Morning.
It was nice and sunny here , there is some cloud around which might change that .
I have put our bins out for collection.

Good morning.

Still trying to figure out where the week went.

I do that most Friday's, I wouldn't mind but I'm retired.

What a horrible night, my arms now have new kitchen knife inflicted wounds.

My upbeat mood in other threads belies how I really am feeling.

I need no sympathy, I just wish I could make this stop and go away!

Dull drizzly day and forecast is no better for several days and cold on Sunday.

New scam I have not seen before. My TV licence will be cancelled as I have cancelled my direct debit and debt collectors will be after me. Just click here and enter all your bank details.
Aye right. Bin.
They address me by first name only and licence is license. Besides I have not had a licence for years and never a DD as I have no telly anyway.

I've just found a Christmas card in a padded envelope being re-used to send an eBay sale out. I'd ordered a book for my father of local walks to him, to encourage him to get out and about whilst my Mum's ill and afterwards. The author had included a Christmas card.

Now ... is that an 'early' Christmas card.

Or a 'late' one because I didn't check the contents of the envelope properly?

oh wow! well done!

 

[rockyroller]

is it weird that I think I decided to buy a 9 year old car instead, of a new one, because it is that much better than the new one?

2014 Jeep Cherokee w/ only 18K miles (but not garaged) (same as what I have now w/ 204k miles)
vs
2023 Subaru Crosstrek

I had a similar one .

Bank had refused request DD three times for road tax
I don’t pay Road tax by DD
I paid full amount when I bought my new car in June last year

I might be an old crumbly, but I ain’t senile

Second cuppa and a slice of toast with peanut butter went down well

I got on a bike this morning! Only for about 3 miles but at least I've now got my meds up to date.

I've also been sent a pack of poo sticks from the NHS. This bowel cancer screening programme is not exactly a dignified procedure

She even managed to get on the layout.
