    Have you ever thought about joining sis on their travels?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Do you ever go away on holiday?

    Sounds like your day was very busy! Are you thinking about going out and about again? Maybe a pub lunch or something?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Not been away for a few years now I'm not one for holidays don't know why it's probably just the way I've been made.

    A pub lunch is on the cards outside when the Indian variant subsides which is raging up the road in Bolton only 4 or 5 miles maybe less from me.

    Fair enough, not everyone likes holidays!
    Bugger, I'd not remembered my geography! Of course Bolton is just up the road, sorry lovely.
    Are you getting out and talking to anyone else? I'm aware of how isolating this can be....

    I do get to chat with the neighbours on occasion.

    Fell sleep on the sofa this morning after brekky, after lunch noticed a leak from one of the pipes connected to the valve so put my Mr Spannerman hat on and sorted it. Microwave rotating table stopped rotating only to find a hole had corroded through the metal bottom of the microwave stopping things rotating so just ordered another microwave on line.

    Spuds are growing

    Glad you sorted the leak! Oh goodness about the microwave! Good job you noticed that!

    Hoorah for the spuds!
    I'm really excited, Marc's going to be building me a veggie patch so I'm trying to work out what to grow! It's not going to be huge, about 1m x 1m and it's going to be raised enough so I can sit on the edge or a chair and garden to my heart's delight!

    Are you keeping hydrated? Eating properly? Keeping cool enough?

    Yup keeping hydrated and eating okay though appetite isn't as good when it is so hot.

    New microwave arrived all the way from China (don't we make stuff anymore) 50 years ago we were leaders in engineering, well that's enough about the good old days

    Had a lazy weekend busy doing nothing

    I still have great engineers but why pay them when some dude in China will do it for a fraction of the price? The world is driven by money.
