Completely! Perhaps the Chancellor could compare the benefits of a free trade deal with our neighbours with whatever crumbs the US decides to throw our way and we can decide if chlorinated chicken and everything else is worth it!

Oh gosh - sorry to hear that about your sister. A difficult landlord on top of grim neighbours is not fun. We are blessed with our lovely neighbours at present but it hasn’t always been the case so we appreciate having good ones!

Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

Hmm if I could just remember where I put those dilithium crystals… if I find them I’ll let you know 🤣

Long time since I heard that word but it covers it well! It’s a sickening photo..

Morning Mark. I’m sure it is.. The law of unintended consequences and all that.. 🙄 Good job the newly discovered exoplanet that may have life on it is a safe 124 light years away from us! Have a good day.

Wishing you all the best for your recovery 😊
comment in response to post
Morning. Luckily it’s 124 light years away, which should keep it safe for now..
comment in response to post
Good to hear. Glad you’re the other side, as it were. Well done!
comment in response to post
Oh absolutely!

Good morning Kitty. Yep.. my 2nd favourite F word too.. 🤣🤣 To quote a former colleague and now good friend if someone was talking about something annoying or irksome, “Sorry, I didn’t catch how many Fs there were in that?” Have a great day.. 😃

A brutal revelation, Dawn.. Never mind, I’m sure it’ll all be fine after a nice coffee 😆☕️

It is a very beautiful part of the world. I also think you’re right.. I’ve never heard anyone snore in The Highlands..

Ooo.. Glenelg .. my visa application would be straight in! 😃

Good morning M. Happy #FollowBackFriday to you too. I will never loose sight of how glad I am to see the Tories gone but the optics on this are not good..
comment in response to post
Good morning M. I don’t know where to start with it all… utterly heartbreaking..
comment in response to post
Weirdly I was tucked up (and allegedly snoring.. I think Mrs J is a gaslighter.. I’ve never heard myself snore once😉) fast asleep when you posted! Anyhow wide awake now.. Just .. where do we start?! 🤦🏼‍♂️
comment in response to post
Morning. Yes, I’ve followed too. That picture is sickening.

The only pressure the UK Government should be feeling is to negotiate a deal with the EU.
comment in response to post
Oh yes and hoping so..
comment in response to post
Good morning Ted. Have a good day yourself 😃
comment in response to post
That sounds great! I mentioned my son previously who’s just moved house.. he may have some plans … 😉🤣 But .. Family get together on Sunday and I’m hoping I might get out on the water in my wee sailing dinghy 🤞😃😎⛵️
comment in response to post
Good morning Kitty. Glad to hear Cleo is going ok. Happy #ThoughtfulThursday to you too. Hopefully you will have a break over the Easter weekend?
comment in response to post
This alone, never mind their attitude towards the NHS, should have voters turning away from Reform. The frustration is that the opinion polls suggest the opposite.

Good morning Debs. Have an otterly brilliant early finish day! 😃
comment in response to post
Very impressive, Alison. Good colour too! ‘Anfield’ red? 😉

Hey - good to see you. Good pictures too! Crocheting can be a very rewarding distraction. 😃

Pinches self… am I awake? Hmm … slaps face… ouch… yes I am… Just in some weird alternate universe… 🤦‍♂️

To quote the great Billy Connolly, “There are 2 seasons in Scotland.. June and Winter!” Just hoping what we had the last fortnight wasn’t ‘June’🤞🤣

Is this better or worse than pliers rash? 😉 Morning David.

Joining you in sending support Janey’s way!
comment in response to post
Yikes… tricky. If it’s unavoidable not sure what to suggest.. other than maybe a drink beforehand.. 😆 Careful it doesn’t cause too much disinhibition though.. 🤪🤣 You may end up confronting them with facts!

Good morning Vic. That one will do! Very nice! Have a good day.
comment in response to post
Exactly that!
comment in response to post
Ouch! My wife actually did the same, a long time ago. Luckily no flight of stairs underneath! She sort of slowed her fall by half grabbing the ladder on the way down. No serious injury but definitely serious potential for one.
