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

Happy to report that the missus is still alive :)

Could this be the answer to increasing fuel prices ?

"Coming for a beer?"

"I have work tomorrow ... I'll have one, phuket!"

Foraged my salad lunch from the garden, baby potato, mixed lettuce, spring onion, chives, sorrel, tomato, cucumber, grated courgette and carrot, sugar snap peas. Added some smoked salmon but now I realise I could have hunted for some insects, a la Smurfjed.

Shopping bill will be greatly reduced for the next few months. One forgets the cost of growing your own and it is so fresh.

What’s sorrel? Ive never heard of it, Duvet, gifted will bake you some lovely appetisers 🍔🥩🍳

Sorrel is a herb but you probably know it as narrow leaved dock, a weed growing in pasture. As children we used to pick it in fields and that was the source of my plants many moons ago, but now it’s available in garden centres. Has a slightly bitter taste and a great addition to a salad. A slightly fancier reddish variety is also available.

Grows very quickly so always available.

My type of rainy day, with bar snacks

You haven't lived if you haven't visited Asia. The food is just amazing

Irish H&S would go crazy trying to control these street stalls

Couchside watching Greys Anatomy and absolutely wrecked tired 🥱

He is but if only it was him 😂

Not long home after being put to see some friends off as they move to the big schmoke (Tirana).

Was sitting on my balcony and heard a loud bang. Turns out a hotel about a mile away was bombed. Thankfully little damage and no one injured as its one being constructed and isn't finished yet.

I know this will sound dramatic, but I am really upset about it. I spent most of my life living on the border and worry g about bombs. I thought that was behind me, but this was the second one here this year and its like it has triggered my repressed childhood trauma.

Have a busy day tomorrow but not sure how I will sleep. 😓

Hey, thank you @Purple Mountain

No, its a country at peace, but there is a lot of corruption and some Mafia stuff so things get a bit bonkers sometimes. The guy who owns it was a councilman and is accused of taking bribes and that's how he got the money to build it.

I was too young to remember the Monaghan bombing but I have been caught up in some bomb scares in my hometown and was in Enniskillen visiting family when the big bomb there happened. My family have been so lucky to have been unscathed by it, despite a building being blown up next door to my parents place before I was born etc. But dor me, gunshot or loud unexpected bangs bring me back to the constant fear I lived with as a child.

As a kid I used to get my dad to check under the bed for terrorists, not monsters. Am nearly 50 but I wish he was here to tell me I am safe. Stupid anxiety.
