Daft question. Lol.

Does anyone else occasionally get a short spell in the day when, like just now I'm sitting here comfy, just at a perfect temperature with a lovely mug of coffee and everything feels just perfect even for a few minutes..........I have maybe lost the plot!

Mo, Mo, Mo........most of the guys on here are married. When/how are we supposed to get that "everything is perfect" moment
I hope MrsD doesn't read this

I get it at the end of a yoga class when we have 10 minutes of meditation.

Morning all. No rain at the moment but we had plenty overnight. More to come looking at that sky.
It is my 73rd birfday today.
Now you can be honest..........from where you are I don't it do I
We dont really DO birthdays apart from the big ones. MrsD is doing a nice meal later, lamb steaks with roasties etc. We have a bottle of bubbly that someone gave us. TBH its not our favourite tipple but we will have a go at that sometime today.
Have a nice day everyone.

Fire extinguisher on hand for the candles?

Enjoy the day, with your feet up. It's only once a year.

Am I alone in doing this? Am I getting old?

Taking doggie for draggies next. She's looking a bit reluctant.
Off out to The Crown at West Down for lunch later.

Just had a big barney with Halifax car arsesurance. I asked them how they justified a 25 quid admin fee when I'd done all the blummen admin? Lots of spluttering and dodging, but no straight answers, so I told them to stick it and cancel the policy right here right now. Suddenly the 25 quid charge went away.

A company only gets one chance to pith me off, and this lot have blown it. Won't be using them again.

Piece of useless information.

Halifax Insurance wasn't started by the Halifax. It was a separate company, working in an old church opposite* the Halifax head office. Later bought out by the Halifax, having failed in court to stop them trading as Halifax Insurance.

*Also opposite the local Freemasons lodge in one direction and the then police station in another direction.

Just opened my cards.
You know about MrsDs aunty who thinks the sun shines out of my rear end.......well she had stuck 25 quid in her card. I wont have a bad word said about her

She must work for Halifax car insurance.

Took a tumble whilst out walking the dog; went to step on the wooden ramp, that goes down to the nature reserve pond on the Tarka Trail, slippery as feck and went down like a sack of spuds! Bruised both of my palms and skinned my shins.
I think MrsD was more shocked than me, as I'm usually as sure footed as a mountain goat. It's the first time she'd ever seen me take a tumble, apart from when I raced motorbikes.
Think I need a beer to recover.......
