I like capers, they're like olives, only smaller. They give a good hit of intense flavour.

I see you've been upgraded to Greeny Goodness, AT, well done.But I'll have to disagree with you on the capers... eugh!

Thanks very much cookie or, should I say, go riabh míle maith agat! What's wrong with capers? They're rich and intense with lots of flavour.

That is gorgeous. I have that at least once a week for breakfast, it's tasty stuff. It also perfectly complements a steamy sustaining mug of rea.

Just like me, can't have too much of a good thing!

Indeed. Those characteristics go without saying! Perhaps yourself and capers don't agree because of magnetism? You are both very positive when it comes to richness, intensity and flavour that you just repel each other.

That must be it. Though it would lead to the question of why myself and a good punchy Bordeaux get on so well.

The Bordeaux is bewitched by your winning personality.

I would have said the exact opposite!

Because you're so charmingly self-deprecating, eh cookie?

Indeed, my epitaph will read "a good wine, didn't take himself too seriously".

Cool! That should be great craic. What're the hours like?

9.30-5.30, basically the hours I work already only it's not A 33 3/4 hour week like I used to have.

But the location is much better and more suited to my extracurricular activities so travel wise it should work out better.

i like steaming hot tea with about 3 spoons of sugar. my few weaknesses after giving up smoking and cut down on drink. my girlfriend hits the roof at the amount of sugar i go through!

How did the first day at work go, cookie? Was it what you were expecting?

Oh it's wonderful. I have my own office space, not a cubicle in sight and the people are lovely and I didn't go near a phone once. It was WONDERFUL. Thanks for asking.

How was your monday?

I'm glad it's what you were looking for and the office space will definitely be a mood-enhancer. Thanks for replying.

My Monday was grand. I had a nice walk in the sort-of-rain while out and about today. The weather is nicely sodden at the moment.

I also had a good read of my Economist which arrives on Monday and it was full of interesting stuff about the world.

Glad you all had happy Mondays - and that the job is promising Cookie. That's great news. I hope it just gets better and better. You deserve it.

I still love my job, though.

I'm glad you're happy too Kate P. It seems to be the life of Reilly for yourself down in Laois!

Aye, having my own space will be great. Though it seems I won't be spending an awful lot of time in there for the moment anyway. It's much quieter than the old place which is a blessing, I don't do will with the noise.

I find that kind of rain annoying, I don't like middlegrounds it should either be LASHING or not raining at all. Plus I broke my unberella which didn't help. But I like being in the city centre again and wandering though the busy streets was great, back in civilisation!

So you're working in Town? That's great, I love the buzz that there is on Dublin streets, it's fantastic. It really lifts the spirits when you are in amongst a celebration of humanity on the thoroughfares of our capital.
