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

Stunning Indian Summer day today.

Met up ealier with an old mate, his wife and their two young boys - and now chilling in the park in the sun. 😎☀️☀️

Enjoy the great weather guys! 👍

Absolutely cracking day, even though you wouldn't have guessed in the morning. Took my drone down to the regional park for some long overdue air time!

All these are as-is, straight from the aircraft, by the way. I can't believer I get to call this area my home!

Hello all 😀

Sitting down, half watching TV.

Feeling as high as a kite...struggling with addiction ☹️

thomil · 03-09-2023 10:28pm

Hey Night Owl! Haven't heard from you in a while, good to see you! 😀

Take it easy on yourself! Do you have anyone you're seeing for the addiction?

Deskside over here. Just listlessly scrolling through Google Street View. They've recently added Germany (finally), so I'm checking out my old haunts near Hamburg. Boy, have things changed over there!

It's been ages, so glad to hear from you! Hope you have the support and kindness you need..

Dunno if anyone here walks a dog around the Phoenix park, but there's a big walk near the Wellington memorial thing at 7pm tomorrow evening. An Irish guy that looks after street dogs in Thailand is over launching his book, all profits to the dogs.

he got massive crowds in the UK the last couple of days. Just in case anyone is interested!

He is doing Ann excellent job, I contribute to his cause monthly.

Find myself back in an airport again, should be a law against twice in a day, but at least this time I’m sitting in the first class lounge for a 13 hour flight to JFK, and my first experience with a Tesla :):)

My cocoon for tonight

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 7:15am

Deskside, grr argh

I did the same recently with my old stomping ground in south east London. In a way, I wish I hadn't, the many changes I saw made me kinda sad.

Ah me too, very inspiring how he turned his life around

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 8:49am

I had no idea about him, after a two minute read I'm intrigued, interesting story.

thomil · 04-09-2023 10:27am

Good morning everyone. Deskside in the office here, with not a single cloud in the sky outside.

On an unrelated note, my motivation seems to have fled the country...

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 10:45am

Busy looking out at a cruise ship and a blanket of fog over the Burren

cj maxx · 04-09-2023 11:11am

Watching tv . I think i've OD'd on coffee this morning. Heart is going fast . The same sensation as downing cans of redbùll.

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 11:14am

Ooh I hated that feeling, happened most weekends when I was running two or three jobs 🤣

Desktop browsers and incognito mode ftw! 😁😇

Absolute scorcher here in Cork, but the wind is no joke! Cycling back to the office after lunch was a proper workout! 🥵🥵🌞🌞

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 3:44pm

Not a wisp of a breeze here despite my elevated perch

SuperBowserWorld · 04-09-2023 3:54pm

I just called to say it's Summer

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 4:23pm

Mrs G home later, yay!

Its my home too 😁 that's my backyard, if you squint in the second picture you can see me walking about and waving up at you 😂.

Deskside, bloody hell some day out there 🤪

So you're the guy who's been peeping through my window at night... 👀

Leg End Reject · 04-09-2023 5:45pm

The bloody heat! 🔥

Gremlinertia · 04-09-2023 7:22pm

Nice cool drink required, shame it's milk 🤣

thomil · 04-09-2023 7:39pm

Damn, it's muggy all of a sudden 🥵🥵

Just got home, absolutely raging!

We had a guy outside the office this evening who was clearly not well. Responded when you talked to him, but asked for people to call him an ambulance because he was on medication and had lost it. Diabetic, history of heart trouble as I later found out, lying on the ground on his side. Right ahead of me, a young lady, no older than mid-30s, left the building, came across the guy, knelt down to talk to him, said to him he'd call an an ambulance... and walked off...!!!!

Naturally, I called an ambulance myself and waited with the guy until it showed up, which was like 15-20 minutes after getting off the phone with 999, and the guy did improve somewhat while I was waiting, but that, excuse the language, B!tch in front of me really makes my blood boil. May she suffer a permanent itch in a location she can't reach! Seriously, why would you do that?

Sorry, didn't want to bring the mood down, but I needed to vent! Off to make some dinner now.
