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

Do we all get free donuts?

I'm awake early this morning. Might manage to secure a place on Ted's lap. (If you don't get that you're missing out)

Oohh I know how cold it is outside and how warm it is in here. I'm kinda scared to get up.

Gremlinertia

Weirdly I didn't find it too bad outside earlier, might be that the fog seems like a blanket.

Leg End Reject

Brrrrrrrrrr

I'm sick of this cold now, my feet are like ice. Tableside with coffee.

Good Morning everyone

Deskside with a coffee and a blanket wrapped around my shoulders. 'tis a bit chilly...

@Grem - Apologies for dropping off the radar last night...

You were right Grem, surprisingly not that cold. I mean it was -1 and no fog but it was grand. As you can see from Khalis face, we were happy out on our walk!



This tree was covered in dew drops and they were twinkling in the light and they really looked like fairy lights set to blink. Course I had to cut the quality of the photo down so much to post that you can't see it but I'm sharing anyway.

Deskside. -9 days to time off. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

On the Beach

I've started the two week countdown. Can't wait. Going to try and have everything ready by the 18th so can just enjoy the holiday. Roll on!!

I hear ya! I have 2 spare days I might stick on at the start and bail out on the 16th. I'll take to the gaffer today and see what he says.

Trigger Happy

Same for me too. It will be a hectic couple of weeks up to the 18th for me but the christmas break will be all the more pleasant because of it.

thomil

Deskside, entering the home stretch. Is anyone else absolutely freezing at the moment?

Well yes and no. Yes when I pottered out this morning and no once I got back home to the heat. Delighted I filled the oil tank back in April when prices collapsed.

Tae before trundle, sad old sort of day.

Will the tank last until spring? It looks like it's going to be an expensive winter.

I'm couchside about to get some dinner, I'm hungry and not hungry at the same time!

Awww - how come Grem?

Homeside here. Only one full work-week left this year now. Just flip-loads of admin stuff to do.

I know. I should procrastinate for a while!!

Love the pics Buile. Khalis is a babe!!

Uh - know that feeling. Seem to have a 30 minute window of hunger, and then it's gone, which makes food less fun - unless it's like the food equivalent of a danger ... thing that some lads talk about. :pac:

Have something tasty!!

Bumped into a couple of colleagues during my evening walk, so my daily total distance was 16kms. I love this weather.

I've a 1400 litre tank. I filled it to the top in April and hardly used it until well into October. I also filled ten 20 litre drums at the same time as he couldn't fit it all into the tank. All in the shed. Gonna dip in the morning. Oil is still cheap enough. 400 litres to be had for around 200 quid. I'll never forget winter 2010. Actually cancelled a holiday the oil cost so much.:eek:

Sounds enchanting. I dont think I've ever seen it. Hope you can keep snug tonight, Grem.

The power is back on. Light and heat have returned. Hotspot off. Real broadband on. Little house on the prairie is over.:D

I picked the coldest day of the year to do the dirtiest job but now I have a totally frost free freezer but red raw hands

Autosport

Evening all It’s beginning to get a bit too cold for my liking now. I wouldn’t be surprised if it snows.

A friends mother died over the weekend so it’s being a sombre weekend, I went from celebrating a wedding and then a death. Rollercoaster of emotions.

There was lots of frozen cobwebs this morning, stunningly beautiful and amazing how visible they become. Nature is breathtaking.

Gremlinertia

A still and frosty morning is always a wonder

thomil

Seems like it's a really slow day today...

Gremlinertia

Verrrrrrrrrrry slow.. Did you finish scanning your photos?.

thomil

All scanned, dated, geotagged and edited. Looking back, it's obvious just how crazy that time was...

Gremlinertia

Good to have them, i was very good at avoiding photos which i kind of regret now.

Alejandro68

I have been freezing all day even being near the ovens at work. Home now in my PJ's and robe and still cold. Where is global warming when you need it?

Gremlinertia

Brandy is what you need :P

I'm listening to Now 70s on TV. Bed soon though.

All out of brandy at the moment and the wine just isn't working in warming things up.

Yeah, it's good to have those memories, though seeing all those photos again and realising that those times are almost twenty years gone now was quite a shock to the system, let me tell ya :eek:

Couchside, watching the excellent Famine documentary on RTE.
Wanton, callous cruelty and indifference visited on us as a people, and some of the worst culprits were the better off merchant class of Irish.

Another super busy week, but at least I am coping better than last week when the workload gave me a panic attack.

Have you read Plunkett City? Obviously not about the famine but interesting about Dublin in the early 1900's ...we've come along way.

Yup. Though I think cool water wasn't too bad, it was a lighter fragrance I think.
