Well just facetimed with my son in San Diego. I thought he was home on Thursday but he is actually home tomorrow. His bed is stripped and I'm in the middle of cleaning out his room, I was planning on putting it back together tomorrow at a leisurely pace... just as well he called he might have been spending a night at the airport!

Are you up yet Jay? C'mon hurry up and get that room sorte, he'll need sleep the minute he gets through the front door.

Morning all! Dark, cold and damp here. Kettles on, just having a peaceful 5mins before the mad rush coffee, tea, anyone?

Morning all. Just got a cuppa thanks Scarlet
Got to pick up my dad from the garage and take him back to pick his car up again today. Also got the dentist to have a filling in a wisdom tooth about 11ish . Always have some pain killers before I go so when the jab has worn off the pain killers are kicking in.
Have a good day everyone

Morning everyone Coming back to Earth today. Yesterday I was pretty much out of it, really knocked back with a stupid cold. But feeling more like normal now. And panicking over all the things I need to do before Christmad LOL.

Hope I haven't missed too much on here!

Good morning all from a wet and murky Dublin. No wind today but plenty of rain forecast.
have a good all.

I will be in a carpark for the minutes silence as I have a site meeting in a quarry at that time. The meeting was arranged weeks ago but the people who have been working it for the last few years came up at 9.30am this morning that we are only allowed on site if we turn up in high vis vests and hard hats. They won't provide them. I asked my builder but he doesn't need his at the mo so has left his at home, so I slipped down the road and asked some friends who've been doing their own house up. They've borrowed them from their son's bedroom.

Sorted!

It's not really the type of attire I keep in my wardrobe although I do have safety boots from years ago when I worked for a papermill.

We invested in high viz vests a few years ago before we set off on a holiday which involved a lot of driving across Europe. They still live in the car .

Holiday was super, drove across the top of France and then into Italy via the Gotthard tunnel. Aren't the Swiss really grumpy and do they really need to charge drivers a whole years licence for a one day trip in their country? Driving in the Tunnel was horrible, so monotonous and tiring.

Disappointing thing was we hoped to see a lot of the countryside but with the motorway type roads all banked up we saw very little.

Spent a few days in Venice, then Rome and home via Monte Carlo and then Dijon with some other overnighters in between. 400 miles a day was about the limit and I couldn't do that now.

Some really memorable moments like seeing a wee guy doing some weird squats and jumps at a comfort stop in France. Was so funny. In Rome A Gladiatotor saying to better half, " hey blondie, you want to have your photograph taken with me", she looked him up and down, smiled sweetly and then said no. Was a hoot. Ah, the memories
