Simple Pleasures

[astfgyl]

Drew home the last of the turf today myself, fuck me the heat in the bog was mind bending, soaked in sweat and all the dust sticking to me. Luckily though we have our own well here, Ice cold fresh spring water on tap, coming from 100 foot down in the ground. Its like sweet sweet nectar. A day like today reminds me how lucky I am to have it, that treated mains water is fucking rank.

Was living in the countryside for a time and the well water was fucking wonderful compared to the town shite. When I moved back into town I couldn't drink it anymore, having given all my life thinking it was grand. So I got one of those RO filters under the sink and it still isn't like the proper stuff. Ah well

Give me this sort of weather over winter any day.
You can have too much of a good thing though, and spending four hours in a field in Ashbourne with no breeze, and no shade isn't that much fun.

I don't think you've quite grasped the concept of this stay at home holiday lark bud 

He might have been at the hay or the turf (if there are bogs around Ashbourne?)

Nah, was playing baseball.

And fuck stay at home holidays, roll on September and NYC.

Got out for a little sharp shock of a hill run today. My knees have been fucked for the past year or more but I made it around and neither legs nor lungs completely exploded. I might be limping about tomorrow but this evening I can bask on the pleasant, self-satisfied glow of minor achievement

The runners high would give half a Mitsubishi Turbo a run for its money.

When I did the half marathon I was essentially immobile for a couple of days but the self satisfaction of having run for just under two hours solid without stopping boosts the auld self esteem and well being immensely.

Extreme glee all round seeing (seeing the headline, not the match of course) the US women's soccer team getting spanked by the Swedes.

[Kurt Cocaine]

Spanked you say?

Was that cock swerving media whore Rapinoe playing?

[Eoin McLove]

I haven't had a G&T since the infamous Łodz incident. Having one now and it's very satisfying indeed 

[Carnage]

Hendrick's, slice of lemon, frozen slice of lime, tonic. Unreal.

[Eoin McLove]

Ah, it's a grand ol tipple indeed.

[Emphyrio]

A coupla years ago went for dinner and a coupla pints. Had 2 g+t after and nearly lost the use of my legs. Mad drink.

[Eoin McLove]

It'll do the job, no doubt about it. I still bear the scar!

I haven't had a G&T since the infamous Łodz incident. Having one now and it's very satisfying indeed 

Along with your bubble bath and sex & the city box set?

[Ollkiller]

Hendrick's, slice of lemon, frozen slice of lime, tonic. Unreal.

Nice. I'd go with that but 2/3 tonic and 1/3 bitter lemon. Delicious.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

A great drink to try random stuff with. We have a local peach and summer fruits gin here that we've mixed up a couple of times with tonic, one leaf of fresh mint, one frozen strawberry, and one small, fresh chili. Killer.

Is this Metal Warfare or Petal Warfare?
