    Hello there!   :D 

    Back from a lovely holiday in Ireland.  You've been so chatty that I've only caught up with today's pages so far... 

    Would it be racist to find this Irish notice funny?



    Somehow the 61 cents just makes it...


    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Evening. 
    After spending a large amount of time in the bedroom this week (and not in a good way), I think this Bank Hol weekend is going to be decorating time. I love picking paint colours... it’s the hilarious names for them that amuse me - there is “Mole’s breath” , “Arsenic” and “down pipe” in one collection?!?! 

    Have a great weekend all,  whatever you up too. 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Mole’s breath? The mind boggles  :o 

    Great sign, Liri. I needed a small chuckle this evening - thank you

    It certainly feels autumnal
    here Obelixx, warm and damp with cobwebs and blackberries and the swifts have disappeared ... although there’s no autumn colour on the trees yet thank goodness. 
    Ive been sent to bed as I was asleep on the sofa :tired_face:
    Now I’m listening to news from Venezuela ... on the cookery forum we have a British friend who’s been living and running a catering business in Caracas for many years and he’s been telling us of the increasing difficulties and frustrations of recent years ... hope he and his wife and her family are ok.

    My bodyclock seems to have reverted to pre-retirement mode and I’m waking early ...
