frankie Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Can you believe it's summer/winter here/there already? What's up this month? Quote
Chrissy Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I have a new freezer arriving tomorrow. It will replace the ice cold noisy monolith that currently dominates our hallway. I cannot wait for the old one to go. Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Made plans to meet up with my friend this week. Haven't seen her since the end of September last year, but we've finally managed to sort out an evening we can both make! Planning to go to the cinema, but still trying to figure out what to see.

bobblybear Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Can't believe it's June already. I'm stuck in an incredibly dull routine....work, take dog out, study, sleep.....work, take dog out, study, sleep... <yawn> I'm due to finish my exams in August (if all goes as planned), then I will finally have my life back.

chaliepud Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 You've worked so hard BB and the end is in sight! Will your job change when you qualify? Quote

Woohoo! Good luck with the exams, it'll be great once you graduate . Yesterday we went to Amsterdam and met up with Anna (Begins) !! It was a great day, we had a lot of fun together . Quote
Chrissy Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 That's lovely Gaia. I LOVE hearing about it when forum friends meet up. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Ahh I'm jealous Gaia (and Anna!) Glad ye had fun I'm feeling very lethargic and meh today. Not really sure why. Just want to go home and eat junk food Quote
Anna Begins Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I can't quote on my Fire, but Noll, I go through Dublin, so thought of you Yes, we had a fine time, I posted more in Gaia's thread. Alas, the trip comes to an end, tomorrow is my last day in this amazing city. I am hoping for nice weather for a canal ride for my last day. Quote
Talisman Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I can't believe it's June already - another 3 weeks and it will be midsummer and of course my birthday, the big 50. We are going to Cornwall for 2 weeks the day before (June 20th), so I also have that to look forward to, and boy do I need it. We have the Talent show on Friday as well which many of the clients and a few members of staff (including yours truly) are taking part in. Coran and I have been practising our Mop and Bucket Dance for weeks. It's going to be a really good laugh and great fun, which is just what I need. We have our last rehearsal after work tomorrow, which should be fun. Edited June 2, 2015 by Talisman Quote
Peacefield Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 A light at the end of the tunnel, Bobbly! And not very far away at all, yay! Your trip sounds fun, Anna, and I would love to visit Cornwall, Talisman. We have some family friends there and it just sounds so lovely. I've been home from CA for 2 weeks already and I still miss it. There needs to be a way to slow down time whilst on vacation, that's all there is to it. I was also up at the cabin this past weekend for the first time since September and we had a busy time of mowing the lawn and cleaning out the flower beds. The dock was also put in the water and next weekend the boat arrives! Now if only summer would last for the rest of the year... *sigh* Quote
Athena Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That's lovely Gaia. I LOVE hearing about it when forum friends meet up. Thanks, we had a lot of fun . It's a shame you don't live closer, Anna! Ahh I'm jealous Gaia (and Anna!) Glad ye had fun I'm feeling very lethargic and meh today. Not really sure why. Just want to go home and eat junk food Thanks ! Awww I hope you feel better soon . I can't quote on my Fire, but Noll, I go through Dublin, so thought of you Yes, we had a fine time, I posted more in Gaia's thread. Alas, the trip comes to an end, tomorrow is my last day in this amazing city. I am hoping for nice weather for a canal ride for my last day. I hope you will have that nice weather! Here it's cloudy but the temperature is nice. I'm not sure what the weather is like up north though.

The dock was also put in the water and next weekend the boat arrives! Now if only summer would last for the rest of the year... *sigh* I'm glad you're enjoying your summer . I'm resting a bit from going out to Amsterdam. I've read for a while, and I've been busy working on my reviews and my book statistics files. It took longer than normally, because I was using my laptop instead of my computer (my boyfriend needed my computer, he had to do some work that his computer was too slow for). My laptop is a lot slower than my computer, and I type slower on it too so it took a bit of time to do all these things. I didn't mind though . Quote
Tiger Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Aw, not long to go Bobblybear! Good luck with everything! Nollaig, hope you're feeling better soon. Just in the middle of unpacking the huge pile of boxes and suitcases that's taken over my room! Finally came home from Plymouth on Sunday evening having spent the weekend in the South Devon countryside with my family at a family friend's house. It was lovely- we went to Paignton Zoo and went on a walk around the countryside and saw lots of reptiles (got loads of photos on my thread). On Monday, I also found out I finished the first year with 79%, a strong first class, which is 10% of the overall degree, so I'm chuffed (especially since I walked out of two of the three exams close to tears because they were so horrible, so I wasn't expecting it!) Hope everyone is well! Quote
Athena Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Congratulations on the great results !! I'm doing well at the moment, I just had a great walk with the dogs (and with my dad) ! It was nice talking with my dad, as I don't get to talk with him that much during the week because of his work (he has a lot of evening appointments as well as of course during the morning and afternoon). Quote
Peacefield Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Sounds lovely, Athena, wish I could do the same with my dad Had a great Zumba class last night - so great that I'm glad I have tonight off to recover! Ha! I'll be back at it tomorrow night, though, and Saturday I'll be planting flowers. My friends and I are also getting together to have dinner and watch the Belmont Stakes. Sunday i'll continue the yard work and I'm also going to my last belly dancing class since it's not held during the summer. I'll miss it Quote
Talisman Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Good luck with the Talent show ! This time tomorrow it all be underway. There are 24 different acts - we are 1 of 3 members of staff (Coran of course though doesn't work there, just me) who are taking part, with the rest clients. Most of them are singing or dancing, but one (our Finance Manager who is a very staid looking man) is doing a magic show, and one of the clients is doing stand up comedy. The 3rd member of staff (our Marketing Manager) has teamed up with a group of clients to sing from High School Musical. We are act no. 17 so will be on during the 2nd half. 86 tickets have been sold, so it's going to be packed solid. I hope I'm not too nervous - I might need the free drink that you get on arrival !

Nollaig Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Sitting at work waiting til hometime to get the bus to Kerry to see my dog who is being put to sleep this weekend. Might even be done tonight, within an hour of me getting there. Very difficult to sit here knowing that I might be missing her last few hours right now. Quote
Peacefield Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I'm so sorry, Noll That is one of the hardest things to go through and I really feel for you all and your dog. Many comforting vibes are on the way as we speak. Quote
Tiger Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I'm very sorry to hear that, Noll Thoughts are with you, take care xxx Quote
chaliepud Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Sorry to hear your sad news Noll, pets are such a huge part of our lives and I understand how devastating it is to lose them. Quote
bobblybear Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 You've worked so hard BB and the end is in sight! Will your job change when you qualify? I don't think it will really change, but that's ok by me. I don't want to advance my career, but I do need the bit of paper if I change jobs (even staying at the same level). Woohoo! Good luck with the exams, it'll be great once you graduate . Thanks. I'll be so relieved when it's over. I won't know what to do with my spare time. A light at the end of the tunnel, Bobbly! And not very far away at all, yay! I know.....fingers crossed that I pass everything. Aw, not long to go Bobblybear! Good luck with everything! Just in the middle of unpacking the huge pile of boxes and suitcases that's taken over my room!

I hope you get to spend some quality time with her before she goes. Quote
muggle not Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Sounds lovely, Athena, wish I could do the same with my dad Had a great Zumba class last night - so great that I'm glad I have tonight off to recover!

Sunday i'll continue the yard work and I'm also going to my last belly dancing class since it's not held during the summer. I'll miss it The Belmont should be an exciting race. It is so difficult to win the Triple Crown. I hope American Pharaoh is able to do it. Quote
Chrissy Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Sorry to read the news about your dog, Nollaig. Quote
