Today has been a good day. I got my taxes done and dusted and they were not as bad as I anticipated. Bought myself a new top to celebrate..it will be just the ticket for Malta :)
The good thing is, 'Action Cancer' makes a page for any donations to made directly to them, so if anyone wishes to sponsor my 150 mile walk in March you can have peace of mind the transaction is secure and via PayPal or Visa. This service is worldwide and donations are not restricted to just the UK and Ireland. :)
I have decided to take up the 10,000 steps a day challenge for the month of March to help Action Cancer. If anyone here would like to sponsor me to help raise funds for this charity, then please let me know. It would be much appreciated :) Thank you .

Awesome cause, send me the details and I'll be a sponsor Emmy :)
Oh fabulous! Thank you so much :) I have just set up a go fund me page with Action Cancer and I will send you the details. The funding will go directly to Action Cancer. I have to make improvements to the page though.but I will get that done at the weekend when I get some time off work :)
BEJESUS. What is it about drivers pulling out in front of you and driving slower than you making you screech on the brakes! Grrr, I am going to develop road rage, then they had better be wearing an armoured suit!! Emmy and her Irish temper... not to be taken lightly! BEJESUS to be sure.
Hacksaw Ridge. One word. Commendable
Jackie. One word. Yawns.
Silence. One word. Boring. )3 hours ..good for sleeping )
Some days all I want to do is come here and chill. I read the journals mostly when I am here. I don't bother much with the forum anymore as I did way back in the good old days as i lost interest, as in beating a dead horse.
Now today is one of those chill days..its not strange to find comfort here considering I have been around these parts so long. Familiarity. Family.
Comfort. My Daddy is in hospital intensive nursing..he held my hand tonight and said he was going to die. I never felt so hopeless or helpless. It's a comfort I can come somewhere to help find the calm in my mind.
Well, well, well.. To be sure, to be sure, to be sure my drive home from work today was real interesting and made wish I had one of those portable police strobe lights.
I was driving 33 mph in a 30 mph speed zone! And a black turbo gti driven by a crazee *bleep bleep* started tooting behind me. When he finally got past me at the speed of light, still in a 30mph restricted riad he looked in on the way past, grinned and gave me the fingers!!! Jebus frigging road rage twerp! I should of shook my hammer at him Lololol.

your hammer?? o.O
I have visions now of a lil mini female Thor driving around with a hammer that grants the right to rule Asgard now lol
Haha you make me laugh! The hammer is a safety tool incase the electrics fail :) but ThoRRRR... he is a throb, lol he can rattle his hammer at me any ole day Lololol!
There is a statue located in Berlin, entitled "Politicians Discussing Global Warming." It depicts the politicians standing discussing the issue in a pool of water.
Yes, that is straight to the point. To be sure.
First-ever work week of 2017 completed. Exhales slowly and closes the door quietly. Now for the weekend and its planned to be noisey!
Oooooh!!! A Donald Trump news conference at 4pm. That should be interesting considering it is about the Russians.... so I will have to be sure to be home for the show time! (Sky News airing it)
Unexpected audit tomorrow as I forgot to put it in my diary and I am feeling annoyed about because I could of been staying in Dublin tonight. As it is I have to drive miles and miles down there tomorrow.

I'm watching it right now! LMAO He's rambling on like an idiot ^_^
I just watched it as Well, and thought he handled it very well. He just went up a notch in my estimation of him as he was different in his approach from other world leaders. Change Management is difficult to steer so that will initially be open to critique.
Why is Northern Ireland like Ikea? One dodgy screw and the cabinet falls apart. I wonder what is next in the world of politics as it has all got pretty interesting and in some cases comical lately.

