On my way to the pitch and putt course, strip the bark off a few trees.

Phoenix, you can PM any of us if you want to vent or whatever. It's difficult setting up in another country under any circumstances.

Anyone else see the video of Eamonn Ryan asleep in the Dail today?
It's laugh out loud viewing.

He has to be woken up to take a vote. His head is thrown back and he's away with the fairies in a coma.

I had a look, he was out for the count. Literally!

I'd say Catherine Martin can smell the victory already.

I think it happens in the House of Commons too, despite all the cheering and roaring they're fond of.

I'd say it's endemic in the Lords', most of those are fossilised.

Sun is shining and Auto is relaxing

Evening all.

Horizontal on the sofa, chilling and heading out shortly to get a few bits and pieces in terms of grocery shopping from the local Tesco. Did an online AA meeting - not one of my regular ones - earlier this evening.

Didn’t have the most productive of days, but that’s ok. We all need days where we just chill.

Anyone watching Snowpiercer?

Out on the balcony doing a bit of writing, and getting ready to dust off the binoculars. The weather might finally allow observation of that bloody comet tonight!

If anyone of you even thinks about starting any rain dances, there will be trouble!

How so Phoenix? Has something happened or is the recent massive change taking its toll, do you think? Sometimes even really positive changes can take time to process and can be overwhelming and destabilising for a while. Whatever it is, take it nice and easy on yourself.

*Hugs, of the squishy booby variety *

I think I'm just feeling a bit taken for granted and it's looking like I'll probably be spending my birthday alone. Ah it's fine, I'm just a diva when it comes to my birthday

Now Phee, this is none of my business, but (that opener is always followed by a but!) after what happened when you moved you shouldn't accept being left on your own if your birthday is important to you. Time to have words and be sure of your own worth.

I would like to say that your birthday is a day to celebrate and I for one absolutely love my birthday so I understand where you are coming from and we are going to throw you one hell of a party here we all love you and you deserve to be treated like a queen

Even if the birthday isn't important I think he should be grabbing on to any opportunity to make up for things.

Phoenix, I'm in full agreement with Legs and Kow (that's a play on the name of a famous 1970s dance troupe, for you young uns). Even if he *can't* spend the actual day with you he should be pulling out all the stops to make the nearest free day all about your birthday. If you are feeling taken for granted now - trust your gut Phoenix. You are in the situation and know the full story. If you were viewing this from the outside being in possession of all of the facts, what would you advise yourself? Is that trip to your ex and pussy cat still on the horizon?

Yes. Stop pretending you don't remember! Pans were before and didnt dance so much as gyrate coquetishly. Legs actually danced (often provocatively). Legs lasted til '82/83 and video killed em off. Lulu was absolutely devine!

I like boring ice cream, a bit of raspberry ripple or neopolitan, none of that fancy Haagen Daz for me, that's for people with notions! :cool:
