I'm feckin tired. Brought Grumpy out in the wheelchair for an hour when I got back from being vaccinated and I'm still drained from it. Time for a coffee to perk me up.

I'm frozen here. I just got a phone call to say my vaccine is postponed . They won't have it until the end of the week and appointments are the week after, I'm more disappointed about not getting off work than the vaccine delay tbh.

Don't be disappointed, Duvet. We'll all be on to you on Friday in the campervan to take your mind off everything.
Set up the campfire and we'll entertain you with our acoustic REM sessions.
MO4, put down the brush and put on the TV for the afternoon.

Oooh I'm shattered. Think it's the vaccine.

Dr Dog suggests you take it as easy as you can for the next couple of days


Day picked up, great drying out

Trigger Happy

G&T in the garden. Tis nice.

Rosé spritzer on the patio here. 'Tis nice indeed Trigger.

I real-life-shopped today, my new plant/flower buying thing is borderline out of control, but I justified it by also buying some really nice plant presents for friends, stuff they've admired so hopefully will like

Dont drink anymore, and if I did still drink, the last thing I'd go for is either G or T. Yeugh. A nice glass of cider, now.....

Delighted for you G.
I have a techie friend who is basically being paid full time retainer to be on standby this year - "wankerville" don't trust their own, so she's on "we know we'll need you at some point so we're paying you to be our emergency call out" Kept her on €€€ for past 10 months :eek:

It's great alright. I'm slowly becoming the go to "someone dropped the ball" merchant. And with my tech desk upgrade I don't even have to travel up to Dublin anymore. Tomorrows work will be done in my lounge wear with a fried egg on toast breakfast and then the smell of a roast chicken dinner in the oven.:D

3 pints of cooors and already in drunksville

Just home from town, its absolutely buzzing, great to see but I'd say later will be a different story. Wine time here, loving the freedom, no cooking, no dropping or collecting, no worrying about them all being out on Saturday, I could get used to this. Watching the F1, completely chilled.

You're spot on, house got too quiet last night. No pleasing me lol.

Online shopping and wine are a bad combination, the ****e I'm buying. ☺️

Exactly Mam, no matter what age they are it's all worry, better off when they're young and once they're in bed you can relax.

Packing my suitcase for five days away down in Kilkenny. My OH is treating me away for this holiday - so so much deserved, I may add - and we’re looking forward to getting away down in the Sunny South East.

Quite a few things in my itinerary when down there. In such good form.

It's shaping up to be a cool summer. It was lovely here earlier, but the evenings and nights are cold.

Feckin jab got me this time! Headache, blocked nose, washed out. Paracetamol and back to bed here.

Sardi, a lot of people I know got their second vaccine in the last week and were wiped out the day after, they were freezing cold headaches and very tired. It's strange how it works, my parents sailed through it but younger people got very sick. Hope you manage to get some rest and keep taking the paracetamol.

Bedside here, it was raining earlier, I should get up and do something but no sign of my mojo, I'll put the kettle on and see how I feel after some coffee.

Sardonicat

DD, give your mojo a day off. Enjoy your peace and quiet.

The electricity is off here, no coffee, it's a devastating start to the day:(

Sardonicat

Not good, bubbly, not good at all.

Just out of shower here. About to face the inferno of rage that is Grumpy.

Leg End Reject

In bed devoid of mojo too, but want a coffee. It would be great to have room service at home.

NewRed2

Up since 6am, nice brekkie made and eaten, hot shower was had, tomato plants fed and back lawn cut and looking at houses online now.
Nice morning out there.
There's a LOT to be said for not waking up hungover on Sundays. I wasted too many of them down the years!

Went for a walk on the wild deserted north mayo beaches, fab.
Back and electricity is on, woo hoo!!
Coffee time

I never want to see another drop of alcohol again as long as I live.

We took a spin in to the village around 4pm on 'scoping mission'. There we saw one of our favourite spots with a little beer garden set up. 5 hours later when we get home we join a BBQ on the green. I made a holy show of meself because two of our neighbours are Gardai/detectives. "I love Ted Hastings"!! "I want to be Chief Superintendent Frosty"!!

Nothing worse than the fear, often sat in the work carpark on a Monday wondering if I should go to the airport and board the first flight to anywhere and never return. 😂 I gave up work nights out a few years ago apart from ones that I left early or just my own immediate work friends, just not worth it.

I remember that ad Olddog, always felt it was about me, the ultimate morning grouch.

Couchside, started a major clothes clear out, have a mountain of them thrown on the landing and then got overwhelmed so left them there, will they actually get put into bags and go for recycling or will the hoarder kick in, anyones guess tbh.☺️

Do you know I've actually never experienced 'the fear' after drink. Its more a case of me feeling like I must have seemed like a right eejit but that's it. That passes quickly. My suffering is very much on the physical side of things. I feel like I've been hit by many buses and its fùcked up my day.

Worked from 8am to 4.30pm at the tech desk. Delighted with the results and the money.:D Mrs G had a lovely roast chicken dinner ready for me. I demolished that and now enjoying a guilt free few beers. I've also noticed that there is a block of my fave bog standard Calvita cheese in the fridge with a pint of strawberry milk. So that's the cheese sandwich post beers supper sorted!
