I would say this to my current job:

I could be a multimillionaire - $110m lotto this week

Ummmm... did I buy a ticket? That’s the first step isn’t it

Remind me in 6 months how much I hated the cold and wanted the summer heat back  

I much prefer the cold over summer heat.  Marty's Irish weather sounds heavenly to me.

Perfectly captured my dance style

You gotta be in it to win it   And if you do win... you're going to share with your beloved WQs, right?

I’m greedy, I want it warm during the day and just a little cooler in the evenings - Spring all year round

You're the bestest Tea Bat and WQ ever    

[Bucket1]

I didn’t say equal shares but you would get something 

My sister and I had quite detailed discussions about what we could do with the money. She has it all planned out. Join the line...

Yea, Val. The west of Ireland, in particular, does enjoy a fairy mild and moderate climate, due mainly to it being on the eastern edge of the Atlantic and under the influence of the warm Gulf Stream that sweeps up from the the Gulf of Mexico before crossing the Atlantic to travel up the west coast of Ireland (among other places).

The one thing I don't like about it, though, is that it tends to result in warm moist air, which means that we do tend to get a lot of wet days, some of which seem to go on and on for days or weeks on end.

Basically the same as my Friday.

I hope yours turned out as much fun as mine has so far.

It would be a long commute to work for you 

And if you wanted to work in Ireland as a non-EU citizen you would need an Employment Permit, which can be difficult to obtain.

Yup!

As the old saying goes: "If you're not in, you can't win".

Tonight's estimated Euromillions jackpot is €108m, and tomorrow night's Irish Lottery jackpot an estimated €6.5m.

I definitely can't win either of them.

Oh the importance of language and the changing nature of it...

In Oz, queer has very negative connotations for the older cohort of LGBTIQA+ folk where as the younger set have embraced it and claimed it as their own. For the younger people it is gender neutral and covers a multitude of sexualities. I can understand why they want to claim it. For the older generations, being beaten or spat at while being called queer makes it a hurtful word. 

So true!   Hi, B.

Good morning, all !  

Another rainy day. 15°C/59°F. Hopefully, like the past few days, the sun will make an appearance in the afternoon/evening.

I'll be heading out soon, and may be gone for much of the afternoon. Lunch with a friend first, followed by a visit to a cross-border heritage event for which a young friend of mine did most of the video work, including editing.

 

Hi, Marty... Have fun.

Hi, Val.   32 at the moment... and rising... supposed to feel like 44 later.

G'day y'all. I stepped out the back door at 4:30 this morning and it felt like walking into a bath. It was 79/26° and incredibly humid. An hour later we were at the park for our walk from there a quick trip into the city to Central Market for a few things. Home again by 7:45. Just relaxing a bit until later this morning and then a trip for groceries and to send a package to mum. We're under heat advisory until late Sunday evening but excessive heat warnings kick in at noon through tomorrow evening. There is a chance that clouds could build in and help keep temps down.

Be careful, bro.

Hi, Gary!

Thanks, and I did have fun.

Back home for a while now. Keeping an eye on the sky. If the sun looks as though it may put in an appearance eventually today, I may head out chasing light with Trusty Nikon.

I dunno...

I think if the weather became too predictably the same every day, I would soon get bored by it.

[Headstall]

G'day, all... be careful out there if you are under the heat advisory...
