And on that note seems shapps, the minister for many fake names, is now removing faces from history....

Oh what a trustworthy bunch this lot all are....

Boris Johnson erased from Grant Shapps spaceport picture

The former PM is missing from a photo posted by the business secretary of a Spaceport Cornwall visit.

We need a bill for any kind of service from our government never mind minimum. Shapps aka Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath or Sebastian Fox also frantically trying to airbursh out austerity, Brexit, Johnson, Truss and the right of his party as causes of the omnishambles/permacrisis. If it wasn't serious it would be the best satire of my life. But then the opposition was Corbyn for a time so we were doomed whatever way we voted.

Bermondsey you say? JKP and her sister went to school there. Caretaker looked suspiciously like Dukey Baby. My bad that was Scooby Doo. War by railway timetable though Alf absolutely no mistake whatsoever. All that hardware and testosterone just waiting for an excuse. Enjoy your nap.

Maybe, happy to supply the appropriate cutting tool .

As for the takedown, "for truth & transparency"....

Thinks it's just more of the ethos they have of saying whatever they like, hoping no one spots the latest lie, then its 'obviously' a *juniors fault....(utter round things, as an MP once said)
Lessons learned, let's move on..ohh look, prince harry ,
Ad infinitum.

Just mortally offended at how deceitful they are and how little they value our intelligence.

Ho hum..

lessons learned, person responsible spoken to, won't happen again..honest
(fingers crossed to prevent spontaneous combustion for lying )

 

[ianpspurs]

hoping no one spots the latest lie,

The point is they actually want it spotted for the reaction to stir up the woke/snowflakes/elite so they can say to their base, see told you. If people are arguing over words their attention isn't on the action - distraction burglary 101. Predictable but works a charm in England. Good news on the gym. The other part was a Brexit opportunity deliberately misreported by the liberal left meter. Probably made in Europe anyhow - new British meters soon. Always McGarret Plains or lower. JRM is on the case.

The morning sky didn't live up to its promise. By the time it was daylight, the grey had taken over and was weeping all over the Island as far as I could see. Wet and cold - very much like gennepher's image today from what I can see through rain stroked windows. Odd, though, the grey sky has a very blue tinge to it. Not sure how it manages that. Blue clouds?

Just given up on my cleaner coming today. She did say she would come this morning so I haven't got on with anything. I've put the little heater on in the kitchen to get some heat into the place and will now go and put everything back on the floors that I had cleared by 7 am. I'm sure she has a good reason but I would prefer if she would remember to let me know what is happening.

This week I am trying to sort out one of my kitchen cupboards. It's actually an IKEA wardrobe and it is a useful cupboard with some shelves but part of the storage is baskets on inferior runners which collapse from time to time. Three shelves have done this and I've so far managed to empty one of them, wash everything on it and put it back together. Might manage the second one today. The one I've done is all small pots/souffle dishes; the next one is larger baking dishes and bowls. I just have too much stuff! One of the things I found was a pair of stainless steel balti bowls. I don't remember when or where I got them, or why. I've never made a balti curry in my life! Charity shop for those, I reckon. Probably for quite a few of the little pots and dishes as well.

Why the winner? Such a poetic description of the weather and stoic way you deal with the slings and arrows nonsense. Clutter? Eat yer heart out Kondo.

But apart from that & the treadmill....(running not walking )
it's all gravy.

Thank you, Ian. That's kind.

Is that the Marie Kondo who likes to keep the place tidy? I could probably do with her help. I wouldn't like to be one of those poor souls who appear in TV programmes being steamrollered into parting with their lifetime's treasures for the enjoyment of voyeurs on the "box". If it is to be done, it will be a private thing. Might not do too much of it though. I'll just enjoy it while I can and leave it to Neil to sort out when I'm gone - he can be much more ruthless than me.

Morning all from a soggy giant pig farm (major water pollutant notwithstanding) protected by USAF, sold as own label but we know. we know. Probably best they protect us after last night's events. Sadly, quite the metaphor for the last decade or so. @Krystyna23040 good news on the pre-rain dog walk and you taking your breaks. @SlimLizzy hug for both of you. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art which is developing nicely to my mind but you artists often seem to be less satisfied with what your hands produce compared to what your mind wanted to deliver. Very much the vibe of these threads - basic, minimal chatty or this full fat version. Best wishes for hospital visit - actually in a building, cabin or tent whatever. The deception of no crisis is wearing a tad thin for anyone who actually uses or works in the NHS. @lindisfel hug and winner for yesterday. @Annb hug for all the ups, downs and dosage issues. @alf_Josiah similar. @gennepher thanks for the creative and I can definitely see the water theme. Laundry day here and indoor steps. Give today your best shot; fake it 'till you make it (or even if you don't) is the zeitgeist so it'll be a great day whatever.
Update: Last week's retinal scan revealed no damage so thanks be to God and perhaps some, through gritted teeth, to Elsie

So glad that your scan was good, Ian. Hope everything else remains satisfactory as well.

You are flipping kidding!!!

Actually I have seen history doctored before. It was about 10 years ago. I won't say exactly what it was, but I had been there when a photo was taken. It wasn't of me, or by me, nothing to do with me. But I noticed on Wickedpedia the addition of a prominent person to say he was there in the photo. I complained, saying he had been photoshopped on to the photo. Shortly after, the correct photo minus the photoshopped person replaced the doctored photo, but with the words saying this person hadn't been in the photo and that the inclusion of him had been an accident, but that he had been at the event...actually he hadn't been there, but I didn't bother any further with it.

I disbelieve everything @jjraak

And, by the way has anyone been sent a spare copy in their chat app feed?
I have, last night. I didn't believe it, so I checked. It was the same.
An incredible work of descriptive fiction, and that is just the first few pages...
That will be a considerable loss to the pocket...

I love your description that your sky is like one of my paintings @Annb
Thank you for that compliment!

I am sorry your cleaner wasted your time you spent clearing the floors for her. I used to do that years ago when I had a cleaner. Very frustrating...

Good job on the cleaning and clearing out the kitchen utensils xx

I agree @Annb
I will keep everything.
It is all needed in this time of austerity.
My 3 kids have begged me to reduce everything to 'normal' proportions before I pop off this mortal core.
How the heck do I know when that will be? It is not like I get advance warning of the date and time...
I refused.
So, they said they would employ a house removal firm and not look at my precious belongings.
Fine I said, but be it on your own heads all those hidden treasures you will lose out on...

Cat Jade's peaceful night & Fox (Foxy Loxy)

Because I am deaf, and didn't have my cochlear hearing processor on when I did this video, I never noticed the app put on some music with it. So thank your lucky stars it wasn't some terrible marching music...

Creative is a winter painting in ZenBrush3
Midnight is easy to do as a hidden cat, but notJade, Jade has white on her top lips and a white chin. Fiddling with her face for ages. And I am not sure currently if I have done them too small. I'll find out once I post it. So fingers crossed...

Time for a long nap before I start my day again...I was awake most of the night...

Have your best day you can...
