed on the worktop and in the sink, never put the trays back in the oven, pint glasses everywhere that had milk in them and not even rinced, clothes, knee pads, football boots etc. scattered around the place. I'm f*ing lived....all still snoring upstairs without a care in the world..that will change shortly, block yer ears.

I'm cosy still under the duvet, can't force myself up at all, cold out there .

Heating on for a while before I light the fire , raining away here , think it's a day for pottering about the house .

We've had named storms that weren't as windy as today, I'm contemplating a walk but should have gone earlier, it's very gusty out there now.
Just couchside, all is still quiet here, seems like a day for the telly and treats...what's new lol.

Ted_YNWA

This Storm Alex I thought, coming via france.

Coffee & mischief time I think.

Sardonicat

Definitely not walk today for Grumy - far too windy. Sunday lunch on its way and a day of pottering, Netflix and snuggles with himself later ahead.

Put down a rough day yesterday with the UTI which I thought I had a handle on myself. Must have emptied a reservoir trying to keep my system flushed and a bad night up and down to the bathroom. It was worth it though. Much more comfortable today and can manage til I call the GP tomorrow.

Poochie05

I'm taking advantage of the wild and stormy day to progress some decluttering. Finally ready to part with my tapes, but putting my CDs in to storage under the stairs... one step at a time! :pac:
Definitely a day to be indoors, went out to the wheelie bin a couple of times, that breeze would go right through you :eek:

Mam of 4

Glitches and errors , aren't we lucky :pac:

Watching Top Gun here , class soundtrack!

I was in Tesco earlier, the lady in front of me at the checkout was buying 3 bottles of wine, 2 large bottles of lucozade, a box of condoms and 12 mini chocolate chip cookies.
Someone is in for a wild Sunday.

Gremlinertia

That'll be a wild ride indeed!.

Let me be the first to admit it, I'm jealous of that woman. ☺️

I'm in Costa, not a glass of wine or any rubber item in site.

Grandeeod

Heating on full tilt. Candles lighting downstairs. Music playing in the background and Mrs G pouring me a pint as I start the dinner.

Getting darker, the chooks have to be fed earlier because they won't come out when it's dull and miserable. I might go into hibernation.

Gremlinertia

Soon for the work trundle, fairly grim here too.

ha, yeah you might need a litre of vodka the way its going!

I'm not being smart per se, I've been there many a time down through the years with Liverpool. United look a bit of a shambles though, red card didn't help.

I'm in the sunroom, sipping a quiet beer. Went out for garlic mushrooms and seafood chowder earlier with a pint.
It's naughty having a drink on Sundays, but sure screw it, I'll be dead long enough

Sardonicat

Mr. Sardi's ETA is 80mins and I've just discovered a nasty spot snuggling cosily and beaming brightly between the bottom of my nostril and my face! Still have some chores to do before I can tackle the problem and may well be spending the evening wearing a paper bag.

Since we moved here , the dog has slowly claimed ownership of the little couch in the kitchen. Which is fine tbh , she's old and lazy . However, this morning I couldn't figure out where she was , not on the couch , nor under it , not in her basket either .
The cheeky beggar had jumped from the couch onto my chair and was snoozing comfortably :eek:
Well , tough , not happening, I'll be barricading my seat tonight :pac:
