Twelve years ago today

Five years ago today. 'Mr C, just now, on the phone. Randomly in conversation. ".... and another thing. Your little sofa. Why the hell is it covered in cushions? Why am l not allowed to sit on it?" My house, my cushions, my sofa. Them's the rules, mate. Don't like it, go home.'

Further text from the young un. 'He's lost his temper with it. He threw the controller down calling it a 'useless piece of shit' and he's gone out for a run now.' Thank god for that. Normal service has resumed.

Five years ago today. 'I've just had a text from the youngest. 'My dad's playing virtual golf. Can you divorce your parents?'

There's 70s men's knitwear, and there's 70s men's knitwear....

Just seen on our local Facebook page.... 'Would anyone with a reptile pet like some dubia roaches? I’ve ordered the wrong size and they are too big for my frog. They are about the size of a thumbnail'

Oh god.

I'll give that a pass, thanks.

In the car this morning, and Barry White comes on the radio. Mags' brother side eyes me and starts laughing. I said "Your sister's got a big mouth." And he laughed more. I shall be having words with her. Not mine and M's faults she kept coming home at inopportune times.... 😳

Four years ago today.

Three years ago today. 'We're watching Alan Partridge. Mags has never seen it before. Now, every time l speak, she's going "I'm sorry, that was just a noise...."'

My house guest has gone off to the memorial service in the park across the way from my house.. His dad was in the army in the second world war. I haven't gone because if l stand for more than a few minutes l keel over and l'd cause disruption.

A year ago today

A year ago today. Hopeful, in the chippy near where l live....

My ex husband once rang me at work and demanded to know "where's the instruction book for the iron?" He actually thought you got some kind of manual with the iron which told you how to press a shirt....

The face of a cat who conned his staff into providing two breakfasts of Iams chicken in jelly in quick succession this morning.

Trawling tonight's tv listings, l see La La Land is on. Years ago, when we were on a break, Mr C asked a lass out, and she said she'd like to go to the cinema to see that. Whereupon he cancelled the date. That'd be his idea of hell. I've texted him to tell him it's on tv later.... 😁

End of life care in England is broken - unequal, underfunded, and fragmented. I'm calling on the Secretary of State to commit to a national strategy that ensures no one faces the end alone. #FixEndofLifeCare campaigns.mariecurie.org.uk/page/179583/...

This wonderful sanctuary is near where l live. This beautiful boy and the wonderful people trying to help him need help urgently. His surgery is on 18th November. Please donate if you can, if not, please share. His surgery is next week. Thank you. x (I'm not sharing the graphic photos).

And the republican cause will continue to pay a lot of criminal lawyers. 😂

Goodnight, Shirley Valentine....

So true, what the hell happened

Margaret and Helen spent 36 years in the dairy industry. 💔 Now, they finally get to live freely, surrounded by love, friendship, and peace at Uncle Neil’s Home. 🥹🐮💕 Keep up with Margaret and Helen at @uncleneilshome on IG #dairy #cows #farming #rescueanimals #animalsanctuary

I've been to Wakefield. There's a place called (l kid you not).... 'Ooh Yah Health Massage'. That doesn't sound dodgy at all 😳 If l hadn't been driving l'd have taken a photo of it.

Thank you to my wonderful friend who shared this with me, knowing l've been 'treated' to such delectable 🙄 images on social media in the not too distant past. youtu.be/RCSYBeWuDhw?...
