I watched an incredible film last night, The Secret In Their Eyes. It's an Argentinian film from 2009 about a homicide case that spans several decades, set to the backdrop of the national events of the period. Highly recommended. The plot is brilliant, you can tell it's based on a book.

No 2 daughter has her site, mortgage, building spec all ready to go but it looks like there is little chance of finding a capable builder who will deliver at anything short of boomtime price gouging rates. Probably going to have to manage it themselves using direct labour or sit back for a couple of years until some sanity returns.Turning millions into thousands

I jokingly made that remark to Mrs D3 a few days back (charging adult kids rent) and she looked at me like I was insane. Surely plenty of parents do this?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

The people I know who never kicked up money to their parents are the most tight fisted/selfish people I know. At one point two of my siblings had their partners basically living in my mother's house, i.e still living with their Mammy (who paid for everything) but splitting their time between both houses, would turn up for 3-4 days a week, eat as much as they like, lounge around hungover on the weekends because their own mother wouldn't believe they'd get so drunk etc. After six months of this they got the hump when told if you're living here you're kicking in money, no ifs or buts. They where back living with Mammy full time quickly after that. I'm not talking 18-21 year olds here, I'm talking 25-30 year olds working full time! Barely paid a bill or bought groceries in their life, never mind clean up after themselves!
Now, if they're in college and only working a single shift a week you might not but if they're doing a degree/diploma that's 12 hours a week and they're working another 12 plus, you'd probably cream a bit off the top.

in my day it was chip in affordable amount when I was working. And at the very basic minimum you do chores
After the old dear died it was just me and the old man in the house. I used to cook for him a fair bit ..he was reared on meat and 2 veg but loved the Spag Bol I would make. "Can you have potatoes with this" he would say (you can take the man outta the bog)
Remember he would be looking askance at me the odd time I would order a chinese "how can you eat that ole muck"
gave him a taste and the next day I was asking him what he fancied for the dinner...Hes there "ah sure maybe we'll try some of that stuff you were eating last night" Hooked he was
Getting nostalgic now. I'd say my all time favourite thing to do as a kid and as an adult was help him with the garden in the Summer. Nice still warm evenings, raking leaves, no rush with anything, having a chat with neighbours and friends as they're passing ....hard to beat

Peru now with the highest Covid death rate in the world after their Govt changed the criteria for recording deaths. This was due to the high number of excess deaths (150%)
Over 1 in 200 of pop dead from Covid, Its actually 1 in 180 FFS. If you're elderly what would it be 1 in 25 ..lower?
The main cause of spread reported was being a lack of ownership of fridges...people converging on local markets as they have to get food in every couple of days. Such a basic simple item we all take for granted.
Unreal

Recommendations please. I'd like to go to Italy for a week as have never been. My requirements are, not the usual spots ie Rome, Venice etc. Something kind of old style with plenty of sightseeing, nothing ott in price. No mad nightlife as obviously no longer drink, but plenty of nice food and ice cream a beach a bonus but not pushed if none there.
I'm googling all night and am none the wiser.
Last short break was Lisbon and did a day trip to Cascais which was amazing.. I'd just like something different but to get alot out of it if ye get me.

Anyway stay in Sorrento , short boat to Capri, then tour volcano , Pompeii and Naples from there .
Florence is lovely . Plenty of amazing cities nearby . Tuscany is just class.

- Go to Sciliy and rent a car. You will not be stuck for things to do.
- Amalfi Coast as mentioned above. Options to visit Naples and Pompei in this area.
- Cinque Terre. 5 picturesque rugged coastal towns linked mostly my foot or boat. Limited car/bus access but this is a good thing.

Nice one Michelle on the booze front, so happy for you.
Am two months in myself and it's been a great decision so far.
I've been to Italy a few times, have been all over it between day trips and longer stays.
My favourite place of all was Florence (Firenze). The open top bus tour is a must.
Positano is mind blowingly beautiful though if you want a beach. It's a good workout for your legs, so be prepared for that.
No matter where you are though, the food will be incredible.
Visit a Trattoria for dinner, they're small family restaurants. The best ones have no menu, the Mama just feeds you her food.
Can't wait to go back.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
