Thank you @gennepherNice white rabbits @dunelm
Lovely rabbit kaleidoscopic collage
Thank you for sharing the good wishes, kaleidoscope and white rabbits. White rabbits on the first day of the month is well outside my experience pre this forum as is Chrimbo for Christmas. They are among words/phrases I need to deal with mentally much better than hubby or that hit the spot. Staycation however remains a huge trigger.
Marvelous rabbits.Good morning everyone on a bright and sunny start to the day,month,year here in the dark and dangerous north. No fireworks heard last night - smashing and managed to sway along to the tunes of the Hootenanny until overtaken by sense and took to my bed. Mrs Miggins was far more sensible, being in bed by 10. Anyhow, out for a family walk this morning. Art bit, Happy New Year, white rabbits for the superstitious. Is there a good recipe for them? Fish today I think or it may be duck. Hope your day and year goes well. Anyone first footing? Best have some koffy and sort out the washing.

Always impressed that at the drop of a hat, you always seem to have to hand the perfect emoji or picture.
Your not supposed to eat them @jjraak though they are probably edible apart from the colouring.Be giving that advice a big miss, @ianpspurs
Still getting over the candles we unsuspectingly bought ...![]()
You should see me when I get wound up.Always impressed that at the drop of a hat, you always seem to have to hand the perfect emoji or picture.
An excellent example above.
I hope that means you've gathered every last piece of your shredded nerves from 'Those builders'.
And have now uncreased & smoothed them out to your satisfaction.
I know I shouldn't, but I do feel a tad sorry for whoever has to face our Genn, fully girded up & enraged...no matter how politely you word it....![]()
It's all open to interpretation.does not compute!
When I was taught to wash dishes, maybe free or four years old.......
Because I was the baby.........
My mum was a very good teacher.......
The tools of the artisan, the profession, the health of the family.........And fairy liquid
In a white porcelain sink, wooden draining board, brass taps, and of course pans of hot water on stove, cos of no feed from back boiler to kitchen sink, only to bathroom........
A scrubbing brush, a wire wool scourer, an absorbent real sponge a proper dish cloth, with a tea towel or two and of course genuine elbow grease.........
Now, nearly seventy years later still the chore I do.......
I am the dishwasher........
Why waste money on a machine and the salt and......and...... And you have to wipe the dishes beforehand!!!!!!
Mrs L loves Queen, not her maj........
but Freddy & co.
Mrs L watches a lot of films, that she likes.
The recent films and tributes to both Freddy and Lizzie have all been consumed.....
it is another of my functions to warn her of pending viewings.
I can't remember her singing. Mrs L has said that she will dance at my funeral......
I hope so!
Thank you Ian !Thank you for sharing the good wishes, kaleidoscope and white rabbits.

Not Gwynnie the Gloop's alter candles? You didn't put them in the wrong back passage did you - surely not? surprised you can still walkBe giving that advice a big miss, @ianpspurs

I think that you exhibited amazing self control @gennepher. Much more than Dame Judi Dench who told a paramedic to **** off when he asked if she had a carer with her.Thank you for the picture compliment.
Oh, they discovered my wrath when there was just two of them left, the two that were explaining in their broken English about connecting up the app on the phone to the boiler. There were some problems.
It was them that did not understand, not me.
J used to say I had a death stare if he displeased me, and he would shrivel up if I employed the death stare.
Well one of the two men got impatient when the app did not connect up to the boiler. And he said to me "Ask your carer, ask your carer, your carer do it for you".
Red rag to a bull? Especially after that day of hell and vulnerability.
My head slowly rose, my face set, my eyes locked into his. His mate knew I was furious, and grinned and backed off into the bathroom. The guy who had said "Ask your carer" looked very small and was racking his one brain cell for an English word to appease me.
"I do not have a carer, " I said slowly, in a cold voice.
"You competent, you competent," he kept repeating.
I still have the knack @jjraak
And I got the app working and connected up to the boiler, not them...
As he said!Lovely rabbit kaleidoscopic collage
Had them for yonks, button batteries and all, but still have the burners so that accidents are covered up, and the rest of the stench that is vegetables cooking!Not Gwynnie the Gloop's alter candles? You didn't put them in the wrong back passage did you - surely not? surprised you can still walkI dislike the smell of the real ones so we bought LED ones. Came with with a remote, 6 hour cycle, flicker and the flame droops as it were, no smell - game changer. They also do tea lights so perhaps a compromise with the Lady of the House.
So, just don’t wash your clothes. To paraphrase Quinten Crisp - after a while it will all look the same.Quick heads up so you can all buy wisely in the January sales. As a chum I would not have you ignorant of the coming trends. The embarrassment you would feel when furiously networking would be excruciating. Black is really, really good - except for teeth, walls and crockery which should obviously always be pure white .
