This handling of the Covid crisis by government is unfortunate, and causes knock on effects they had never considered would be a consequence for the people. I think our brains have a lot to adjust to, which we were not prepared for, or rather, didn't have the tools to deal with.

I think we have to daily readjust to a lot @Krystyna23040
And we can become overloaded.
I do agree. Some days it definitely feels like my brain has gone into overload and blown a fuse.

I hadn't considered unfortunate as an alternative to the epithet CNN (Dana Bash around 4 mins) used to describe the 1st Presidential debate. Could be useful in future.

A very late morning for me, showing 6.2 on the scale. My aim today is to step back and chill out as I spent too much time in the early hours of the morning getting frustrated by things I can't change.

Enjoy your day ;)

PS Sometimes I go out in my garden and castrate a bush (can be very satisfying with things you cannot change...but bush always grows again even better...)
Or how about doing some topiary in her ladyship's garden...I could have fun with that one...

interesting link, thank you

THAT, as much as i am ashamed the world see johnson and his nonsense week after week and laughs at us,
would make me very ashamed to be American right now.

loud, obnoxious, rude..
and that's before we get into the deceitful, disrespectful & plain nasty

i think i have seen toddlers having melt downs in the sweet aisle behaving better then that.

sad to think we maybe now have this as being the norm.
something for the next gen of politicians to aspire to be...…, :banghead:

Thank you @jjraak

Something is not well in the state of Denmark...

I really don't know, but I was in total panic mode yesterday, brain refused to function properly.

I am clearing a table in my front room today, to plan with military precision for Monday. This includes keeping me in Flintshire until the last possible minute, thus avoiding main dual carriageway roads and England, and entering Wrexham at the last possible minute, preparing all the stuff I need for the appointment as requested on their list, and much more.

That's an idea...I will have the department's number to give to the police if needed, and more stuff. I am back in control. I was not in control yesterday. I flipped totally, firing off emails to friends which did not make sense to them...

Back in total control today, or at least as much in control as it is for any human being to be. It's all an illusion anyway.

Any more ideas, like phone number of hospital for police is welcome...even silly ideas. I will read them all.

Thanks.

Now the ravens are cawing outside in my garden...not sure if that is a good sign.........

twas a funny for the ravens..
nice to see you still got good humour

A WIN for the Can DO attitude
and a small hug..we're all here for you

but i think you've shown us ....you GOT this :)

I always need at least a night's sleep to get some humour back, though it can be a bit dark to start with @jjraak

You have a good day :)

as to ravens.

lauren in some dark humour always sees crows as the spirit of her mum, looking over us.

Neither of us au fait with bird breeds, but we see many large dark crow like birds
whenever we are away.

at first it bothered me she thought like that, but now i quite like she has that idea in her head.

perhaps yours too, are there offering support, :happy:

and not the harbingers of bad news ?

tempo ok.

lauren again not too good yesterday,
more age related then anything, but still i worry.
no temp, so that's good

stolen pets conundrum today.

Have surrogate doggie son as lady has gone away for a weeks hols.

so drop off Lauren to work.. after she walked the dog,

came home with dog (Frankie)...
and find Marley sitting on our doorstep.

so it was like a brian rix farce,

with me shutting dog in the front room, while i smuggled the cat into the toilet
released the dog to satisfy his need to sniff everything,
then popped him back into room,
released the cat to sniff everything, and fed him
then popped cat in bedroom to sit and sleep,
then dog back out, to sniff everything one more time,...:rolleyes::D

then dog out for a longish walk.

so my day sorted.
dull and overcast here, hope rain stays off.

expecting bad weather tomorrow, though:sorry:

Always there are 5 ravens who fly over or visit my garden. Sometimes they make a heck of a racket. And I am still here many years later, so shall we assume they are supportive protective birds @jjraak

They fed Elijah bread and meat!

They truly are the king of the Corvids and a very early nester and very clever.
D.

I would not eat the meat they eat, when sheep are lambing they do a nice line in sheep afterbirth! :)

And hugs for you :)
Fun day with the animals...musical chairs...and yes I remember the Brian Rix farces. I saw him on stage a few times. Although you didn't need to hear the words to understand the play, for some reason I was the only one in the audience that didn't laugh. But I can recall I was very interested and fascinated by the Brian Rix theatre plays and the doors.

I see the prospect of the Victorian hulks has come on the horizon.
What prat would put asylum seekers on disused ferries off shore?
Haven't they been traumatised enough?

I had thought of that but it is raining. I need to get some old fashioned manual shears so I can clip away in the wet ;)

EDIT nearly forgot. Welcome to the thread @Brokenbill enjoy your stay :)

We had our flu vaccinations at the local pharmacy this am.
Not as Covid secure as the surgery but ok and it was quiet.
I asked the pharmacist if it was the four or three pronged vaccine?
He said up to 65 it is the four pronged, then the older individuals get the combined three vaccines.
