When you bump into an old collegue from England and they say that they Still keep an eye out for the Hibs results.

I'm like that with pin badges :)Quote:

We're getting a puppy! It's been something we've considered for a long time but felt that the time is right; we've both had bereavements in the last twelve months and lots of stresses that the world has made it difficult to move on from, but as well as being able to offer the attention and love now that a dog needs and deserves, it's moving onto a new chapter in life. We met her for the first time last night and she's adorable. A two week old pointador that we're getting in six to eight weeks time.
Great but remember you'll have to exercise her a lot. I hope you are not in your eighties!Quote:

My lovely new pin badge arrived today. I'll take great pleasure in wearing it everywhere I go alongside my Hibs and music related ones :agree:
Can't stop laughing. Is this for real? How come I've never heard of it. :confused:

Driving in bus lanes at the weekend and watching people who can't read road signs getting all worked up and shouty.
Not just the weekends, I use them during the week and you get the same response from idiots who can’t read.Quote:

The National Trust properties have (partially) re-opened and I went to Greenbank Garden the other day with my wife It doesn't sound much but I haven't been well recently and it was nice to get out.
The place was quite full of families with pre-school age kids and it was a real laugh watching them all running round the rotating garden hose.
There was one, about 18 months old, that kept running away from the water toward where we were sitting, saw my wife and immediately ran back in the direction of the hose. Presumably he decided the water was the least terrifying option :wink:
Then there was a wee girl (about the same age) walking past with her big brother who saw my wife eating an ice-cream and just froze on the spot, staring. No matter what we or her parents said, she just stood staring enviously at the ice-cream.
As I said, it doesn't sound a particularly eventful day but it really cheered us up.

Youtube channel History Matters: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22...fuvUivrjesETjg
Short videos of around 3 or 4 minutes explaining different historical events, I've went down the Youtube rabbit hole a few times with this channel.
I just spent a night in the same hotel as RB Leipzig Ladies Team*
It might not mean much to you young 'uns, but at my age that's quite exciting
:wink:
* Or Women's Team, if you prefer
That explains the "location" on your profile. :greengrinQuote:

On the anniversary of his death listening to Bob Marley.
Overtaking another lorry on the Autobahn at exactly 80kmh. Just to be on the safe side I like to pull into the outside lane about 250m before overtaking then back in 50m after overtaking.
My phone upgrade arrived today and I'm loving trying out the new features and seeing what's improved from my old phone. Always get a bit of a giddy thrill with new gadgets and tech.
Can you still make calls from itQuote:

That gives me immense pleasure. Along with using the hard shoulder on smart motorways and passing all the middle lane and normally speedy types as I do so.🤭Quote:

Buying old bangers of cars. I spend around £500-600 on a car and run it for as long as it goes and I love finding cars with character or a back story.
Just got a Suzuki Wagon R that was previously owned by a member of the Barbarians team of 2009 that beat the All Blacks (not a rugby fan so can’t remember the name). White alloys fitted, and had been behind it in a queue on the way into a music festival two years ago because I thought that it’s a car not deserving of cool alloys at the time 😂
10 months Mot, new exhaust and clutch, Bluetooth stereo and regularly serviced, almost immaculate bodywork, £600.
Terrible car, genuine joy from the story of it.
Nothing much on today so lying on the couch, headphones on, watching old concert footage of my favourite bands. Oh the nostalgia, the wishing I was there again, tears, smiles, every emotion going. Absolutely loving it.
Edit...maybe you have to be my age to fully understand. Not saying youngsters dont enjoy music but us oldies know our times have long gone hence the nostalgia kick. Well for me anyway.
Cracking my knuckles and elbow.
That's one of my pet peeves!Quote:

Posting something sarcastic on social media and a bunch of daft racists liking the comment thinking you are being serious.
The smell when you walk past a decent bacon butty van and you aren’t expecting it.
A well timed cup of tea with complementary Rich Tea biscuits.
Stovies. Partner was training for a stone lifting competition and whilst she did her thing I walked the dog in the drizzling rain. Soaked through and frozen but used some pigeon sausages in the freezer to make stovies and irrelevant of your day, stovies make everything just fine.
Reading the phrase "pigeon sausages" and the mental images it conjures up.
I got them in a bundle from a local farm shop 😂Quote:

