    We are off to my son's girlfriend's house today, she is 30. I'm not feeling old or anything 😀 , he'll be 30 himself next year. Doesn't look like we are getting this Indian summer day today that was forecast earlier in the week either. Always good to spend time with nice people anyway.

    Hope they have the rugby on in the house. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and COME ON IRELAND!

    Cloudy start but I see the sun try to burn through- might get a last glimpse of summer at some stage today - garden tidy day for me - weird being out in a t shirt in October but great nevertheless

    I’m as nervous for todays match as I am the South African game. This doesn’t bode well for my heart 😂

    Still very warm out there even with little sun. So in one way it’s a lovely Irish summers day out there. Haha

    Does Ireland have to win tonight's rugby match to stay in, or are they not at that stage yet?

    No not at that stage tonight. Tonight is about retaining first in the group as it’ll give us and easier matchup for the knockouts. Scotland are notorious party poopers so I’m nervous.

    Busted was great last night in the 3Arena

    Looking forward to the rugby tonight, a win, draw or losing BP means we're through. We our out if we lose by more than 7 points

    Yes, great to get that Scotland game out of the way. I thought the Scots were going to get nasty at one stage, their prop Schoeman should be cited for pushing Sheehan over that hoarding.

    This Ireland team are such a professional outfit under Farrell's guidance. Nerves will be gone again next Saturday!

    Thought the game was a tad anti climactic as we were just too slick and professional to allow any slip ups. This team are a serious outfit, could win the whole thing yet could easily be undone by the all blacks next week. Suspect the nerves will be back for that one!

    What a day! Have put a pair of shorts back on. Just when I'm looking forward to cosy evenings in, a summers day breaks out. Suspect this could be the last sting in the tail for warm weather this year though.

    Saw The LLTS PJs for sale in Penneys earlier. No mention of them being for charity and I haven't seen anything about it online either. I wonder are they doing it differently this year. I think they only had PJs and slippers for sale, there's usually a much bigger range.

    I’m tempted myself by YouTube premium but it’s soooo expensive.

    There's a lovely thread on bargain alerts on how to get YouTube premium very cheap. I'm paying about €3 a month for the family plan

    I got the dogs out for a long walk around Maynooth yesterday ,around Carton and the old college grounds. I was hoping for a bit of autumnal feelings with the gothic buildings and the changing leaves. Instead I was in shorts and a t-shirt and stopped for a cold drink instead of a hot chocolate. Maybe next week!

    I've now only got one birthday present to figure out before Christmas then I'll kick myself into gear. I can't be too organised because we do a family kriskindle on both sides so I still don't know what adult presents I've to buy for. I've 5 nieces and nephews but the last few years I went with vouchers because they're into the awkward tween ages, I might try get tickets to something instead this year.

    We started our Christmas list on the weekend for our little guy, it'll be the last year we'll be able to fully pick for him.

    I was at that concert too! Although, purely because I am a Hanson fan...the only Busted song that I knew was the Year 3000 🙈 Was a great night though!

    I'm just back from my walk, and today is a much nicer day than Saturday. It's not as humid and there is real heat in the sun. According to Met Eireann, it's currently 23° in The Phoenix Park! I saw a few people out walking with just vest tops on, which is very unusual for October. Looks like we'll have to make the most of it today and tomorrow though.

    Forgot about a few songs Busted had

    Hanson were only OK for me esp when they didn't play one of my favourites 'Penny and Me' instead playing a cover of a meh U2 song 'in a little while'

    'Mmbop' was very good

    Overall a good night, next up is Arctic Monkeys next Tuesday (better keep it quiet or the boards police over in the Gigs and Events forum will give out to me for not going to small independent gigs)
