I don't know where we're going, but it can only be 5K away (Part whatever)

I want to do as little as possible tomorrow so I'll do loads today. Peel spuds. prep veg, make the best part of two dinners, hover, help change beds and then man up with beers later.:pac:

Busy morning walking through the snow and Alfie had a bad nights sleep, some whining and keening (sp) but he seems to be settled now. It’s going to be a long road but so worth it

Couchside with Alfie watching the rugby

Favourite chair, dressing gown, reading a novel I had left before Christmas. Lazy day.

No snow on the ground here... [PHP][/PHP]

Grem, if you're looking in, I hope you're ok, especially your back.

I hope it rolls out in other areas as quick for those at risk . They have all had to cocoon for so long , hopefully the vaccinations will give them all a little peace of mind if nothing else . They all deserve something positive to hold on to at this point .

My friends mother is over 85; and she’ll be heading to DCU next week for her vaccination. My friend lives abroad so hasn’t seen her since October 2019, so this is light at the end of the tunnel for them

Depeche Mode 101 live here from the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988. One last beer and then some homemade grub. Home on a Saturday night can be some kind of brilliant. Mrs G gone to warm up the bed. Woo Hoo! Until tomorrow folks!

Watching Dr Pimple Popper!

Auto, well done on guessing the masked singers. I was waaaaaaay out on my guesses. It was good fun though.

Thank you I enjoyed it and it took me a while to get who the sausage was but I heard a song of hers a few weeks back and it just clicked The American one was much easier to guess The Masked Dancer is also good

Dr Pimple Popper is also a good show

I’m off to bed now so night all

Nespresso time, working like crazy these days, night and day. Is there a pandemic ?

Where is GREM? Any news?

Bedside listening to the wind and rain.
Also wondering where Grem is, hope all is ok.

I think Grem has a bit going on in real life, I think she knows we are all thinking about her
Coffee then work

Morning all Happy Valentines Day to all my loves

Myself and Alfie are heading off into the lashings of rain and wind but needs must

We are both curled up on the couch and Alfie certainly hasn’t heard of social distancing

I always have at least three cats in or on my bed day and night with me. Jacob and Boycat lie alongside me one on each side and it is sheer bliss on a cold night. We had no electricity for a few days this week so all the more welcome

Glad for those who want it, but I have no desire.

I love my cocoon and was here a year before covid arrived and intend to stay here.

Because my immune system is down with the CFS/ME any vaccine is contraindicated by the specialists. I know from long ago experience of a terrible reaction that they are right .

And I am reliably professionally advised that were I to catch covid I would last three days,

I suspect there are others who feel like me? Just is peaceful. I get all I need brought in and left at the gate. And here online.

Yesterday was an exception though as when the power went back on mine tanked again! lasted an hour! The men were still here so got diverted to check. all very smartly masked by ESB. So with the ferryman..taxi man I had three people here..That was fine but back to peace now.

Today was the coldest day by far, even more than yesterday when I was nearly snowed in.
I had to go to my town for shopping and the gusts of wind were ferocious. Tears were streaming from my eyes from it.

I "mislaid" my oldest cat and thought he was out in the cold and went searching. siberia?

No luck; then the ***** appeared from the top of the wardrobe where he is not allowed to go...nested among the bedding

Not doing at all well these days. Think I will vanish with painkillers.. sorry. Total failure here! Stay warm and safe

Lovely about Alfie! Great!

Happy Valentine's Day my lovely wheres. Kisses and squishy boobie hugs to you all, especially Grem, who I'm sending an extra squishy hug to. Choccy cake Ferrero Rochet and giant, orange Toblerone being shared our your way. And a song from an ad that you'll only recognise if you are extremely ancient
Toblerone, out on it's own
Triangular chocolate
That's Toblerone
Made from triangular chocolate
Grown on triangular trees
With triangular honey
From triangular bees
Ooh, Mr. Confectioner please,
Please give me Toblerine

Yes, I've completely lost it now.

Non stop rain here and wind , wild day , one for staying in looking out at it
Happy Sunday/Valentines Day to all those who celebrate it !

Been a while since I listened to an album from beginning to end in the right order
There’s a few rays of sunshine breaking through and my outdoor says it’s 11 degrees!

Flaked on the couch watching the rugby with a Heineken 0.0 in hand. Ran a half marathon in memory of Detective Garda Colm Horkan this morning, I don’t plan on moving off the couch for the rest of the day

A belated Happy Valentines Day to all interested. Personally Mrs G and I don't bother and haven't since our first one together.:eek: For what it's worth we kind of developed a belief that any day can be Valentines day, mothers day or fathers day so we always do random surprises at any time of the year. But Birthdays are strictly adhered to.:D

Anyway this year I had to think about Ms G. In the past we sent her anonymous cards for the craic. But since starting secondary school last year, things have changed as the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing exploded. I didn't want her feeling left out, so I got a card from me to Ms G and Mrs G just to say that they will always be my Valentines. I also got Ms G a lovely cuddly to remind her of how much I love her. Simple but important stuff especially during these difficult times.

Award of the day to Grandeeod for his loving gestures to the lucky ladies in his life. Not just a chef, it seems.

couchside, at my folk's house, with the cat

For the last year or so I have become addicted to some drugs. I'm hoping to go cold turkey on them next week, as they're having an effect on my health and I don't want to be on them anymore. I'm probably gonna feel c*** for a few days, but I have some medications to help with the withdrawals (bath salts, buscopan, etc) arriving next week, so hopefully, they'll help

Hopefully, I can do this

It's none of my business but I would be careful going cold turkey. Bathsalts aren't going to be of much use and buscopan is used for IBS usually. You will have to go to a doctor and talk to them. You could have a seizure or anything trying to do this alone. I wish you all the best and hope you get sorted.

I really think you need help with that.
Does anyone know about this?
Please reach out to someone you trust asap.
I dont know how effective those remedies are going to be and neither do you to be honest.
Can you take a leap of faith and open up to your GP?
This is a big step (fantastic obviously) and not one to be taken unsupervised in my unprofessional opinion.

Is there a limit on how many photos you can use on Postimages?
Do you have to buy a subscription?
