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

Watching the news and listening to the reports of Putins actions overnight, it's frightening. Makes me think of our grandparents /great grandparents listening attentively to the Wireless all those years ago at the beginning of WW1,WW2. ...

Thinking of you JK.

It's been a tough day. The news from Ukraine is weighing heavily on my mind, as are worries for a really lovely friend of mine here who seems to have gotten herself caught up in someone else's problems and may pay a big price for it. Barely slept last night with loads of nightmares about her situation becoming part of my life.

At least my application for residency has been completely filed and now I just need to wait for 10 days to get my temporary permit and then the full one will arrive hopefully not long after that.

Work office.......went home at 12 as class was doing a course.......arrived home and started to get a list of jobs off herself so I thought feck that I'm going back into work......sitting here now supping coffee and no whinging.......too old now to be listening to whinging

Onion rings were consumed this evening 👍

Basket of sausages and chips winging it's way to Cork @Sephiroth_dude ..

Fire blazing here and heat on full tilt! Still fecking chilly. Gonna get the hot water bottles ready soon. Sausage and chips, onion rings and chips....all great food with beans and bread and butter! You just can't beat it! I'm on a meal tonight of roast chicken breast (on the bone) with mash, peas, mushrooms and mushroom sauce. The skin off after cooking just to trigger peeps.😀

Having a beer before it and looking at the war and still thinking that after two tears of Covid we are back to yet another example of humanity that would shock the spaceships out of Aliens. They'd be out of their crazy green brains to ever visit us.

Good news :)

Good morning Wherers

@JupiterKid hope you had a nice evening and fingers crossed the scan confirms the cyst. So sorry to hear about the level of pain you have been dealing with @Gremlinertia

Pain and work drama aside we are knocked sideways by the war in Ukraine. All men in my sister in laws family are now engaged in the reserve. Other family members are sheltering towards the west of the country. It’s a wait and see situation but one thing we have been discussing is trying to get them through the border to Poland and on a flight to Ireland. The requirement for visas for them was dropped yesterday. It’s a huge thing but we just can’t standby. When you see the parents saying goodbye to their children my heart breaks…

In other news we had a wedding anniversary this week.. Love is the thing ❤️ Stay safe and well one and all.

Ooh taco chips , there's an idea for tonight, thank you!

Watching the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix while having a few cans.

Trying to distract myself from thinking about the hell a friend is currently going through and I can do nothing to help her.

Oh and there seems to be a feckin war somewhere too.

Sigh.