OOOPS big OooPS! weather forecast dictates thermal underwear is needed shortly heh. Don"t even try to imagine it... I fiercely hate the cold!!!! Lololool.
On a different note judging by his tweets DT would fit in rather nicely with the drama squad on Vampire Rave heh.
It appears I have got that; can't sleep, won't sleep factor around me tonight. Usually the wind howling around my windows lulls me straight to sleep, but it ain't working tonight. Guess I am too excited about starting work again later this morning! Lolololol. Darn, this sucks.
COMMENTS
lol I bet you had a fun day!!
Nothing worse than starting the week with a night like that, it takes me 4 cups of coffee before I get my happy face on at the best of times :D
Flat tyre this morning. Ugh, just ugh. That puts all my plans out of sync.
My Father did not recognize me yesterday but he sang me songs. Because of this my night out ended early but even with just 2vodka, I know I will never drink spirits again despite my obvious enjoyment of them last night. I hadn't drank hard liquor since my 20's ..but wine, that is,a different matter!
COMMENTS
Vodka making miracles I'm telling ya 😂
Ahhhhh i am not able to drink because of my job and plus i drive like crazy even when I'm 100% sober lol but time by time i love to have "few vodka's" and that never end up well lol
Vodka is deadly!~ lolololol
Thank you. For the encouragement. I like to strength train as I get older. If you don't use it, you lose it.
Hahahahaha I could get into this Absolute stuff rightly giggles..
Mrs Brown is some comedy sketch to be sure..I was falling over laughing at it last night! Looking forward to having a blast tonight! Its been a while so I am hoping not to be able walk in a straight line home! I shall be very disappointed if I do!!!
Back to work
soon and that means more exams. It never ends...but, but, either will my trips to Europe. Would not mind visiting Bran Castle, the home of Vlad the Impaler! Hubby if your reading this, consider it a very big hint lol
COMMENTS
did you see the ads that were on facebook at halloween where you could spend the night in the castle in coffins and such?
Yes,! That would be so much of adventure! But I also would like to cycle through the Carpathian Mountains to get there :)
I am just wondering how handy a blue tooth enabled toothbrush would be. Imagine having to hold your camera up with one hand and tuning in on teeth with the toothbrush in the other hand hehehehe
COMMENTS
Utterly pointless I imagine... but now I want one!! xD
Lol silly man.. MMM,well maybe a chocolate one!
Finally! I am fit for a night out. :) I opened a nice Bolla Valpolicella tonight. So..I am a wine snob lol I don't care just love my little bit of Italy :)
Love the show, "Homeland Security' ..it's a pity Brody was killed off as I felt he was a bigger part of the show, but maybe he will do a Jon Snow and come back lol. If not we can catch him in " Billions" ( Hurry up)
Wish, " House of Cards" would hurry and start again toi! And well, isn't, "Vikings' exciting right now!
Time to try the sleep thing again... I have been having memories of water skiing in the Red Sea, falling and the boat man shouting at me to not fall again until I finished as there were sharks about!!!! No fear then, but I remember the " after shakes" once I got on dry land again!
COMMENTS
I enjoy Homeland but for some reason Claire Danes annoys me in her role of Carrie.... and she didn't walk through a market wearing a niqab in the first episode of the new season which just felt weird!!... she did ALMOST cry though so it sorta made up for it.
House of cards is awesome, Spacey fits that role perfectly and I shouted at the screen when watching Vikings because Ragnor died.... ~spoilers~ btw if anyone hasn't watched that episode yet... probably should have typed ~spoilers~ at the beginning of this paragraph but meh it's too late now.
I love Homeland and am looking forward to this new season. I liked Brody but I felt his part had played out and it was time for his exit. I've really liked Quinn and I hope they don't spoil his character after the near death.
I seen him being thrown into the snake pit...are we to assume he is dead? After all it was filmed in Ireland and St Patrick came before the Vikings.... so maybe they are imitations !!
The good thing (if I can say that) about being ill, is I got to watch some great movies over the past couple of days. "John Reacher" 'The Brotherhood' & "The Criminal" all class shows, with plenty of action so I highly recommend them!
Happy New Year 2017, and thanks to those with the good wishes for Christmas and New Year :)

All the best to you and yours for 2017!! :)