My 12 year old has finally caught the golf bug. He took part in a golf camp during the autumn break and is now spending nearly all his free time on the golf course. Not only is it great to have him out in the fresh air away from his gaming console, but it makes it much easier organising family short holidays.
Went for my morning swim today. Seen a heron and two dolphins quite comfy for me to be there. Great morning.
Autumn watch. The best hour or so of the day and the mindfulness minute is the best minute of that hour. When it came on last night, I had my kids and two dogs causing havoc so I paused it and threw them all out of the room so I could watch that minute in total peace and quiet. Brilliant
Aye the Commie Pool’s fair come on since they refurbished it[emoji1787]Quote:

There's a wee group of kids in my street who are out playing all the time and I love seeing them.
Im lucky having a few beaches within 10 mins walk. 10mins a day 5 days a week is what I aim for. Now its getting colder again I'll try & get back to daily. Even managed a full moon skinny dip at the weekend :greengrinQuote:

Cooking with spinach. Add an overflowing mound to a pasta sauce you’re making and beyond all logic it ends up with the perfect amount. Satisfying.
Spinach is my pet peeve for the same reason. Where does it go?!? It's like the vegetable version of the angels share. :greengrinQuote:

The surprised/delighted look on their faces was really funny :greengrin
Scoring a goal - any goal - at fives. Doesn’t matter that the standard is hideous. Watching it slip just inside of the far post will always boost the ego.
I’ll never tire of it.
Lying on the beach , cupping sand in your hand , squeezing it tight and trying to control a slow flow of sand returning to its original state.
I swear i get better at football as i get older.Quote:

Doing keepy uppies amd controlling it with a back heel and continuimg.
I was so one footed when I played back at school but having not played in ten years before a month or two ago, I’ve somehow gained the ability to use both feet. Slid through a Scott Allan-esque through ball on my left foot and it felt even better to be able to use both feet.Quote:

All the Christmas shopping has been completed...
Hibs players scoring headers at the back post while simultaneously knocking a rangers player out (Doidge, McGregor, and O'Connor all spring to mind).
Actually, just any headed goal against them come to think of it. :greengrin
Calling out racist bigots , telling them they're absolute cretins and leaving their company.
Just done this 5 mins ago in Gran Canaria after getting talking to a couple in a bar. I could not believe what i was hearimg. The full score of P..ies , black bas..... Etc.
Told the bigoted
**** what i thought of him and left.
Walking the dogs at 6 in the morning at this time of year when the weather is so good. Peaceful, quiet, solitary. Brilliant.
Christmas in general.Quote:

Christmas is great as long as you are able not to out too much pressure on yourself to have someone else's idea of a perfect Christmas. A Christmas film every Sunday in December, a take away on Christmas Eve, relaxed dinner on Christmas Day and plenty to drink and I'm happy.
Removing masking tape to find that it has left a crisp line and hasn't taken any chunks of paint up with it.
Proper scrambled eggs. Still quite loose, stirred well so no big lumps, plenty butter in there, salt, pepper and on hot buttered toast.
Nothing better in the morning.
Awwww **** sake thats it, I'll have to go and make some now.Quote:

I sometimes put srircha through mine, adds a real kick. Or put butter and then peanut butter on the toast for a pre-training snack.
Listening to the radio.
It's almost like something from a bygone age with access to pretty much any TV you want on demand 24/7 but I love it.
Out of Doors on Radio Scotland is 90 minutes of pure joy. It shouldn't work because it's a show largely about scenery and landscape on the radio but it just does. Other favourites are Craig Charles, Don Lett and Cillian Murphy on Radio 6 and Witness on Radio 4.
I think it's because there is no visual stimulus it requires concentration. It's too easy to get distracted watching the TV, when you are listening to something you really have to be immersed to enjoy it.
Potato waffles. Done in the toaster - whacked up to the highest setting and given three cycles.
On a day like today they're fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside and toasty hot.
Like chips that go in multiple directions. Amazing.
Lovely jubblee, like to great some cheese in as well.Quote:

Having a good game when you’re in goals. Something deeply satisfying about spoiling other people’s fun.
Got my partner a Hotel Chocolat velvetiser for her birthday as she loves a hot chocolate on a cold day.
I’m not a hot chocolate fan but I think that thing could convert me.
After all these years together, I finally bought my wife a decent vacuum cleaner.
The look on the little woman's face when she unwrapped her birthday present was a joy to behold.
:wink:
Get her one of these babies and she'll be putty in your hands.Quote:
