Sorry life is a bit rough at present. Would Betsy and Ginger cuddling in a wicker basket help?

He loves having his tummy tickled (when he’s in the mood, like all cats) and he has never bitten or scratched me yet. He’s a sweetie.

Yes, I thought of it too, in the playing-with-
the-remaining-letters sort of way.

So, you may be able to walk again soon?

Sorry if this is a silly question, do you mean the foot you no longer have or the other one you told me you weren’t allowed to stand on?

Hope your storm isn’t too bad. We had a storm with hail warning yesterday but the storm was minor and the hail didn’t happen, fortunately.

I hope you weren’t too exhausted to enjoy it.

Russ, anyone has a right to enter a public conversation but there are more polite ways of disagreeing than simply telling a stranger they are wrong. Jumping to conclusions and insulting someone on the basis of your mis-assumption is just plain rude.

I thought ref was pretty lenient several times and Saints were unlucky to have so many injuries so early on. But they were still very strong first half. UBB had more flair and inventiveness and certainly deserved the win. A very good match.

And I’ll remember to keep my big mouth shut after the match!
Enjoy the Giro.

LBB@UBB! ❤️
Indeed, what acceleration.

Hoping it’s the sort of match that gives UBB’s two wingers a chance to do their stuff, they are both amazing.

No problem. Yes, we watched it, Bath deserved the win, they were far better. Looking forward to this afternoon’s match - and a different result 🤞

I thought of 3 very quickly:
1. Getting the eyes and other bad bits out of potatoes.
2. Stabbing the plastic lids that won’t come off by pulling the impossibly small tab that you are supposed to use.
3. Breaking in to firm-skinned fruit or veg before slicing with the whole blade.

Well, I hope you can find some that is accessible.

Do you mean live bands or just recorded music? Live pub bands are the thing we miss most about England.

Blimey! Spoilt for choice.

Does Poland have pubs anything like British ones? French cafés are OK, but often quite sparsely furnished and a very different ‘feel’ to a pub.

I’m fine, thanks. We’ve had a very cool and wet May so far, but only small amounts of rain each day, so a good soaking will be good, especially for newly planted things. But I’d like more sunshine!

Morning Robin. Heavy rain and strong winds here, we will probably do the weekly shop later. Hope the psychiatric nurse helps.

I need a barbecue so I can get that smoky taste. And, yes, more for me, but I have to find something else for himself and sometimes it’s too much trouble.

Babaganous is the aubergine one? Yes? I love it, and good hummus. Alec hates them both 😤

It looks good, I’ve never eaten Turkish food.

Good afternoon. Mooching sounds good, enjoy it. Lovely sunny day here, just had lunch, will be in the hammock later with a book.
