I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

Evening all. That's some vicious wind and rain out there.

@thomil are you still thinking of doing the Hurtigruten trip?

@Gremlinertia sliding tea and toast if that helps

Lovely dapper cats in here. Love that picture of Alfie @Autosport. We could do a calendar of all the lovely cats and dogs in here..

Gremlinertia

@Elyvande ooh yes please and thank you

He's usually flaked out during the day. At night he's in and out.

He wants to go out, but when I open the door he can't understand how **** it is outside. He's lucky he doesn't have to hunt for his dinner.

Really this is the wettest it's been for a long time.

Gremlinertia

He can't be out getting those pristine foots dirty 🤣

He cleans a lot worse than his feet.

🤣🤣🤣

But, it's incredible how clean they keep themselves.

He's short hair so no fur balls for him. Also, he's been neutered, so, no balls either. 😃

Maybe that's the trick. He'd be out getting into all sorts of trouble otherwise.

Gremlinertia

So we call him Tm because he has no o's ??

Deskside, now with my private laptop. Christ on a bike, it's gotten cold outside 🥶 But at least that means its coffee & stroopwaffel time again 😋

@Elyvande It's still on my list, but between the fact that I had to burn a lot of PTO because of my medical issues and that my company share price imploded last week, taking out 50% of my savings, I'll have to push that off a while longer. There are some good prices available on the website at the moment though, especially if you don't mind travelling on an older ship, like Vesterålen.

In bed, shattered, there has to be an easier way. 🙄 Also gave in a bought Tesco mince pies, I try not to because I'm the only one here that eats them, 3 gone and that's me using willpower, I'd have eaten the 6 of them. Bad Monday all round. 🙁

Gremlinertia

Yeah there's been better days that's for sure 😣

In my 30s here. Although I only found out about mince pies at 31, during my first Christmas here in Ireland 😉

Mam of 4

Me four 🙈😊

No wonder I don't like them!

Gremlinertia

The most expensive grocery shop of the year took place in out house sometime early october-ish iirc.. Ingredients for four cword cakes, four puddings and four pounds of mince. I'd say my first muscle training experience was trying to mix that stuff.

Gremlinertia

Eight hours then off for a few days.. Hope you all get a good rest wherers

It’s pretty much back to normal, have worked last 2 days without any painful issues. Now time to see what’s offered here for breakfast.

Awake. Picked up a cold on my little weekend jaunt to press my nose up against the Clare shales.

Not surprising given the weather conditions for a lot of the weekend.

Feeling very sorry for myself.

😿

P.S. Mincemeat (for mince pies et al) used to have mince in it. All the spices would help to preserve the meat, then all the other ingredients were there to moderate the taste of the spices.

The clock appears to be going tock tick here..

Never let a clock tell you what you've got time for, it only goes around, goes around, goes around...

Woke to pee and made the mistake of looking at WhatsApp and one of the women staying here had messaged saying she has a mouse in her room. Now I will never sleep again.

Gremlinertia

Ah sh1te, last thing ya need, hopefully varmint will be despatched with fairly rapid.

Good on you.

It's great for their physical and mental health.

Hope they enjoying it.
