It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

Enjoy the break CL, weather looks dull & dreary but hey I'll not be in work for 3 days so that'll do for me right now.

The magic eraser works magic for our dog wall marks! One of my dogs is quite oily and she leaves weird brown marks on the wall. We've to paint our hall in the coming months so we'll be looking for the most hardwearing washable paint we can get.

They're a pair of hairy eejits but I wouldn't be without them.

Hope people have a nice bank holiday weekend and that no one's off camping or on any other outdoor pursuits.

@tscul32 that is such a funny picture! The way he couldn't look you in the eye has me in stitches!

Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend!

T'was 17 degrees on Saturday in Letterkenny and Derry, although the thundery downpours dragged it down a bit

Was out for a beautiful coastal walk this morning, was great to need sunglasses🌞🌞🌞

Thought it was still 7 days from when you firet tested positive, but that could be 7 days from first symptoms appearing... with work we're saying 7 days from test though.

Beautiful sunny day here in the south east, my little Alfie is still sick and has been at the vets all weekend and by god do I miss him, house is too quiet without him.

Happy May Day!!

I went for a swim too yesterday! More of a dip really, but was quite proud of myself as I'm not a sea swimmer, but enjoyed it enough to do it again! Also broke out the shorts yesterday evening for football training so it's been a lovely first 24 hours of Summer. Although I have a whopper of a headache today which is weather-induced I think 😔

Sorry to hear about Alfie, hope you get good news today 🤞. We have our own little man ruling the house here too, don't know what we'd do in particular my wife would do if anything were to happen to him. Keep us posted, good luck.

Another beautiful morning, long may it last! The kids were out until 8pm last night & back out this morning before school having a kick about. As much as I love Christmas, I do love this time of year too!

Pretty much my default setting. Having so many drives out west with work isn't helping either. I'm spending half my time in westport and Sligo and it's quite draining doing 1k kms a week

Would you be able to take a week's annual leave anytime soon? I've never taken holidays this early in the year before but have to say it's been a real tonic to be off the last while. Was saying to the wife that if we can afford it we will try and get two small holidays in the sun a year from now on.

Just be careful with the three day week if you do go that route and make sure you are not doing five days work - this was offered to me last year but I knew that the other 2 days work would be left for me to pick up on the days I was in and no way was I doing five days work for 3 days pay.

Very quiet on here over the weekend. Dare I say it, but is this time of the year the most un-Christmassy time in the calendar?
