Did you not see the interview, Mon?
I noticed a lot of blinking on Harry's part. I've decoded it as "help me, help me please".

Leggings, step away from CA for a few days for your own sanity.
You're getting very frazzled over there.
Tell us about your day here instead.

I'm not frazzled, I enjoy a good debate. Little else to keep the brain sharp these days.

My cat has the most amazingly silky coat. I'm so jealous because it's so shiny and soft.
I wonder if I got her to lick all my hair, like she washes herself, would I get the same effects?

Twitter can be a toxic nasty place...have seen somebody I know been cancelled over the last few days due to historic tweets and it's quite nasty and vitriolic the "pile-on" I've witnessed
As much as boards can be a bit eyerolling at times....at least we don't have to put up with abuse that could quite frankly, push someone over the weekend edge.
Sorry... just me venting here, happy weekend everyone

Breakfast was kefir yoghurt with avocado. Before that gave myself a HAJJ haircut. Just as well that I’m not allowed interact with other humans for the next week.

Was in dubai last week when the vaccinators came to our hotel so missed the opportunity to get a shot. So I applied online and got approval within 3 days, now just have to work out how to get it considering that I’m in company quarantine.

Wife now just told me that she got approved :)

They have ramped up to over 100,000 doses a day here, with further increases expected as long as the supplies last.

Just got an email about vaccinations out here. But I am not taking it on medical advice elsewhere. The CFS/ME has autoimmune problems for me and any vaccine would have an appallingly dangerous effect.

So I cancelled the arrangement happily. I am in isolation anyways, as a simple cold would be devastating. One vaccine going spare!

Realised I have been infection- free since I came to the island! Five years! Wonderful!

I respect that Graces and being English growing up with the monarchy it must be so ingrained in you to honour and admire them. However, i feel it's like the Catholic church here who many grew up respecting until certain well documented truths were exposed. Every family has secrets and i agree this was done in extremely poor taste but im glad in a way the spotlight is back on them, i just wish it was pointing at Andrew!

On topic..in bed yet again. My days are a blur of eating and sleeping at random times. I get sudden bursts of energy and think oh ill go for a big long walk then fall asleep putting my shoes on. Being pregnant is like an unrelenting hangover from the body aches and nausea to the appetite for fried cheese and moodswings!
All worth it though i guess!

Sardonicat

Pork, it's no small thing, growing a human. I hope you're being well cared for by your Dr.

Well, I've taken out the recycling, rinsed off the lunch wear and put it in my new dishwasher (have I mentioned I have a new dishwasher?), took the dried laundry out of the drier and took the wet laundry out of the washer and into the drier. All of that is very productive, isn't it? Coffee just poured, I'm about to take it and the fresh laundry upstairs to be sipped while i fold and put away. I also have a tangled mess around my head that i have to tackle with a hairbrush (think Curehead after a hurricane) . I may be watching Netflix while I see to these tasks.

But we were raised not to seek scandal anywhere! As you say we all have secrets.

That is a terrible comparison! Shocking to say that! The church abused thousands of children .. this is totally different. One person claiming abuse? Implausibly and deliberately scandalmongering. About private family matters?

We always all knew what was happening; they were in a way our family too. But there was always discretion. But we would never have done what was done here. Utterly inexcusable and appallingly vicious and self pitying and with what motive? Just spite? it was nothing to do with anyone else

It will rebound of course. She has victimised her inlaws. Just plain nasty and vindictive and self pitying,

Closing on this please.

It wasn't a direct comparison. I just meant they're both powerful institutions that weren't challenged for a long time and got away with murder (not literally!). I don't think there should be discretion around claims of abuse but Andrew was certainly protected and I think that's wrong. This is the wrong thread for this anyway.
Didn't mean to offend you at all.

Evening all Went on a few walks in between showers and of course got caught in a few too. Hope everyone is having a great day

Here’s a pic of the boss chilling

Home office side, just wrapped up for the week. Something a friend said to me a few days ago (about covid hardship) really made me feel extra grateful to still have the gig. It can be tough online for hours at a time, but like he said, that's not really where tough even starts for hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland these days...

Realised I may now be officially a couple lost cause auld wan - I've caught myself perusing the gardening forum. It's hopeless :pac::pac::pac:
Anyway, have a nice weekend everyone.

Took a much-needed half day in work today.

Was out for a walk in the Phoenix Park earlier and now painting a few art pieces of cherry blossoms which I will dedicate to the memory of my OH’s late mother.

A hawk landed in the garden earlier, with a pigeon in his claws. I ran out, So I think I saved the pigeons life
And he is a nice wood pigeon, there's a few of them around here, always in the garden.
I saw a hawk few weeks ago in the park, I wonder if there's just one......

Feck all to report lads. Drinking a few beers. House is sparkling.:D Have a curry on the way later. Gonna watch Finding Jack Charlton for the second time. Oh to be either listening to a "team" leader talking **** about our day or be in the Hotel bar having some grub and then a few pints. Alternatively a few early pints with Mrs G in our local and the oul Chinese takeaway after.:D

Would you even fly in a sandstorm, outside of an emergency? Can't imagine that it would be too good for the engines.

Tableside, just finished with dinner. Work done for the week, so here's to the weekend

Alfie looks like he should be saying 'What you talkin' about Willis?!'

I’m just home from my holidays, going out to have some pints and a meal to say hi to all my friends tomorrow.

Can't be worse than the bit of turbulence I hit while flying home from what turned out to be my dad's last birthday. I've never been able to look out an airplane window and see straight ahead in our direction of travel in a passenger airplane before, much less in mid-flight, and I hope I never have to do so again. Our little 70-seater got pummeled that night, the cabin crew was white as a sheet even after landing :eek:
