How did you know that Mr K has been mentioning for sometime that perhaps it might be a good idea if I sorted it before it collapses under the weight of the paperwork.

Shrewd guess? If you mentioned it even someone who doesn't trust maths can put 2 and 2 together and make 4.
 
expand...Needing some kind of appreciation is normal, even for the very self-sufficient. You shouldn't beat yourself up over that aspect of your humanity. It just indicates that human is what you are and not a robot. None of us can interact with others without some kind of support or appreciation of our efforts. But some of that appreciation has to come from yourself. You need to acknowledge what you do, even if it is flawed, because what you do, you do out of love

Beautifully put. @Annb

Morning all. @Annb I tried CoFID but couldn't find caffeine levels but did find some here - basically seems like a plan to me. @dunelm thanks for sharing the latest art. As for koffy was that a grand, grande or even Trenta? @gennepher good news on the views, the valuable books and (hopefully) Kazakhstan parcel - is it big enough to contain an illegal immigrant? Thanks for sharing another wonderful creative. @Krystyna23040 busy, stressful week but Mr K is right (he's always right), time that magazine rack was sorted :D Bloods for Weds analysed and phone consult done here, on to next round and scan late Jan/early Feb. Fbg around 9.00 am Weds was 3.1 lab test but does degrade after 3 hrs. Realistically T2 isn't really my issue anymore. Currently I have a cold and LC/Keto has never offered anything good there since July 2015. Salmon later today then Spurs this evening may be my best bets.

Thank you @ianpspurs but Starbucks - aaaaagh!
 
@jjraak & @Annb & @gennepher, I have sat in my garden and felt sorry for myself. I needed it!
Then I started afternoon chores with a smile, that this afternoon I will get on with it.Tea for Mrs L delivered.
I want to thank you again for the kind words and sentiment, you have had that experience with this issue and I know I'm a a newbie to all this, and my life has been turned upside down. With help, I know I will do what I have to do, until I can't!

Thank you all.
 
I haven't mentioned the Christmas card we found pushed through our door last evening, there was no name on the envelope, but inside, the message was from a family and their parents, it said that the card was posted as a thank you for the lights shining bright at this festive time.
They have driven around the local area, and selected certain houses with lights outside for chrimbo.
Appreciation of the lights in this time of tory darkness!

What a lovely thing to do.

I live in Little America. In a close of 34 houses 20+ are rented to US service families - I've gone native. Besides, I like flavoured (almond) milk/cream

Have we been invaded?
How come we don't have other 'allied' service personnel and bases, other than American?
Is this the special relationship?

No. The real power taking control - you don't think the Americans trust our clowns (politicians) with dangerous weapons do you?

We had to buy one on the M40, when we should have been on the M1.

When you plan your journey, ensure you have the correct p!ace!
E.G. Maidenhead not Maidstone.

You must be a townee @Lamont D I have been using maps since being a beginning teenager and was never without one.

Mothers eldest brother was manager of a big bakery chain in Bristol. He was a master baker. All he did was point his big Daimler in the general direction of where he wanted to go and put his foot down. I dont think he believed in maps.

By the way @dunelm the snow tyres they have in Scandanavia grip on snow and ice are not these jokes they put on townee cars here.

Spent 30 years going up mountains in the northlands in winter even with low ratio and diff lock I got a Range Rover stuck on on a big snow drift with all four wheels off the ground. We aways carried a shovel to dig the snow out.

I dont go out when its bad now.

Land rovers we had, long wheel base, they were cold and uncomfortable vehicles to drive 150 miles in a day in servicing transmitters...cold feet.

One guy charged a snow drift without putting his wipers on and we finished up off the road when thick snow from the drift covered the windscreen on a mountain road.

Good morning all hope today is an easy day, had to go into Carlisle again and into local town in pm yesterday. But we came back from Carlisle with haddock and chips from Johns Plaice, very nice for a treat.

Have a peaceful day if you can and a wonderful time with your friends and family as is humanly possible by making allowance for others.
It is good how we enjoy peace here.

Lifes too short at 84 for anything else.
