Getting into the 30's feel like massive jump!
There are plenty of trees up around Coolock/Artane.It is definitely the earliest I've seen them up.I love to see it but I'll be waiting till December for my own.
I'm doing professional exams next May and they've given study plans and if you stick to the plan you should get everything covered well in time.(I always say I'll stick to them and never do it properly but I'm really trying this year).One great thing I've noticed is that they properly factored Christmas in!!The last lecture is the 15th and there is no reading to be done till the week of the 4th of January.I won't have any Christmas study guilt now

Have to admit, despite the days flying by, the music channels up & running, adverts everywhere, decorations going up all over the place, presents all bought etc I'm kinda having to force it a bit at the moment. Traditionally it'd be the end of November before I get the 'feels' and it seems this year, despite so many looking to get going early will be the same for me. Normally the christmas FM launch is peak build up time, & i naively thought that with the inclusion of presenters online early this year I'd be able to advance that christmassy feeling, but it appears not. As much as I want to feel Christmassy, it really isn't happening for me so far... I'm wondering if its not being able to get out to the shops or something, but either way its simply is not happening, yet.
As you well know mate, its a feeling and non of us can control those fully. It will happen when it happens and you can't force it.
All this talk of starting Christmas early this year can make it feel like you have to move things earlier then you might normally do and while that works for some for other it mightn't.
When it comes you wouldn't be able to shake it then 0 -

Mind blown watching fairytale of New York just now. Matt Dillon (Somethings about Mary) is the police officer at the start of the music video
“The video for the song was directed by Peter Dougherty and filmed in New York during a bitterly cold week in November 1987. ... Part of the video was filmed inside a real police station on the Lower East Side. Actor Matt Dillon plays a police officer who arrests MacGowan and takes him to the cells“
Yes, Matt Dillon has been around a looong time.
Rumble Fish is from 1983 !0 -

A bit of the good and the bad today. I noticed I'd been sent an email from Santa's Express in Palmerston House. It's now officially cancelled and they're replacing it with a drive-thru experience. We can transfer our booking for this year to next year though.
However, I think we'll skip the drive-thru. It's the same price as the main experience - €85 for the four of us. A bit steep if you ask me. Also of we're still in Level 3, we shouldn't be leaving the county. At least we hadn't told the kids we'd booked the experience so they're not expecting it.
The good news is that the Santa letters were written. Absolutely hilarious the news they put in them

Our usually Santa experience has been cancelled this year
My OH saw this one and we discussed it however like you I felt the price was too steep for what you got.
Has anyone booked any Santa experiences this year? Any recommendations welcome. Am based north county Dub however don’t mind travelling a bit (if allowed).
Also anyone know what the situation is with Arnotts this year re Santa?0 -

To me, it seems a bit expensive as will be over €90 for the 5 of us.
Hoping some other ones will open however as DvB says, not sure how practical or appealing it will be this year 0 -
