    I was reclining on my chaise longue. One bronzed leg resting on the other when my "gobhìte radar" stirred in to action. Then I take a look and discover that it's just Shaka. Nothing to see here.


    :p

    Deskside, home office, tipping away. Roadworks going on over the wall of the park.

    Summer has now begun - and I dearly hope the coming weekend will reflect that after what has, so far, been a very lacklustre May in terms of weather.

    Happy Tuesday all! :)

    Summer has begun and the thunder rolls ...

    Alternating between lovely warm sunshine and torrential rain with thunder here, currently the latter.

    About to finish up a few bits for work and then break out the hoover and mop. Living the dream as always

    Did the Hoover and mop yesterday. Having a supremely lazy day today. I seem to be earning my Carer's Allowance on night shift lately and all the broken sleeps have caught up with me today.

    Feckin HSE ransomware attack has resulted in Grumpy's outpatient appointment with the surgeon looking after his hernia has been cancelled. Will the thing ever be repaired!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 486 ✭✭Shaka Hislop


    I'd say you're looking at up to 2 weeks of a delay...not a good time... Kerry patients yesterday & today couldn't travel to CUH for radium treatment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Oh sorry to hear that Sardi. I hope Grumpy's op get rescheduled soon.

    Try to have a nap, broken sleep or a killer once it catches up with you.

    It's an absolute scandal. Serious questions need to be asked and some serious accountability held for the IT systems, the back up protocol and security in the HSE. Is it true they are still running Windows 7 and XP? This is going to cost lives, I fear. I hope your work wifey is ok, Shaka.

    She's all finished her treatment, she's grand...we fell out big time 2 days ago...so mightn't be talking to her for quite a while :)

    Is it sad to be excited because I got my appointment for my vaccination?
    Crazy times we're in for sure :)


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Not sad at all Mam. A few different friends of mine who got it have all said they didn't realise they were subconsciously waiting for it or at all worried until a sense of relief hit them afterwards. Which I thought was an interesting way of putting it. Hope you get called soon.

    Couchside about to head to an appointment to get my eyebrows and nails done. I'm pretty excited about that :p

    It gives a great sense of freedon, with a little hint of caution.

    Take it easy afterwards for a while.

    Oh that he does :D I can really only take his photo when he sleeps as he doesn’t like his photo being taken :) Most of his photos are when he’s walking or lifting the leg ;):D

    I'm fighting a battle between the oil tank and the weather. The 1500 litres is rapidly approaching 15 litres, but the weather is still insisting on at least 150 litres. Once again I can see the heating being required into June and then a battle to fill the tank before the end of September. We truly are working for the man and our reward is existence.:D As for the weather.....there is very very little to be happy about unless Penny's being open, floats your boat.:D

    This not so positive report was brought to you by Channel G news.:D

    It's annoying isn't it?
    The evenings definitely are cool and heat is needed . I try get 1-2 drums a week , keep it topped up , not as much to hand out in one go that way ! In saying that , will get a delivery of firewood in two weeks or so , my stockpile is practically empty :)

    I bought the oil cheap last year and filled up. Then I failed to use my drums to top up like I'd normally do. Gonna be a summer of drums and maybe a small fill to keep the show on the road Mam. Its always something. :D I just moan about it for a few mins and laugh my arse off. I'm laughing all day with the things that go wrong. Feck it!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,309 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    Here's a funny story for you cold creatures like myself.
    I was in a house share once and we rented a room on a short let to an Australian girl.
    I sent around a group chat one day to say we needed to buy oil so everyone needs to cough up X euro.
    The crater had no idea and asked if I was talking about olive oil..
    She never had to incur an oil heating bill before.
    We'd have so much more money if we lived in a warm country. There should be a subsidiary grant for heating in northern countries :D

    Great story PM. Sure what would a newly arrived Aussie know about nearly all year heating in Ireland? Fook all!:D We heat our homes constantly for at least 9 months of the year. We had Brazilian neighbours many moons ago and my heart went out to them in Winter. I had to bleed their oil burner and then introduce them to drums of kero and the art of dipping the tank. They survived the crazy snow in 2010. Gave me 4 cases of Coors Light for the favour.:D

    Ah it's mad what we get upset/uptight with these days Mam. The last 12 months don't come close to what I've experienced in the last 6 years.:eek: I was rared on getting on with things and I'm not even that old to be considered an oul crusty either!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Do you get a choice in what vaccine you get? I'm sure I read you could and the Pfizer one seems to be the preferred option for many.

    Off to check when I can register!
