It's a dull and rainy day today. A good day to be 'stuck' inside and grateful that the daily commute is a thing of the distant past *g* On the other hand, I am currently sharing my kitchen with a large fly who insists in buzzing around in a very annoying manner. It was up in the bedroom last night and forced me to turn off the light earlier than ( Read more... )

I popped out early today to the local Amazon locker to pick up a birthday present I have bought for my brother. It seems I am also collecting sightings of brave and unusual looking men this week. Today I saw another old guy. I would guess he was at least in his 50s, but he could just as possibly have been in his 60s or 70s by the wrinkles in his ( Read more... )

I live in the black and white corner of the country. By which I mean, I live in the territory of the Toon Army (pronounced as one word). By that I further mean that the local football team's strip is black and white stripes. The Toon (town) Army is the collective noun for our local football supporters ( Read more... )

Good intentions. I posted yesterday, but totally failed to answer comments on the previous posts or catch up on my flist. And yet I spent the whole day at the computer with all the tabs open. But sometimes there are work type things that just *need* to be done and I (almost) managed to do them all ( Read more... )

I still have some catch up to do with all your recent posts, but first I am going to post my answer to today's question.

21. What lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down?'Feeling down' is such a vague term, I'm not sure how to approach it. I don't really suffer from mood swings. On the whole I have a fairly equitable temperament ( Read more... )

I've been missing in action, but before I do any catch-up and read other people's answers to the August meme questions I've missed, I am going to post my own replies.

And since I have managed to miss so many, they are going behind a cut, to save you being subjected to a long, long post that takes you hours to scroll past *g*

16. Have you ever ( Read more... )

I am doing pretty well this month, but I suspect that won't last in the next few days. But, this morning I do have time to post, so here goes - a bit of indulgent fantasy today:

15. If you were to open up any sort of shop or store, what type of shop would you open?I don't think I'd want to be a shop keeper, not really, but if I had to I would ( Read more... )

Hello Friday. It's mid-August already and it was dark when I first woke up this morning, so I pretended it wasn't 5am and went back to sleep for an hour until daylight arrived properly. It was dark when I went to bed last night, too. Sorry for the downer, but I see autumn on the horizon.

And talking about early and late:

14. Are you usually ( Read more... )

And today in the monthly meme we go from the sinister (and hopefully impossible) to the fun (and equally impossible) *g*

13. If you could bring back any cancelled TV series, which TV show would you choose to bring back?It seems to me that these days most successful television series don't die until they have out-lived the interest of their fans ( Read more... )

An interestingly questionable question in the meme today:

12. If you could implant one false memory in the minds of everyone in your country, what would that memory be?OMGoodness, what a horrible question! If I think about the things I wish were different in or about my country, the things that occur to me are attitudes and decisions made. But ( Read more... )
