    Well at least it is warm so the heating can stay off.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
  • Well at least there are no pesky kids with collection buckets at the end of supermarket checkouts, wanting to pack customers' shopping bags to raise funds for their "dancing school trip to Flawrida" and other worthy causes...

    No one sees my rapidly growing, almost pure white roots. And keeping my chin up during virtual get-togethers works wonders for a double chin. Win-win :D

    Living in a very congested and polluted part of inner London it's been wonderful to see the air quality improving day by day and the sinus problems my GP attributed to said air pollution clearing up too.
    I live in a far less polluted area and used to get horrific sinus problems.  If it flares up again might I suggest steaming?  That's what sorted it for me (although I still keep some of my favourite tablets in stock in case).
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Our 18 year old cat has kidney problems.  Very common in cats her age

    cant be treated but can be managed with special diet which will be expensive and she is otherwise well.

    Looking  on the bright side we can afford it due to the large amount of money we have saved over the last couple of months.  No eating out or drinks/snacks when shopping.  Petrol bills drastically reduced    😸

    Well at least we won't be paying double the usual going rate for a holiday (with the kids) just because it's school holiday time.

    Well at least the number of traffic accidents has decreased to zero which is brilliant - and that really is cheering as the sound of the ambulances was a background noise.
    Well until yesterday that is.
    Can't say I've saved any money though now I'm not shopping around and picking up bargains.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
