Include me in the walk, Leith Links or tide out Portobello beach perhaps.@aggie you ever fancy a chat or a socially distanced walk round the park let me know mate, always available for a catch up pal
Whenever Hibs fuck me right off I think back to the 2001 cup final. Walking along Aikenhead road and the Celtic supporters were on the parallel road. They looked like they couldn't give a hoot at picking up another trophy. I wouldn't swap that with being a Hibby for all the tea in China. We might have a lot of lows but by fuck the highs are worth it.I am mighty pissed off at Hibs, hate the current lockdown, dinnae see any end of the life we now live, but weirdly feel ok tonight. I refuse to let Hibs spoil my life, as they are in it for the the good times they irregulary bring me.
This time of year in the best of years feels like a slog to some. These times are certainly gonna magnify that massively. I’ve just broken it down into each day at a time, no point looking at two, three days or a week ahead. Just tackling the day as it hits.Leaving aside the disappointment of tonight, how's everybody feeling? I feel like this is the darkest time of the whole pandemic for me, which seems objectively odd when there's a vaccine being rolled out. Feels a bit one step forward, two steps back at the moment.
Never been diagnosed but im certain i suffer from SAD hate the winter and the dark nights almost as much as i hate the huns.Leaving aside the disappointment of tonight, how's everybody feeling?

This will sound really sad and pathetic but my 6yr old daughter wanted a bird feeder for the garden,finally gave in on Friday,it took a couple of days till any birds came to feed but I spent a good half an hour today just sitting watching them today.
It was really relaxing and calming
I've put a bird feeder for the 1st time also. But nae feathered beasties will look at it!!This will sound really sad and pathetic but my 6yr old daughter wanted a bird feeder for the garden,finally gave in on Friday,it took a couple of days till any birds came to feed but I spent a good half an hour today just sitting watching them today.

It's high up, and has been there for 2 weeks, it's got fat balls ( easy @Sir Shrink ) seeds and nuts (again!!).
I do have a cat which is a prolific hunter, but he can t get near it. Any advice, anyone??
My cat is called Sir Patrick Stanton , Paddy to his pals, so he must stay!!
The sunshine and fresh air helps but a feeling of drowning has taken a hold.
I got video of one ripping a pigeon to bits in my back garden, was amazing to watch. View attachment DSCF0097.mp4My old flat on albion Road, the woman next door to me had feeders for squirrels and all the birds.
Came home one day looked out my window to catch a sparrowhawk feeding on a pigeon..
Maybe a bit much for some, but it was pretty cool seeing a bird of prey up close.
Stared straight at the camera for a picture too ?
They do brighten the mood, for sure.Give it time. The Tits (steady Shrink) love the peanuts, other wee birds prefer seeds. The fat balls I notice are for Robins, Sparraes and wee birds. Make a wee birdtable for thrushes, blackies, doos and suchlike, they can work the bird feeders normally. Paddy will no be helping like.
Good idea. I haven't really followed the advice given on here previously about getting out for a walk this week cos the weather's been so awful. Kinda feel like just hibernating till the sun comes oot and the pandemic is over.Might be a good idea to have a weekly check in for those struggling even if its just to vent?
How are you doing? I saw an article the other day about the extra hours people are working in lockdown and thought of your posts. Seems to be a pretty widespread problem.I was brain washed into thinking working additional because you were in the house and it would keep you occupied and help mental illness. I can safely say it’s the exact opposite
Dodging along waiting on paper work for a new position. Have a bit guilt leaving through a project but still doing average 60 hour week in the last 2 weeeks which has calmed down a bit. Think I’ll be in a bit better mindset once the move and more time to exercise and not think about work every minute of the day.How are you doing?

Fuk that, they were clearly taking the piss and risking your health. Onwards and upwards.Have a bit guilt leaving through a project but still doing average 60 hour week in the last 2 weeeks which has calmed down a bit.
Some days we would be at the laptop from 07:00 until 10:00... brutal it’s not uncommon for guys to do 12-15 hours for 3 months on live campaignsFuk that, they were clearly taking the piss and risking your health. Onwards and upwards.
You won’t look back.
I’ve been there masel but thankfully just binge watching Granny Porn rather than being forced to by a wank employer. Glad you’ll soon be away from it.Some days we would be at the laptop from 07:00 until 10:00... brutal it’s not uncommon for guys to do 12-15 hours for 3 months on live campaigns
Good advice mate.I’ve been there masel but thankfully just binge watching Granny Porn rather than being forced to by a wank employer. Glad you’ll soon be away from it.
Anyway, wish you all the best and Fuk the Hearts ?
Photos of Mrs Shrink or is that great,great granny porn?Good advice mate.
I’m sure this will help Fife and many others who may be struggling a bit but not brave enough to put their hand up to it like Fifehibs has done.
Any links to the granny porn?
Asking for a friend.
