    Very briefly popping by, but some nice tuneage if anyone is interested. Crazy P are a disco-y funky band, & have a new album out later this month. You can listen to their new album in full here:

    I am really liking them & will go & see them in a couple of weeks.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Possibly, very cross with the dogs, because its the window by which they sleep. OTOH I can't hear them from my room, so they may well have sent whatever it was on its way and stopped more damage.


    beautiful morning again, so lovely. The grass gre about two inches yesterday alone though! Best growth all year in the last two days!

    I'm absolutely furious. With pretty much everything.
    Have had to walk away from a couple of scenarios already today.

    I know I am working longer hours, am very busy, and am a bit more tired than normal.
    However, that isn't making me feel the levels of anger I am feeling.
    Not ideal to post full details here, however I am seeing people being treated in a shocking and appalling manner, and as well as colleagues, "customers" are not being well treated.

    Being front line, a fair bit of frustration gets taken out on us.

    However (I apologise for so much vagueness) how this is all being managed/controlled is really making me frustrated & angry.

    Sorry you're having such a frustrating time, LJ. Hope it gets better soon.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Its so beautiful again today, its just gorgeous. I saw some of the barn cats all sunbathing and enjoying it and put some extra food out for them so they can have full bellies as well as sun :) I bet lydia's solar panels are paying her a fortune today if her weather is like mine.

    I feel GREAT today. :)

    I'm glad someone does. I continue to fight to supress the urge to kill...:mad:

    I'm being facetious, of course.
    I really do need to post more details in t'other place so you actually know what I'm moaning about. Can anyone pm me a link please?

    Pepper harvest is very disappointing this year compared to last. Got some small habaneros and cayennes hanging, but not enough to be self sufficient in the pepper department!

    Tomatoes are almost finished here...taste-wise it was a good year, size-wise it was bad :)
