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

In work, bored. I think I'll be out of here by lunch time. I don't know how I'm gonna cope when things get back to being busy and I have to finally return to working long hours instead of just going home whenever I feel bored.
It will be a foreign feeling altogether.
Sure recently I was in the canteen with one of the lads and we were chatting away and his phone rang and he answered it and said "Sorry I'm on my tea break, can you ring me back when I'm working". That sort of sh!te
I spent the last half hour here at my desk writing out my shopping list for the supermarket later on. A workaholic or what!

Boring fact... Hippos kill more people every year than any land mammal...and they can easily outrun a human

Absolutely! Anything else would be hippo-critical...

Tableside, just finished lunch. Is anyone else feeling pretty under the weather over the last couple of days?

On The Bright Side, I read that, per year, texting while driving in the US kills more than twice as many people as hippos kill in Africa

Home-side, may go Woodies-side shortly

Very boring reply.....I suspect that the land mammal that kills the most people every year is the human :eek:

Winding down work for the day, taking a walk in the Phoenix Park shortly and then my Zoom art class at 7pm.

And the long June bank holiday weekend to look forward to. Happy days!

Grandeeod

A great day out! Very windy in Tramore but still brilliant to be by the sea again. More time today and great views and walks. It's very quiet down there.



Of course the fish and chips lunch was first class and we had to dine out of the boot of the car due to the wind.:D



I was gonna bring us across the Barrow on the passage east ferry but Mrs/Ms G have done that before so I brought them across the Barrow on Ireland's longest bridge on the New Ross bypass. Spun down for a bite of the picnic at the Dunbrody famine ship. Car park and centre are still there but the Dunbrody was missing.:pac: Bck home via carlow. Mrs G supping wine now and I'm having a beer.

I love days like those Grandeeod. Sounds bliss.

That lookS like a lovely day out G. Tramore brings back some wonderful memories for me :)

Where did my days off go?.

Leg End Reject

Shopside stocking up, I'd love a week at a sunny beach. Le sigh.

Poochie05

Took the day off. Finally dropped a load of boxes at the charity shop and they were delighted, and I was equally delighted as they’ve been cluttering u the spare room since last October.
Then I had a coffee and doughnut takeaway and sat on a bench to watch the town go by, followed by a trip the garden centre. Felt almost normal and a nice reminder of what a day off is supposed to feel like.

smurfjed

Uselessly when I get excited about trips like this, they get changed or cancelled, but I can dream.

Help me out here, which one of these two hotels would you pick?

Sitting in the carpark of Circle K services , outside of Athlone , eating McDonalds . Munchkin had to go to Athlone for an eye check up earlier .

Happy Long Weekend folks

Deskside, working away after my second jab. Or was that Service Pack 2?

Also, just got invited to a lunch, followed by drinks on Tuesday. In a restaurant. In the city. On company money. I may have done a little happy dance when I got the news

Oh, and @smurfjed: If given the option, go for the second one. Looks far classier in my eyes

Gremlinertia

Well it's a draw so far then Smurf, i prefer the more 'local' feel of the fisherman's cove one. Dinners for work done, hospital visit done, feckin circadian rhythm is borked..

Where do you plan to post it? I'd like to see.

Sleepy, a few hours reprieve here from a very angry, confused and depressed pensioner using me as an emotional punch bag as he sleeps in his chair. It seems he has a UTI, so hoping when the antibiotics kick in the confusion and rage eases off. If not, some serious decisions will have to he made.

FFS, I meant Fisherman's Cove as well. I guess that's what happens when you open the second link first :pac:

Looks like that second shot is having some effect after all...

Doesn't sound too different from your usual posting style so

oooh the Seychelles, fantastic. I'm fine with either Smurf, long as my room is poolside and the room service is good Thanks!
Off to look for my bikini and snorkel

Meanwhile, back in the home office I'm getting antsy. Having sudden incontrollable urge to head into town and experience my very first outdoor cocktail/drinking/milling about experience. Subliminal newscasting getting to me :pac::pac::pac: May settle for GnT and Tayto on the patio instead though.

JupiterKid

Took the day off to extend the June bank holiday weekend.:)

Was doing some painting of water colours in past few hours and one of my pieces - Seascape Cloudy Sky No. 2 - I am particularly pleased with. Watercolours can be pretty tricky at times!

Autosport

Smurf you can book me in for 2 weeks in the Seychelles

Happy Bank Holiday peeps

Wha5 a glorious day it has been

I’m currently couchside deciding on what walkies to go on

Grandeeod

Back garden smelling the freshly cut grass and listening to the silence. Those who have departed us have gone on their way. Those of us who have remained can enjoy the peace. Having a beer before hitting the leaba.

Vegging on the living room sofa, default horizontal position. TV on but reading up myself on the history of motorways.

Tuning into DJ Funkybeak shortly to get my fix of his grooves. :cool:

Tonight he’s doing a special set to mark June - aka Pride month.

Wow the place is still in one piece, Alfie and LEJ did a good job :)

Coffee time, it’s 41C outside so not really walking weather.

smurfjed

Gotta admit that I booked the SAVOY and not Fisherman’s cove. Trying to satisfy the tastes of 5 people so the booking recommendation of “Fabulous” beat a “good”. At $650 a night for my room, the place is a steal :)
